Integrated Healthcare System

2.4K
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,...

There are various healthcare agencies in the United States—some of which are managed by religious institutions and others by different government branches.
Parish nursing is a growing specialty nursing profession that focuses on holistic healthcare, health promotion, and illness prevention. It blends professional nursing practice with a health ministry, focusing on health and healing within the context of a Christian community. Parish nurses serve as health educators, referral sources,...

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...

Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

6.5K
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...

Healthcare agencies provide healthcare services to people. In the United States, voluntary agencies are often non-profit centers sponsored by donations, grants, or fundraisers. One such organization is Meals on Wheels, which provides meals to the elderly and homebound. The American Heart Association and the American Lung Association are other non-profit community organizations. Doctors and nurses are frequently active members of these organizations, which offer health checks and educational...

Area of Science:

  • Wireless communication networks
  • Computer science

Background:

  • Relay sensor networks are crucial for healthcare data transmission.
  • Random linear network coding (RLNC) offers efficient data dissemination but faces challenges like delay and decoding failures in MAC protocols.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a cloud-assisted RLNC-based MAC protocol (CLNC-MAC) for healthcare sensor networks.
  • To address challenges of delay and decoding failures in RLNC-based MAC protocols.
  • To evaluate the performance of the proposed CLNC-MAC protocol.

Main Methods:

  • Adoption of a cloud architecture with a central cloud manager coordinating relays.
  • Development of a mathematical model to calculate system throughput, mean completion time, and energy efficiency.
  • Analysis of CLNC-MAC protocol performance under error-prone channel conditions.

Main Results:

  • The proposed CLNC-MAC protocol effectively manages data dissemination in healthcare sensor networks.
  • Central coordination in the cloud architecture is shown to be vital for maximizing RLNC gains.
  • The mathematical model provides key performance metrics for system evaluation.

Conclusions:

  • Cloud-assisted RLNC-based MAC protocols offer a promising solution for efficient and reliable data delivery in healthcare sensor networks.
  • Centralized coordination significantly improves the performance of RLNC under challenging channel conditions.
  • CLNC-MAC demonstrates improved system throughput, reduced completion time, and enhanced energy efficiency.
