In this paper, we employ an agent-based simulation as a tool to estimate the influence of hospital closure to other hospitals in the neighborhood. In Japan, some hospitals managed by local governments face financial difficulties because of the change of medical fees, and the increase in the number of patients due to aged society. Although municipal hospitals greatly contributed to maintain Japanese...
As public goods, hospital materials lack internal cost pressure and external efficiency motive, so there are many problems in the supply system of hospital materials - the sluggish prediction of medical material demand as well as the patient-oriented response plan, ineffective information communication and coordination between supply and demand of materials, inadequate standardization of management...
Analysis of the composition of medical care service encounter quality, in order to find out specific measures. Effective scale is designed by using the interview questionnaires. Questionnaires were designed for investigation in outpatient clients of public hospital within Anhui. Finally the results are testified by reliability testing, validity testing and regression analysis from using the SPSS16...
This paper describes a medical IT platform based on Wireless Sensor Networks and e-textile which supports indoor location-aware services as well as monitoring physiological parameters, such as ECG, heart rate, body temperature, etc., from a group of patients within hospital facilities. The paper presents the architecture, system deployment and validation results based on local test as well as on a...
In this paper indoor wireless Infrared (IR) technology for healthcare monitoring is studied. Monitoring provides a continuous and reliable vital sign measurement to secure patient staying in the hospital. Considering that patient moving is inevitable, we focus on a mobile IR channel based on diffuse propagation. A model of mobile channel is developed through the study of statistical distributions...
Healthcare services are becoming vital and growing immensely with the passage of time, and so is the use of information technology in every aspect of life. Information and communication technologies are essential parts of any healthcare or life critical solution available in this era - the era of information technology. Quality is one of the major issues that are currently being faced. For healthcare...
The objective of the research is to review the underlying principles based on performance in the health care sector. Performance indicators such as efficiency, acceptability, equity and quality are some of the measures considered. The research demonstrates the use of emerging technology (e.g., RFID - Radio Frequency Identification) to reduce health care costs and also facilitate the automating and...
ReMINE is a novel framework architecture for the management of risk against patient safety (RAPS) in health care systems. ReMINE allows for the collection and analysis of RAPS-related data through a semantic approach which offers a fast and secure extraction of data and correlation of the information across several domains. In this respect, the ReMINE platform will promote an early RAPS detection...
Hospitals must implement information systems that can quantify every aspect of disease management, can track and preserve patient outcomes data, can capture information across multiple business segments, and can even provide predictive modeling formulas (Grazier, 1998). The need for technology investment in hospitals is clear. Technology is the key component of efforts to meet new standards and to...
The discipline pertaining to the structured, integrated design and updating of Healthcare platforms, for example hospitals and their contained and interconnecting systems, is no different from the design and updating of military platforms, for example airfields, and their contained and interconnecting systems, and indeed, platforms and systems in the oil industry. Further, in terms of updates and...
