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...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Device Technology
  • Additive Manufacturing

Background:

  • Three-dimensional (3D) printing technology has existed for over 30 years.
  • Stereolithography (SLA) was an early and popular 3D printing method for medical applications, with publications dating back to 1991.
  • Medical applications of 3D printing have seen significant growth and stabilization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the historical development and current status of 3D printing in medical applications.
  • To identify key obstacles and regulatory considerations for the expansion of medical 3D printing.
  • To highlight the collaborative efforts driving the 3D printing industry.

Main Methods:

  • Review of historical publications and technological advancements in 3D printing for medicine.
  • Analysis of current market trends in implantable devices, surgical guides, prosthetics, and anatomical models.
  • Examination of regulatory landscapes and standardization efforts by global bodies.

Main Results:

  • Established medical applications include implantable devices, surgical guides, prosthetics, orthotics, and anatomical models.
  • Significant barriers to market expansion include insurance, medical device authorization, and a lack of specific standards.
  • Regulatory bodies worldwide are publishing technical specifications, but international standards for medical 3D printing remain limited.

Conclusions:

  • Despite challenges, the 3D printing industry for medical applications is expanding, driven by collaborative efforts.
  • Further development of international standards is crucial for the widespread adoption of 3D printing in healthcare.
  • Continued collaboration between academia, industry, research institutions, and regulatory bodies is essential for progress.
