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...

Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

3.9K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Health Informatics
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Medication errors pose significant risks in disease treatment, particularly for aging populations.
  • Elderly outpatients with multiple chronic conditions require enhanced medication management strategies.
  • Improving medication safety for outpatients is crucial due to the global aging demographic.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design, demonstrate, and evaluate a cloud-based medication safety support system for elderly outpatients.
  • To reduce medication errors among elderly individuals managing chronic diseases.
  • To enhance medication adherence and safety in the homecare setting for seniors.

Main Methods:

  • A three-tier architecture system was developed, including front-end, mobile (Android app), and cloud tiers.
  • The mobile application offers features like medication reminders, dispensing assistance, and forgotten medication alerts.
  • The Technology Acceptance Model was used to assess user intention and satisfaction with the system.

Main Results:

  • System acceptance testing demonstrated high acceptance among elderly users.
  • The developed system effectively implements patient-centered services for medication management.
  • The m-health system shows promise in supporting elderly outpatients' homecare needs.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed m-health system can significantly assist elderly outpatients in preventing medication errors.
  • This technology improves medication safety and adherence for seniors managing chronic conditions at home.
  • The system represents a valuable tool for enhancing the quality of homecare for the elderly.
