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...

Integrated Healthcare System

Integrated Healthcare System

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,...

Area of Science:

Health Informatics
Blockchain Technology
Internet of Things (IoT)

Background:

Electronic Health Records (EHR) and health monitoring Internet of Things (IoT) devices have digitized patient data.
Data fragmentation across health infrastructures hinders medical data interoperability at the point of care.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce BlockIoT, a system utilizing blockchain technology to transfer inaccessible, centralized medical device data to EHR systems.
To enhance healthcare providers' insights and improve patient outcomes through integrated medical device data.

Main Methods:

Implementation of an Application Programming Interface (API) as a data endpoint for medical devices.
Utilization of a distributed file system for data resilience.
Development of knowledge templates for analyzing and representing medical device data.

Main Results:

BlockIoT facilitates the transfer of previously inaccessible medical device data to EHR systems.
The system provides enhanced insights for healthcare providers, improving decision-making.
Participatory design survey indicates BlockIoT's suitability for clinical practice.

Conclusions:

BlockIoT effectively addresses medical data fragmentation and enhances interoperability.
The system increases efficiency in various healthcare specialties, including cardiology, pulmonology, endocrinology, and primary care.
BlockIoT shows potential to supplement physicians' clinical practice and improve patient care.
