Healthcare Agencies I

1.1K
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...

Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-centered Care

3.1K
Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

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...

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,...

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
  • Computer Science

Background:

  • The global elderly population is increasing, with a concurrent rise in chronic illnesses.
  • Traditional care settings face challenges in meeting the complex needs of aging individuals.
  • Older adults express a strong preference for remaining in their homes independently for as long as possible.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present methodologies for developing a cloud-based semantic system tailored for elderly home care.
  • To offer valuable information and knowledge-based services addressing personal living needs.
  • To enhance the quality of life for elderly individuals aging in place and support their caregivers.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a cloud-based semantic system leveraging ontologies for data integration and analysis.
  • Application of an interdisciplinary research approach involving user researchers, ontology engineers, and domain stakeholders.
  • Focus on personal living hemispheres: daily care, social needs, and daily life assistance.

Main Results:

  • The system facilitates the integration, analysis, aggregation, and efficient utilization of diverse patient data in the cloud.
  • Ontologies enable structured knowledge representation for personalized information and services.
  • The developed platform offers significant added value for home-based elderly care.

Conclusions:

  • A cloud-based semantic system, built with ontologies and interdisciplinary collaboration, can effectively support elderly individuals aging in place.
  • Such systems are crucial for addressing the evolving healthcare needs of an aging population.
  • The platform enhances patient autonomy and caregiver support, improving the overall quality of home-based care.
