Health Literacy01:21

Health Literacy

Health literacy is an individual's or a community's capacity to comprehend, receive, read, and use relevant healthcare information and services. The World Health Organization (WHO, 2018) defines health literacy as the cognitive and social skills that determine the ability of individuals to gain access to, understand, and use information in ways that promote and maintain good health. As a result, the WHO helps individuals manage long-term health concerns, participate in preventative programs,...

Health Information Technology (HIT)
Health Information Technology, commonly called HIT, integrates advanced information systems and technology in healthcare settings. Its primary functions include:
Methods of Documentation VII: EMR01:30

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,...
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...
Improving Translational Accuracy02:07

Improving Translational Accuracy

Base complementarity between the three base pairs of mRNA codon and the tRNA anticodon is not a failsafe mechanism. Inaccuracies can range from a single mismatch to no correct base pairing at all. The free energy difference between the correct and nearly correct base pairs can be as small as 3 kcal/ mol. With complementarity being the only proofreading step, the estimated error frequency would be one wrong amino acid in every 100 amino acids incorporated. However, error frequencies observed in...

Summary

Electronic health (eHealth) solutions can bridge gaps in fragmented healthcare systems, improving information flow and patient-centered care. This technology enhances healthcare efficiency and quality by empowering patients and enabling better health management.

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Digital Health
  • Healthcare Systems Research

Background:

  • Healthcare systems are complex and fragmented, leading to inefficiencies and quality issues due to discontinuities in care.
  • Existing healthcare models often lack seamless transitions between different care settings and stakeholders.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the potential of electronic health (eHealth) to improve healthcare continuity and efficiency.
  • To examine how eHealth can facilitate patient-centered and patient-controlled care processes.
  • To understand the evolution of eHealth capabilities with advancements in web technology.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis of eHealth's role in healthcare.
  • Review of healthcare system fragmentation and discontinuities.
