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...

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...

Methods of Documentation VII: EMR

Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) primarily center around electronically documenting patients' health information within a single healthcare organization or practice. They contain essential clinical data related to a patient's medical history, diagnoses, medications, treatment plans, lab results, and other pertinent information relevant to the specific encounter or episode of care. EMRs are designed to streamline documentation and workflow processes within individual healthcare settings,...
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,...

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Emergency Medicine
  • Information Systems

Background:

  • Emergency care involves complex, distributed activities requiring seamless information flow between Emergency Medical Service (EMS) agencies and hospitals.
  • Current systems often lack interoperability, hindering access to critical patient and operational data across different locations and times.
  • Addressing these gaps is crucial for optimizing emergency care processes and patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an integrated computer support system for emergency care processes.
  • To enhance collaboration and coordination by providing timely access to patient and operational information.
  • To overcome challenges in information format standardization and system interoperability.

Main Methods:

  • Development of an integrated, cloud-based EMS architecture.
  • Utilization of Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) profiles for standardized emergency case information.
  • Implementation of Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS) Emergency Data Exchange Language (EDXL) Hospital Availability Exchange (HAVE) for operational data exchange.
  • Incorporation of an intelligent module for case triaging and resource allocation.

Main Results:

  • An integrated cloud-based architecture enabling authorized users to access standardized emergency case information.
  • Successful exchange of operational data with hospitals using EDXL-HAVE.
  • An intelligent module capable of supporting triaging and optimal ambulance/hospital selection.
  • Improved information accessibility and coordination across emergency care providers.

Conclusions:

  • The developed integrated system effectively supports emergency care processes by cross-linking institutional healthcare systems.
  • Standardized information formats and interoperable data exchange are key to improving emergency care coordination.
  • Cloud-based architectures and intelligent modules offer a viable solution for ubiquitous trans-institutional emergency information systems.
