Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

5.6K
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

1.6K
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,...

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...

Ethical Standards I01:25

Ethical Standards I

817
The American Nurses Association (ANA) created and implemented the first nationally accepted Code of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements. The Code of Ethics is a living document regularly updated by the ANA and establishes an ethical standard that is non-negotiable for nurses in all roles and settings.
The Code of Ethics provisions outline the nurse's duty to the patient, the healthcare team, the profession, and society. The Code's fundamental principles include advocacy,...

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...

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Software Engineering
  • Blockchain Technology

Background:

  • Blockchain applications in healthcare are rapidly expanding, offering enhanced safety, privacy, and security for data management.
  • Existing blockchain implementations in healthcare often lack robust processes, tools, and techniques for development and deployment.
  • This highlights a critical need for structured methodologies to support secure and sustainable blockchain solutions in the healthcare sector.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a systematic framework, the Secure and Sustainable Software Engineering Framework for Healthcare Blockchain Applications (S3EF-HBCA).
  • To address the identified deficiencies in processes, tools, and techniques for developing blockchain applications in healthcare.
  • To provide a comprehensive approach encompassing requirements engineering, business process modeling, domain modeling, and a reference architecture.

Main Methods:

  • Developed the S3EF-HBCA, integrating key software engineering phases tailored for healthcare blockchain.
  • Included requirements engineering, business process modeling, and domain modeling specific to healthcare contexts.
  • Validated the framework through a case study on an electronic healthcare record (EHR) management system and simulated its performance using BPMN tools.

Main Results:

  • The S3EF-HBCA provides a structured approach for developing secure and sustainable blockchain applications in healthcare.
  • Simulation results indicated efficient processing of 100 real-time data and service requests in 10.45 minutes.
  • The framework demonstrates encouragement in addressing process, tool, standards, and testing challenges.

Conclusions:

  • The S3EF-HBCA offers a viable solution to enhance the development and deployment of blockchain technology in healthcare.
  • The framework contributes to improving the overall maturity of blockchain applications in the healthcare domain.
  • Further validation and adoption of the S3EF-HBCA are recommended to realize its full potential in securing healthcare data and processes.
