Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

5.9K
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...

Integrated Healthcare System

2.0K
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,...

Secondary Healthcare System

1.8K
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...

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...

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Computer Science
  • Blockchain Technology

Background:

  • Modern technology is driving the shift towards smart healthcare systems.
  • Mobile health (mHealth) leverages wearable sensors, telecommunications, and the Internet of Things (IoT) for patient-centered care.
  • Existing mHealth systems face challenges with data transparency, security, and privacy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a secure and transparent mHealth system architecture.
  • To address the limitations of data security and privacy in current mHealth solutions.
  • To enhance remote patient monitoring, diagnosis, and treatment processes.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of a private blockchain on the Ethereum platform.
  • Utilization of the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) for distributed health data storage.
  • Employment of smart contracts for data access, recording, and alerts.
