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...

Area of Science:

Medical Informatics
Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

Physician adoption of electronic medical records (EMR) is hindered by traditional computer interfaces.
Keyboard use disrupts physician-patient eye contact, a critical element in clinical encounters.
Many physicians lack typing proficiency or willingness to type.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore pen-based computing as a solution to physician resistance towards EMR systems.
To review current pen-based technologies and their healthcare applications.

Main Methods:

Review of existing pen-based computer technologies.
Description of two validated healthcare applications utilizing pen-based systems.

Main Results:

Pen-based computers offer an intuitive data entry method via stylus, handwriting recognition, and gestures.
These devices are unobtrusive, supporting maintained eye contact during patient interactions.
Successful healthcare applications demonstrate the viability of pen-based EMR systems.

Conclusions:

Pen-based technology presents a viable and effective alternative to keyboard-based data entry for physicians.
Implementing pen-based systems can enhance EMR adoption and improve the quality of physician-patient communication.
