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...

Area of Science:

Medical Technology
Health Informatics

Background:

3D printing is rapidly advancing in medicine, necessitating robust documentation systems.
Existing systems may not adequately support diverse hospital roles like quality managers and data-privacy officers.
Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software offers potential for managing 3D printing data.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a customizable software solution, 3Diamond, for managing medical 3D printing documentation.
To ensure accessibility and comprehensive data traceability for all relevant hospital personnel.

Main Methods:

Software development followed a structured process: specification, design, implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance.
End-user requirements were central to setting software specifications.
Automated software testing was integrated with each release.

Main Results:

The 3Diamond software offers immediate and complete traceability of all 3D printing preparations and controls.
It facilitates management of reports, orders, stock, and post-operative follow-up.
The software was successfully implemented in a clinical setting within a 3D printing center.

Conclusions:

3D printing in medicine requires adherence to regulations, even for patient-specific products.
3Diamond provides a robust, accessible documentation system to meet these regulatory and operational needs.
The software supports various hospital personnel, enhancing the safe and efficient use of medical 3D printing.
