This study developed a management information system (MIS) to enhance elderly day care (EDC) services. The new system aims to improve the accuracy, comprehensiveness, and efficiency of EDC operations, ultimately benefiting elderly individuals.
Area of Science:
- Gerontology
- Health Informatics
- Information Systems
Background:
- Elderly day care (EDC) centers require efficient management systems.
- Current EDC management practices may lack accuracy and comprehensiveness.
- Improving the quality of life for elderly individuals is a key societal goal.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a practical and highly efficient management information system (MIS) for elderly day care (EDC) centers.
- To enhance the operational efficiency and management capabilities of EDC facilities.
- To improve the overall well-being and quality of life for elderly individuals utilizing EDC services.
Main Methods:
- System requirements analysis for EDC operations.
- Development of a management information system (MIS) based on operational guidelines.
- Integration of MIS into existing EDC management workflows.
Main Results:
- A functional and efficient MIS tailored for elderly day care (EDC) centers has been successfully developed.
- The implemented MIS provides more accurate and comprehensive data for EDC management.
- Operational efficiency in EDC centers is demonstrably improved through the system's introduction.
Conclusions:
- The developed MIS offers a practical solution for enhancing elderly day care (EDC) management.
- Implementing this MIS leads to more accurate, comprehensive, and efficient operations in EDC centers.
- The system has the potential to significantly improve the lives of elderly individuals through better care management.

Ostomy Care
An ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening from the intestines to the outside of the body, allowing for the rerouting of effluent. This opening is known as a stoma. A stoma usually protrudes above the skin surface, appearing pink or red, moist, and round, and it lacks nerve sensations.
There are different types of ostomies, including colostomies, ileostomies, and urostomies:
