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...

Ethical Standards I

Ethical Standards I

The American Nurses Association (ANA) created and implemented the first nationally accepted Code of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements. The Code of Ethics is a living document regularly updated by the ANA and establishes an ethical standard that is non-negotiable for nurses in all roles and settings.
The Code of Ethics provisions outline the nurse's duty to the patient, the healthcare team, the profession, and society. The Code's fundamental principles include advocacy,...

Ethical Standards II

Ethical Standards II

Ethical standards are the backbone of nursing practice, guiding nurses as they interact with patients, families, and colleagues. These standards are crucial for providing safe, empathetic care centered on the patient's needs.
Nurses are entrusted with upholding various ethical principles and standards. Nurses forge solid therapeutic relationships using trust, empathy, autonomy, confidentiality, and professional competence.
Confidentiality is crucial, embodying respect for individual privacy...

Area of Science:

Health Informatics
Cybersecurity
Data Science

Background:

Digitalization of e-health systems has increased efficiency but also created vulnerabilities to cyber attacks, particularly for medical records.
Existing security measures like firewalls and encryption are insufficient alone for maximum security in medical data sharing.
Data breaches in healthcare necessitate advanced security solutions to protect sensitive patient information.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose a decentralized and trustless framework for secure medical data and image transfer and storage.
To combine blockchain technology with zero trust security principles for enhanced medical data protection.
To address vulnerabilities in medical data security during transmission and storage.

Main Methods:

A comprehensive review of studies on blockchain and zero trust security models was conducted.
A decentralized and trustless framework was proposed by integrating blockchain and zero trust principles.
The system utilizes blockchain's immutability, zero trust principles for encryption and authentication, and Inter Planetary File Systems (IPFS) for scalable off-chain storage.

Main Results:

Blockchain technology ensures data integrity through an immutable audit trail of all transactions.
Zero trust principles guarantee that medical data is encrypted and only accessible by authenticated users and devices.
The proposed model effectively addresses numerous data security vulnerabilities in medical data handling.

Conclusions:

A novel system combining blockchain, zero trust, and IPFS is proposed to combat medical data vulnerabilities.
This integrated system enhances the security of medical or health data transmission and storage.
The framework offers a robust solution for safeguarding sensitive health information in digital environments.
