A Study on Secure Wireless Mobile Data Exchange System in Healthcare Using RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification)

/in /by

IoT provides a unified framework for coordinating the use of diverse real-world and digitally- enhanced healthcare assets. Telemedicine is appealing in poor countries because of a lack of access to healthcare services, an aging population with chronic diseases, rising healthcare expenditures, and a need to monitor patients remotely. The Internet of Things can provide individualized health services that enhance people’s quality of life while also reducing the burden on public health infrastructure. Therefore, the purpose of this work is to catalog, compare, and categorize previous research into Healthcare IoT (HIoT) systems. In order to better understand the backdrop, we looked at research articles on RFID-based Secure Wireless mobile data exchange systems in healthcare. There was also discussion of other crucial issues including security and interoperability. At the conclusion of this report, we briefly discuss the main advantages and disadvantages of each study. Lastly, there is a dearth of research into the security and interoperability concerns of IoT design in healthcare. Important outcomes of IoT in healthcare include improved information sharing, shorter hospital stays, and lower overall healthcare expenses. IoT in healthcare faced major obstacles due to concerns over patient privacy and data security.

A Brief Review of Healthcare System Transformation Directions

/in /by

The health care systems globally are undergoing constant changes and redesign processes within the framework of increasing patient expectations and increasingly challenging objectives related to the health of populations, cost reduction and improvement of health care quality. New approaches of healthcare reimbursement and payment are being implemented with the aim to contain costs. In parallel, there are relentless efforts to improve the quality of care through the reorganization of the healthcare team, increasingly relying on evidence, putting the patients at the centre of care, and greater participation of the patients in the process of healthcare. Overcoming the fragmentation of health systems is a major challenge for most countries of the world.  In this light, healthcare system innovation and transformation, in order to meet the expectations of the patients, healthcare professionals and other stakeholders involved is of critical importance. System thinking offers an opportunity for healthcare professionals and experts of health system administration, management and strategic planning to fine-tune the health system so that it can fulfil its aspirations.

Knowledge-Based Performance Management Framework for Small Public Health Facility: A Case Study of Clinic T in City B, Indonesia

/in /by

The healthcare service system in Indonesia is divided into two levels, first-level healthcare services, and advanced-level healthcare services. One of the first-level healthcare services is the small public health facility or clinics. The healthcare system in Indonesia requires patients to seek treatment at a first-level health care system first and prohibits seeking treatment at an advanced-level healthcare system unless emergency or necessary. However, research on the performance management system for clinics is still very minimal. This research is intended to design a performance management framework using Clinic T in City B, Indonesia, as a case study. The flow of research methodology in this study is started with problem identification, continued with framework selection analysis. The selected framework in this study is the Knowledge-Based Performance Management System (KBPMS). Performance framework for Clinic T and the performance indicators are presented, along with the linkage between performance variables and one of the simple ways to show the clinic’s performance for easier evaluation. The proposed framework is expected to be suitable for other clinics in Indonesia and can be used as a foundation for other clinics in designing their own performance management framework.
