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...

Classification of Illness

8.1K
The meaning of illness is individualized to each person who experiences an alteration in health. In contrast, disease is a medical term indicating a pathological change in the structure and function of the body or mind. It is a condition that has specific symptoms and boundaries.
An illness is a response to a disease in which the person's level of functioning is changed compared with a previous level. The general classification of illness includes acute and chronic.
Acute illness is severe...

Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-centered Care

2.5K
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:

  • Natural Language Processing
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Medical Informatics

Background:

  • Traditional question answering (QA) struggles with knowledge-intensive domains like medicine.
  • Existing knowledge-based QA (KBQA) methods are limited by historical data and require extensive human effort.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an efficient knowledge graph-based question answering (KGQA) method for the medical domain.
  • To address the limitations of traditional QA and KBQA in handling complex medical queries.

Main Methods:

  • Constructing a medical knowledge graph by extracting entities and relations from medical documents.
  • Understanding user questions by extracting key information and recognizing intent using information gain.
  • Employing a weighted path ranking inference method on the knowledge graph to score relevant entities.
  • Generating answers by inferring candidate entities from the knowledge graph.

Main Results:

  • The proposed KGQA method successfully understands medical questions.
  • It effectively connects questions to the constructed medical knowledge graph.
  • The system accurately infers answers based on the knowledge graph.

Conclusions:

  • The developed KGQA approach demonstrates efficiency in answering medical questions.
  • This method offers a promising solution for knowledge-dependent question answering in specialized domains.
  • The approach reduces reliance on historical cases and manual labor.
