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:

Healthcare technology
Otolaryngology
Digital health

Background:

Technological advancements in healthcare can improve patient outcomes and access to care.
Evidence on the effectiveness of these technologies for voice disorders is limited.
A comprehensive scoping review is needed to assess current knowledge.

Purpose of the Study:

To map and describe existing evidence on mobile health (mHealth) technologies.
Focus on early detection, assessment, and treatment of voice disorders.
Identify current applications and gaps in research.

Main Methods:

Conducted a scoping review following the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) framework.
Utilized the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews Checklist (PRISMA-ScR).
Ensured a comprehensive and systematic approach to evidence synthesis.

Main Results:

Included 84 studies, primarily from high-income countries (2016-2025).
Focused on adult populations (67%), smartphones (51%), and telehealth (19%).
mHealth solutions targeted neurological and functional voice disorders, showing feasibility and potential for early detection and monitoring, but often lacked laryngeal imaging (4%).

Conclusions:

mHealth technologies can enhance accessibility, equity, and cost-effectiveness in voice disorder care.
Potential benefits are particularly significant for underserved regions.
Further research is crucial to expand applications, especially incorporating laryngeal imaging, for a preventative and sustainable global model.
