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.

Current Trends in Nursing II

1.2K
Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

Kaplan-Meier Approach

86
The Kaplan-Meier estimator is a non-parametric method used to estimate the survival function from time-to-event data. In medical research, it is frequently employed to measure the proportion of patients surviving for a certain period after treatment. This estimator is fundamental in analyzing time-to-event data, making it indispensable in clinical trials, epidemiological studies, and reliability engineering. By estimating survival probabilities, researchers can evaluate treatment effectiveness,...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology and Machine Learning
  • Behavioral Health Care Technology
  • Telehealth Innovations

Background:

  • Patient engagement is crucial in behavioral health but challenging in telehealth due to limited nonverbal cues.
  • Existing training for telehealth patient engagement is scarce, necessitating new methods for assessment.
  • Machine learning offers a potential solution for estimating patient engagement during virtual therapy sessions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate machine learning models' ability to estimate patient engagement levels in tele-mental health.
  • To determine if machine learning can support and enhance therapeutic engagement between clients and psychotherapists.
  • To introduce a novel dataset for advancing telehealth engagement detection research.

Main Methods:

  • A multimodal learning approach was developed, utilizing latent vectors for affective and cognitive engagement features.
  • A semisupervised learning solution was explored due to labeled data constraints in healthcare.
  • The Multimodal Engagement Detection in Clinical Analysis (MEDICA) dataset, comprising 1229 video clips, was created and used for experiments.

Main Results:

  • The proposed algorithm achieved a 40% improvement in root mean square error for engagement estimation compared to state-of-the-art methods.
  • Real-world tests showed positive correlations between the model's engagement estimates and psychotherapists' Working Alliance Inventory scores.
  • The findings suggest the model's potential to provide patient engagement estimations that align with clinical assessments.

Conclusions:

  • Machine learning can accurately and reliably estimate patient engagement in telehealth, supporting therapeutic alliance.
  • The developed algorithm integrates psychological theories with machine learning for enhanced telehealth patient engagement assessment.
  • The creation of the MEDICA dataset and the proposed method open new research avenues for telehealth tools.
