Dimensions of Health and Illness01:21

Dimensions of Health and Illness

9.8K
The factors influencing the health-illness continuum can be internal or external and may or may not be under conscious control. They are related to the following eight human dimensions, and each dimension is interrelated to one other.

Healthcare Associated Infections I: Iatrogenic, Exogenic and Endogenic01:26

Healthcare Associated Infections I: Iatrogenic, Exogenic and Endogenic

5.8K
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) occur in a healthcare facility while a person receives care for another ailment. This category also includes work-related infections among healthcare staff.
HAIs significantly increase the cost of health care. Extended stays in healthcare institutions, increased disability, increased costs of medications, including specialized antibiotics, and prolonged recovery times add to the patient's expenses and the healthcare institution and funding bodies.

Tertiary Healthcare System01:21

Tertiary Healthcare System

2.2K
Specialized care provided over an extended period is called tertiary care. Usually, a primary or secondary care physician will refer a patient to tertiary care. A patient's maximum physical and mental function is restored in tertiary care, which is caused due to the impact of a chronic illness or condition. Tertiary care aims to achieve the highest level of functioning possible while managing chronic illness. For example, a patient who falls and fractures their hip will need secondary care...

Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-I01:21

Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-I

2.6K
An interdisciplinary team includes many healthcare professionals working together and utilizing their skills, knowledge, and expertise to provide holistic and quality patient care.
Physicians
The physician's primary responsibility is to diagnose illness and direct the medical or surgical treatment of the condition. The authority to admit patients to a healthcare agency or institution and practice care within that setting is granted to physicians by the healthcare agency or institution...

Traditional Level Of Health Care System01:26

Traditional Level Of Health Care System

3.4K
The levels of care describe the services provided in the healthcare system. Accordingly, there are six levels of the traditional healthcare system in the US: preventive, primary, secondary, tertiary, restorative, and continuing healthcare. A nurse must understand how the healthcare industry organizes and provides services within these levels of care.
The preventive healthcare service includes tests for screening. Preventive health care services include identifying and reducing disease risk...

Area of Science:

  • Information Security
  • Health Informatics
  • Sociology of Technology

Background:

  • Hospital information systems face unique challenges in balancing security with clinical workflows.
  • Existing security measures may be inadequate or misused in the complex 'Natural Hospital Environment'.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Introduce the Socio-Technical-Material (STM) theoretical framework and the Natural Hospital Environment (NHE) concept.
  • Analyze how clinicians interact with privacy and security in Australian public hospitals.
  • Inform future improvements in hospital-based e-health organizational frameworks.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of pertinent studies.
  • Analysis of previously published Australian (Victoria) case study data.
  • Thematic categorization of clinician work practices related to privacy and security.

Main Results:

  • Natural Hospital Environments are characterized by pervasive but inadequate computer use, poor aural privacy, shared workspaces, and outdated infrastructure.
  • Clinicians often circumvent security tools (e.g., passwords) for patient care, finding them less effective than paper-based methods.
  • Factors influencing patient health information privacy in public hospitals are often beyond the control of clinicians and administrators.

Conclusions:

  • Improved understanding of the STM framework and NHE is essential for enhancing hospital e-health security.
  • Addressing controllable aspects of security and privacy requires acknowledging limitations beyond clinician and administrator control.
  • Effective management and planning for secure hospital settings necessitate a comprehensive view of socio-technical and environmental factors.
