Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

5.7K
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

1.7K
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,...

Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

3.3K
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...

Tertiary Healthcare System01:21

Tertiary Healthcare System

1.8K
Specialized care provided over an extended period is called tertiary care. Usually, a primary or secondary care physician will refer a patient to tertiary care. A patient's maximum physical and mental function is restored in tertiary care, which is caused due to the impact of a chronic illness or condition. Tertiary care aims to achieve the highest level of functioning possible while managing chronic illness. For example, a patient who falls and fractures their hip will need secondary care...

Secondary Healthcare System01:11

Secondary Healthcare System

1.5K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Computer Science
  • Telemedicine
  • Network Engineering

Background:

  • Intelligent telemedicine is advancing rapidly, driven by the Internet of Things (IoT).
  • Edge computing offers a promising solution for enhancing Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) capabilities and reducing energy consumption.
  • A two-layer architecture combining WBAN and Edge-Computing Network (ECN) is proposed for intelligent telemedicine systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To optimize resource allocation and data offloading strategies in edge-computing-assisted intelligent telemedicine systems.
  • To maximize system utility by motivating edge server participation and minimizing system costs.
  • To address time-sensitive data transmission challenges using Age of Information (AoI) in WBAN.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a two-layer network architecture comprising WBAN and ECN.
  • Utilized Age of Information (AoI) to model time costs in TDMA transmission within WBAN.
  • Applied contract theory (CT) for an incentive mechanism to encourage edge server (ES) cooperation.
  • Employed cooperative game theory for slot allocation in WBAN and bilateral matching game for data offloading in ECN.

Main Results:

  • The proposed strategies effectively optimize resource allocation and data offloading.
  • The system utility function was successfully maximized through the incentive mechanism and game-theoretic approaches.
  • Simulation results confirm the enhanced system utility and efficiency of the proposed framework.

Conclusions:

  • The integrated edge-computing framework significantly improves the performance of intelligent telemedicine systems.
  • Game theory and contract theory provide effective solutions for resource management and cooperation in WBAN and ECN.
  • The proposed approach offers a viable strategy for efficient and cost-effective telemedicine service delivery.
