Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

5.5K
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...

Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-centered Care

1.9K
Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

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,...

Preventive Healthcare Services

951
Preventive healthcare services keep people healthy via frequent check-ups, screening, and counseling. They primarily aid in disease prevention rather than treating an acute or chronic illness. Preventive treatment also keeps individuals productive and energetic, allowing them to work well into their retirement years. Examples of preventive care services include:

Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

3.1K
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:

  • Healthcare Technology
  • Digital Health
  • Telemedicine

Background:

  • The COVID-19 pandemic underscored the critical role of virtual care for remote healthcare delivery.
  • Advancements in technology have spurred the growth and adoption of virtual care solutions.
  • Virtual care technologies range in complexity, from simple patient-accessible tools to sophisticated software and hardware systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define virtual care and explore the spectrum of supporting technologies.
  • To introduce a framework for analyzing virtual care based on technology and patient complexity.
  • To demonstrate how this framework can guide the selection of appropriate virtual care interventions.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and conceptual analysis of virtual care technologies.
  • Development of a framework categorizing virtual care by technology and patient complexity.
  • Application of the framework to illustrative examples of virtual care scenarios.

Main Results:

  • Virtual care encompasses a wide array of technologies with varying complexity levels.
  • A framework is proposed to systematically evaluate the suitability of virtual care technologies.
  • The framework facilitates matching technology complexity with patient complexity for optimal outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • An appropriate alignment between technology complexity and patient context is essential for enhancing virtual care.
  • The proposed framework supports the development of "precision virtual care" tailored to individual patient needs.
  • This approach has significant implications for the future design and implementation of effective virtual care strategies.
