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...

Methods of Documentation VI: Case Management Model

Methods of Documentation VI: Case Management Model

The case management model is a multidisciplinary approach that involves healthcare professionals from diverse disciplines, such as physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, and pharmacists, working collaboratively to address the various needs of patients. Each healthcare professional brings unique expertise and perspectives, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the patient's condition and tailoring treatment plans accordingly.
For example, a patient with a chronic...

Methods of Documentation II: POMR

Methods of Documentation II: POMR

The Problem-Oriented Medical Record (POMR) revolutionized medical record-keeping by introducing a systematic approach focusing on the patient's problems rather than merely listing symptoms. Dr. Lawrence Weed's introduction of this method in the 1960s marked a significant advancement in medical documentation. The POMR framework consists of four key components: the database, problem list, plan of care, and progress notes.

Area of Science:

Pathology
Medical Technology
Laboratory Science

Background:

Digital pathology (DP) adoption is growing, yet most documented experiences are from public health facilities.
Limited data exists on DP implementation challenges and successes within high-volume private laboratory settings.

Purpose of the Study:

To detail the experience of transitioning to digital pathology in a high-volume private laboratory.
To identify and address the key challenges encountered during DP implementation in private practice.

Main Methods:

Initiated DP transition in 2020, achieving 100% histology case digitization.
Utilized two high-capacity Aperio GT450DX scanners for whole slide imaging (WSI) at 40× magnification.
Integrated Aperio eSlide Manager WebViewer with the existing laboratory information system.

Main Results:

Achieved full digitization of histology cases, leveraging pre-existing sample tracking infrastructure.
Identified initial scanning error rates of 2.1% (scanner-detected) and 3.5% (manual QC).
Optimized pre-scanning processes and collaborated with vendors to enhance WSI quality.

Conclusions:

Despite challenges, private sector DP implementation offers significant safety and quality benefits.
Successful DP transition provides a foundation for integrating artificial intelligence tools to improve patient care.
Adapting established guidelines, like those from the Royal College of Pathologists, facilitated pathologist validation.
