Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

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...

Computed Tomography

Computed Tomography

Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Integrated Healthcare System

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,...

Background:

The Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) 3.0 standard, ratified in 1993, has been pivotal for Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) innovation.
Key DICOM operations (C-MOVE, C-FIND, C-STORE) enable interoperability between disparate medical imaging systems.

Purpose of the Study:

To discuss the adaptation of core DICOM functionalities to internet standards.
To address next-generation PACS challenges, including distributed mobile systems and viewing platforms.

Main Methods:

Examining the evolution of DICOM standards.
Analyzing the integration of DICOM operations with internet protocols.

Main Results:

DICOM's core operations (C-MOVE, C-FIND, C-STORE) are being updated for broader internet compatibility.
Newer DICOM standards aim to enhance functionality for distributed and mobile medical imaging environments.

Conclusions:

The ongoing adaptation of DICOM to internet standards is essential for future PACS development.
These advancements will support highly distributed mobile acquisition and viewing platforms in medical imaging.
