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.

Health literacy is an individual's or a community's capacity to comprehend, receive, read, and use relevant healthcare information and services. The World Health Organization (WHO, 2018) defines health literacy as the cognitive and social skills that determine the ability of individuals to gain access to, understand, and use information in ways that promote and maintain good health. As a result, the WHO helps individuals manage long-term health concerns, participate in preventative...

Health is a condition of the body, mind, and spirit where an individual remains free from illness. Similarly, wellness is an active state, including living a lifestyle that promotes physical, mental, and emotional health. Physical health is critical for the overall well-being and can be affected by lifestyle, activity level, diet, and behavior. The highest attainable standard of health is a fundamental and universal human right. Consider Lisa, a fifteen-year-old born with congenital...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Health Informatics
  • Technology Adoption

Background:

  • Blockchain technology has potential in public health but adoption is limited.
  • Secure, accessible databases are crucial for population health issues like outbreak surveillance and emergency drug tracking.
  • The healthcare industry's slow adaptation to change contrasts with blockchain's suitability for healthcare challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the adoption of blockchain technology in population health.
  • To extend the Iansiti and Lakhani 2D framework (difficulty, novelty) with a third dimension: necessity.
  • To better predict technology adoption by incorporating the necessity factor.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a 3D framework (difficulty, novelty, necessity) to analyze blockchain adoption in population health.
  • Extended the 2D framework by Iansiti and Lakhani (Harvard Business Review).
  • Examined how different population health areas fit within this enhanced evaluation framework.

Main Results:

  • The inclusion of 'necessity' as a dimension improves the prediction of technology adoption.
  • Necessity can effectively reduce barriers to implementing novel technologies in population health.
  • Demonstrated how specific population health domains align with the 3D framework.

Conclusions:

  • The extended Iansiti and Lakhani framework provides a robust method for evaluating technology adoption in population health.
  • Blockchain technology shows significant promise for improving population health outcomes.
  • Blockchain applications are poised to enhance public health surveillance and management beyond the COVID-19 pandemic.
