Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

3.8K
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...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I

2.5K
A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II

The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
The agent-host-environment model states that disease results...

Integrated Healthcare System01:20

Integrated Healthcare System

2.1K
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,...

Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-centered Care

2.7K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Software Engineering

Background:

  • Mobile health (mHealth) offers potential for improved healthcare access, especially in developing nations.
  • A gap exists in design guidelines for mHealth applications.
  • This paper addresses the need for structured design approaches in mHealth.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a novel framework for mHealth application design.
  • To integrate the Information Systems Research (ISR) framework with design thinking.
  • To demonstrate the framework's utility through a use case.

Main Methods:

  • A combined framework merging the ISR framework and design thinking was developed.
  • The framework was applied to re-design a mobile application for reading tuberculin skin tests (TST).
  • User-centered design methods including personas, observations, prototyping, and questionnaires were employed.

Main Results:

  • The framework facilitated end-user engagement and rapid, low-cost app development.
  • Usability challenges, such as image capture and instruction clarity, were identified and addressed.
  • The re-designed TST reading app showed improvements based on user feedback.

Conclusions:

  • The combined framework effectively integrates ISR and design thinking for user-centered mHealth interventions.
  • Engaging end-users is crucial for successful mHealth technology implementation in resource-limited settings.
  • The proposed framework serves as a valuable guide for designing effective mHealth applications.
