Abstract:

To assist the performance of medical technicians in nursing patients effectively and efficiently, information technology appears as a dominant support. Utilizing information technology, patient’s diagnoses can be reported to a doctor as soon as possible, as well as the patient's condition which needs to be monitored regularly. It is necessary to build a monitoring information system of hospital that is able to present timely information regarding the patient's condition characterized by four vital signs which are temperature, blood pressure, pulse, and respiration. For the four vital signs monitoring, fuzzy logic concept is implemented. If vital signs approach 1, the patient is close to recovery. Conversely, if the signs are 0, the patient still needs medical treatment. This system also helps nurses in order to provide answers to the families of patients who want to know the development of the patient's condition, as well as the recovery based on the average percentage of Fuzzy max of four vital signs. By Fuzzy-based monitoring system, monitoring the patient's condition becomes simpler and easier.

Abstract:

When it comes to getting ideas for improvement, no vantage point in health care is better than the horizontal position.1 THERE ARE FEW INDUSTRY SECTORS more in need of better solutions to information sharing and knowledge management than health care. The issues surrounding information management in the health care sector are pressing and complex. This paper explores my subjective experience of information sharing as a patient within a medium-sized Australian public hospital and illustrates the potential impact on safety and quality. I am a health services researcher. My case was not urgent or complex, I am not disadvantaged or seriously ill, and the hospital?s waiting list for the procedure was short. The outcome of the surgery was good and my satisfaction high. The case is, however, extremely pertinent to the current debate around information sharing in health care.

Abstract:

In telemedicine, an insecure and vulnerability medicine information system is important for nursing staff and patients. Relatively private information stolen by others still can be corrected. However, if attacked by hackers, mistakes in diagnosis can threaten the patient's life. In order to simplify the procedures in the authentication of telemedicine and to emphasize security in the patient's data, this paper proposes utilizing the symmetric key cryptography and the biometric authentication. We use a face eigenvector to insert the patient's physiological signals and to combine symmetric key cryptography thus protecting the integrity of the patient's data and improving the mode of operations.

Abstract:

Mobile Cloud Computing is a network of technology that is up-to-date and helps to store data in a reliable way.in a time when the whole world is obsessed with cloud technology and that is why we want to focus on it, whether in business, medicine and education all cloud technology is needed. In modern times technology is to store our data in cloud technology .in the developed world they are now interested in storing their informations in cloud technology which is why we also thought of using it such as a laptop. A large number of informations are collected, stored, processed and returned to the Electronic Medical Record System (EMR).all patients record need to be stored in a reliable manner so that whenever the patient needs them he or she can easily access them, even if he or she is a doctor when he or she needs access to all the informations that the patient can easily access for example like x-ray images where needed, disease reports and more. The availability of patients as long as they visit the hospital thus enhances the quality of care. cloud technology.it is a reliable method that can be used in medicine where the patient's information is stored in a safe place and reduces the storage space on the computer and the patient's information is kept safe and secure.

Abstract:

Abstract Context.—Recent discussions of health care privacy have prompted new concerns over the control of private health information after a patient's death. The importance of confidentiality protections postmortem is compounded as genetic technologies and research capabilities advance and public interest in this information increases. Objective.—The Council on Ethical and Judicial Affairs of the American Medical Association developed this report to guide physicians in the management of patients' health information postmortem. Participants.—This report was developed by the 9 physician members of the Council on Ethical and Judicial Affairs with the assistance of staff from the Ethics Standards Group at the American Medical Association. Evidence.—Literature searches in the MEDLINE and BIOETHICSLINE databases using the search terms postmortem and health information qualified with confidentiality or privacy yielded a combined total of 129 references. Additional references were culled from policies of a number of health care organizations. Consensus Process.—The Council on Ethical and Judicial Affairs solicited suggestions from the federation of state medical and specialty societies before drafting this report. A copy of the report was sent to the College of American Pathologists for comment. It was then adopted by a majority vote of the House of Delegates of the American Medical Association. Conclusions.—The report emphasizes the importance of maintaining confidentiality for information held within a deceased patient's medical record. However, these protections are subject to certain exceptions. Confidentiality can be upheld when such information is used for educational or research purposes by removing individual identifiers. For disclosures in which the identity of the deceased patient is known, a number of considerations are provided to assess when disclosure would be ethically permissible.

