Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System01:29

Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.
Cost Containment
Payment for healthcare services has historically promoted adoption of costly and often unnecessary or inefficient...
Integrated Healthcare System01:20

Integrated Healthcare System

An integrated healthcare system (IHS) is a set of organizations that provides for or arranges to provide coordinated and continuous service to a defined population. The IHS takes responsibility for that particular population's health status and outcome, both clinically and fiscally. An integrated healthcare system is a well-organized, well-coordinated, and collaborative network. The integrated delivery system is a network that connects different healthcare providers to deliver organized,...

Introduction To Health Care Delivery System01:18

Introduction To Health Care Delivery System

The healthcare system is constantly changing and complex. Various services are available from different healthcare providers, but gaining access to these services has become challenging for people with limited healthcare insurance. Uninsured people present a challenge to healthcare because they frequently postpone or forego treatment.
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) advocates for a patient-centered, effective, safe, timely, equitable, and effective healthcare system. The National Priorities...
Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System01:26

Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is limited...
Primary Healthcare Services01:30

Primary Healthcare Services

Primary care promotes wellness and prevents disease. This care includes health promotion, education, protection (such as immunizations), early disease screening, and environmental considerations. Settings providing this type of healthcare include physician offices, public health clinics, school nursing, and community health nursing.
In 1978, international leaders convened in Alma-Ata, Kazakhstan, for what would be a pivotal event in global health. The Alma-Ata Declaration was the first to call...

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Computer Science

Background:

  • Healthcare delivery is shifting from organization-centric to patient-centric models.
  • This shift necessitates improved collaboration and data sharing among healthcare professionals.
  • Existing systems often lack the interoperability required for seamless cross-organizational processes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present an IT infrastructure supporting patient-centric healthcare delivery.
  • To facilitate collaborative, multidisciplinary, and cross-organizational healthcare processes.
  • To promote interoperability and secure sharing of patient health information.

Main Methods:

  • Development of an internet platform as the core infrastructure.
  • Implementation of e-services for healthcare professionals.
  • Integration of a Virtual Healthcare Record for a unified patient health view.
  • Application of an agent-oriented paradigm for system design.

Main Results:

  • Successful implementation of the IT infrastructure in the LuMiR project for the Basilicata region.
  • Demonstrated enhanced inter-communication among authorized healthcare professionals.
  • Facilitated secure sharing of the Virtual Healthcare Record.
  • Showcased the potential of agent-oriented approach for flexibility and adaptability.

Conclusions:

  • The presented IT infrastructure effectively supports the transition to patient-centric healthcare.
  • The agent-oriented paradigm offers significant advantages in flexibility, adaptability, and reusability for healthcare systems.
  • The developed regional health digital ecosystem enhances healthcare system support and interaction.
