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...

Nursing Clinical Information System

Nursing Clinical Information System

Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS)
A Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS) is a specialized type of healthcare information system tailored to meet the unique needs of nursing practice. It incorporates the principles of nursing informatics to streamline information management and improve the quality of care delivery.
Critical attributes of NCIS include:

Patient-centered Care

Patient-centered Care

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...

Integrated Healthcare System

Integrated Healthcare System

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,...

Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-I

Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-I

An interdisciplinary team includes many healthcare professionals working together and utilizing their skills, knowledge, and expertise to provide holistic and quality patient care.
Physicians
The physician's primary responsibility is to diagnose illness and direct the medical or surgical treatment of the condition. The authority to admit patients to a healthcare agency or institution and practice care within that setting is granted to physicians by the healthcare agency or institution...

Area of Science:

Robotics
Artificial Intelligence
Gerontology

Background:

Aging societies face a shortage of human caregivers.
Current care robots lack autonomy and cannot assist bedridden patients with communication disorders.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose the concept of "proactive care" for robots.
To develop a proactive care architecture (PCA) and a proactive care model (PCM).
To enable robots to provide care services to bedridden patients with communication disorders.

Main Methods:

Proposed a proactive care architecture (PCA).
Developed a proactive care model (PCM) for generating care recipient desires.
Verified feasibility and validity through simulations.

Main Results:

The proposed PCA and PCM enable robots to act autonomously.
Robots can determine and execute optimal care programs without commands.
Simulations confirmed the feasibility of PCA and the validity of PCM.

Conclusions:

PCA offers a new approach for robots to care for bedridden patients with communication disorders.
This technology can help alleviate the shortage of human caregivers.
Proactive care robots can improve the quality of life for elderly individuals.
