Birth Control Methods

Birth Control Methods

Vasectomy is a surgical form of male sterilization that involves severing and sealing the vasa deferentia, preventing sperm from mixing with semen during ejaculation. Because a vasectomy does not impact the testes' ability to produce testosterone, hormone levels, libido, and sexual function generally remain unchanged. While vasectomy is highly effective in preventing pregnancy, with a success rate near 99.85%, rare cases of recanalization (spontaneous reconnection) can occur. Although...

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...

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...

Secondary Healthcare System

Secondary Healthcare System

Secondary healthcare is offered by a specialist, generally in hospitals or clinics for patients referred by primary healthcare providers. It occurs when a person has an illness or injury that requires specific medical care. Secondary care is often referred to as acute care. Secondary care can range from uncomplicated care to repair a minor laceration or treat a strep throat infection to more complicated emergent care, such as treating a head injury sustained in an automobile accident. Whatever...

Area of Science:

Reproductive Health
Mobile Health (mHealth)
Evidence-Based Medicine

Background:

Unmet contraceptive needs impact women's reproductive goals.
Many existing contraception apps lack accuracy and evidence-based information.
Accurate contraception information is crucial for informed decision-making.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop an evidence-based, patient-centered contraceptive app.
To address the need for reliable contraception information.
To align with World Health Organization (WHO) Medical Eligibility Criteria (MEC).

Main Methods:

Developed the 'MyContraception' app based on user requirements and WHO MEC.
Conducted functional testing to ensure software requirements were met.
Employed a rigorous experimental design for empirical evaluation of the app's quality and impact.

Main Results:

The MyContraception app was developed and functionally tested.
User feedback was incorporated into non-functional testing.
An empirical evaluation was designed to assess overall quality and impact on patient care.

Conclusions:

The MyContraception app offers a reliable, evidence-based resource for contraception.
The app aims to improve patient-centered contraception care.
Rigorous testing ensures the app's quality and effectiveness.
