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...

Health Information Technology and Healthcare Information System

Health Information Technology (HIT)
Health Information Technology, commonly called HIT, integrates advanced information systems and technology in healthcare settings. Its primary functions include:

Purpose of Health Records I

Purpose of Health Records I

The vital purpose of health records is to provide a complete and accurate account of a patient's medical history, including communication, diagnostic and therapeutic orders, care planning, research, and quality review.
Here's a breakdown of how health records serve these purposes:

Integrated Healthcare System

Integrated Healthcare System

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,...

Purpose of Health Records II

Purpose of Health Records II

Health records serve various essential purposes in the healthcare system. Here are some key purposes:

Nursing Clinical Information System

Nursing Clinical Information System

Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS)
A Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS) is a specialized type of healthcare information system tailored to meet the unique needs of nursing practice. It incorporates the principles of nursing informatics to streamline information management and improve the quality of care delivery.
Critical attributes of NCIS include:

Area of Science:

Health Informatics
Blockchain Technology
Distributed Ledger Technology

Background:

Health Information Exchange (HIE) improves healthcare quality and care coordination.
Current HIE systems face challenges in patient-centricity, including privacy concerns, data inconsistency, and access issues.
The Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) promotes patient-centric HIE designs with shifted data ownership.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose a patient-centric Health Information Exchange (HIE) model using blockchain technology.
To address barriers in current HIE systems, focusing on security, privacy, and patient control.
To leverage blockchain's unique features for a secure and efficient HIE solution.

Main Methods:

Investigated current Health Information Exchange (HIE) workflows.
Developed a blockchain model utilizing smart contracts for data security, privacy, and provenance.
Implemented patient-centric features like data segmentation and an 'allowed list' for clinician access.
Conducted large-scale simulations to evaluate the model's performance.

Main Results:

The blockchain model effectively protects data security and patient privacy.
Ensured data provenance and provided patients with full control over their health records.
Demonstrated feasibility, stability, security, and robustness through quantitative evaluation in simulations.

Conclusions:

Blockchain technology offers a feasible solution for patient-centric Health Information Exchange (HIE).
The proposed model enhances data security, privacy, and patient empowerment in healthcare.
This approach addresses critical challenges in current HIE systems, paving the way for improved healthcare delivery.
