Intrahospital transfers are a common but hazardous aspect of hospital care, with a large number of incidents posing a threat to patient safety. A growing body of work advocates the use of checklists for minimizing intrahospital transfer risk, but the majority of existing checklists are not guaranteed to be error-free and are difficult to adapt to different clinical settings or changing hospital policies...
Risk assessment system to reduce the risk of personnel to staff were not aware that their work can also be a risk prevention and behavior change work habits to avoid the risk of working in the hospital. personnel Able to work properly so that the workplace / department that is likely threats in question would pose a danger not much to consider to take any action to solve the problem Such as radiation,...
The advancement in usage of information and communication technology has changed the operational activities of most organization in recent times. The grown in usage has contributed to the growth in the data that organizations have access to. In the past decade, the growth of these data has further given rise to research and development into computer storage devices and infrastructure. In addition...
Recently there has been an evidential growth in E-healthcare services. Every hospital has a variety of similar or dissimilar healthcare services. Selecting the best healthcare service is influenced by many preferences such as doctor's experience, location, feedback on continuity of care, waiting time, cost, hospital facilities, etc. Among the preferences, feedback is more influential. Participant's...
A small number of drugs that have teratogenic effects would be fatal and should not be given to a pregnant woman, so be required a software that can provide information with warning systems to reduce medication administration errors in pregnant women.
With the analysis on hospital medical devices management operation, find the medical devices management style of many hospitals are still on the manual side, in lending, returning, warehousing and it bring many problems such as heavy workload, low efficiency, lack of intelligence. Combined with the technology of radio frequency identification (RFID) can rapid, high-volume, non-contact read the tag...
Information processing in health care demands reliable, relevant, systematic, integrated, and managed data throughout care delivery. This leads, even with IT, to increased and time-consuming activities and can cause potentially dangerous situations for the patient as important data may not be available when needed, which in turn can lead to wrong diagnostic or therapeutic decisions. Consequently,...
This article investigates the corresponding relation of the patients who come to receive treatment at a hospital in Thailand. We applied Process Mining process discovery techniques in order to scrutinize and analyze the data which was previously collected in Microsoft Excel format, and later it was converted into a.csv extension file using the ProM 5.2 and the Disco Fluxicon. The main rationale for...
Although electronic medical record (EMR) has already applied in many countries, the global adoption rate of EMR still low. Many previous studies found that the main obstacle of EMR systems adoption is the challenges associated with the user. Medical personnel are the main users in EMR system, so medical personnel have a very important role in determining the success rate of EMR system adoption. Acceptance...
Objective: To understand the research hotspots of psychological nursing by PubMed. Methods: With MS Excel, SPSS, Cytoscape software, we took MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) word frequency analysis, clustering analysis, co-word network graph of PubMed papers. Results: By MeSH of 15410 papers analyzed, it shows that the current psychological nursing research hotspots had focused on "Attitude of...
Recent progress in technologies of the Internet of Things (IoT) enables advanced scenarios for mobile healthcare (m-Health). In this paper, we consider the service intelligence in m-Health (so called smart services). On the one hand, such a service utilizes the telemedicine approach when existing healthcare services (located in hospital) are delivered to remote patients (out of hospital). On the other...
Medication errors significantly impact patient health and quality of care. In this study, systems modeling and simulation are used to analyze the medication workflow in a pediatric setting. The resulting simulation system allows for derivation and validation of effective intervention strategies for error mitigation. The analysis focused on ‘High Alert’ medications, which are more likely to produce...
Efficient and effective communication processes are critical for patient health and safety. Communication processes for patient admission within the UVa Surgical and Trauma Intensive Care Unit (SICU) vary depending on situational factors. Trauma personnel in the SICU are also involved in patient admission to the Operating Room (OR). In order to better understand communication patterns and identify...
Training actors from public safety agencies (PSA), e.g. emergency medical services, fire departments, police departments involves different technologies and communication and collaboration activities. New technologies promise better support, not only for training, but also for logging relevant information for future analysis and learning. However, choosing the right technologies, defining proper set-ups...
Benchmarking is a powerful tool to provide organizations performance. Since the past several years German hospitals are facing several reforms to lower their costs and raise their performance; especially logistics services e.g. patient transport or catering logistics are appropriate and necessary to improve. The German research project BELOUGA develops a new Benchmarking approach for logistics services...
In this work, we describe an integrated system, developed for use by the healthcare personnel within healthcare facilities, adapted to smartphones, tablets and handheld devices. Our key goal is to facilitate doctors, nurses and the involved personnel throughout the facility, regardless of the existence of network connection in the area using a typical smartphone. The proposed application and its backend...
Mobile opportunistic network provides a platform for information dissemination and content search, especially in a disaster management scenario, when there is no end-to-end reliable connection or the entire infrastructure based network is severed. In this paper we propose an architecture for content search in mobile opportunistic network, based on information gradient and query forward with the aim...
This paper presents a second look at the computation of the Medical Technology Score (MTS), a metric designed to convey the relative technical competence of a health facility. Modification of the score to reflect local disease burden is discussed, as are its intended interpretations. Extensive data collection on up-to-date equipment and personnel resources must be undertaken before the MTS can become...
The healthcare sector in general and hospitals in particular are often portrayed as lagging behind in terms of organizational efficiency. Management is facing the challenge to introduce economic principles to guide the care giving processes of their organization. Yet, the internal structures of hospitals seldom follow exclusively an economic rationale. Patient care and quality of treatments are core...
In recent years, the rapid development of trade and traffic in our country has resulted in the increasing occurrence of various types of disasters and emergency injuries. According to the statistics from Fire Departments of Taiwan, medical emergency dispatch frequencies have exceeded 300,000, and the frequency of medical emergency dispatches has increased each year. These figures reflect the phenomenon...