Abstract:

Intensive care unit (ICU) is in principle not designed to accept the presence of a patient's visitor or family for a long time. One of the effects that arises is an increase in the patient's family anxiety. In general, nurses do not consider the patient's family as part of his holistic care. So, it takes the role of nurses to identify the patient's family needs, in order to realize holistic care. This review aims to identify the family needs of patients treated in the intensive care unit. Literature is obtained from the Ebsco database, ProQuest and Science Direct, using keywords: family needs, nursing strategy and intensive care unit. From 7 literature sources obtained about what is needed by the patient's family. This review produced 5 themes, namely family needs for information, closeness, support, involvement, and knowing the care received by patients. This review only focuses on the patient's family needs in general. The family is part of the patient. Identified family needs, namely information needs, closeness, support, involvement and knowledge of care received by patients. The participation of health workers is needed in identifying and encouraging the fulfillment of family needs. Keyword: family needs, nursing strategies, intensive care unit

Abstract:

Objective To evaluate the validity of a standard information package, comprising written and audiovisual aids, for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients in a pre-dialysis program. Study Design A multicenter study comprising patients entering a predialysis program. Three questionnaires were developed to gather data in this study: (1) a pre-information package questionnaire that evaluates the patient's initial knowledge of ESRD and the treatment options available (pre-informed patients); (2) a post-information package questionnaire that evaluates the patient's knowledge of ESRD and treatment options after being informed according to the protocol (post-informed patients); (3) a “start of the treatment” questionnaire that deals with the patient's choice of treatment at the time of starting dialysis, as well as the reasons leading to that choice. In all three questionnaires the patient's age, gender, level of creatinine clearance (Ccr), and hematocrit were recorded. Inclusion Criteria Any patient who was on a predialysis program in the participating centers. Results Three hundred and four patients were evaluated across 14 participating centers. Initial knowledge was assessed in 216 pre-informed patients (questionnaire 1). Patients were then guided through the information package. One hundred and fifty-eight patients answered the post-information package (questionnaire 2). During the course of the study, 174 patients (of the initial 304) started renal replacement therapy. Of these, 49.4% (86 patients) had received predialysis information according to our study protocol. All the patients who received the information throughout the trial improved their knowledge of ESRD and treatment options; this improvement was statistically significant. Conclusions The treatment options least well known at the start of the study were the peritoneal dialysis techniques. After receiving the information package, patients had an equal knowledge of all the different treatments, although hemodialysis was still the most familiar. This improvement in knowledge enabled patients who started a dialysis treatment to choose a therapy according to their own preferences. Their selections were as follows: 44% of the patients chose hemodialysis, 40% chose continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis, and 16% chose automated peritoneal dialysis. The standard information package, used as a patient education program, effectively resulted in patients having a significantly improved level of knowledge and understanding of ESRD and the different treatment options available.

Abstract:

Objective To describe physician perceptions of the potential goals, characteristics, and content of the electronic problem list (PL) in pediatric trauma. Methods We conducted 12 semistructured interviews with physicians involved in the pediatric trauma care process, including residents, fellows, and attendings from four services: emergency medicine, surgery, anesthesia, and pediatric critical care. Using qualitative content analysis, we identified PL goals, characteristics, and patient-related information from these interviews and the hospital's PL etiquette document of guideline. Results We identified five goals of the PL (to document the patient's problems, to make sense of the patient's problems, to make decisions about the care plan, to know who is involved in the patient's care, and to communicate with others), seven characteristics of the PL (completeness, efficiency, accessibility, multiple users, organized, created before arrival, and representing uncertainty), and 22 patient-related information elements (e.g., injuries, vitals). Physicians' suggested criteria for a PL varied across services with respect to goals, characteristics, and patient-related information. Conclusion Physicians involved in pediatric trauma care described the electronic PL as ideally more than a list of a patient's medical diagnoses and injuries. The information elements mentioned are typically found in other parts of the patient's electronic record besides the PL, such as past medical history and labs. Future work is needed to evaluate the optimal design of the PL so that users with emergent cases, such as pediatric trauma, have access to key information related to the patient's immediate problems.

Abstract:

Understanding the patient's and companion's perception of the patient's illness can improve the patient's compliance and overall satisfaction. Patients' understanding of their illness is essential for recovery. Doctors should understand the perceptions and interpretations about the illness, experience, knowledge and culture of patients and their companions. The disease is what happens to the patient. Arthur Kleinman's Explanatory Model of Illness provides a guide for understanding the patient's point of view. The purpose of this study was to explore the meaning of stroke experienced by patients, according to the point of view of the patient and his companion, and the treatment they had, second, to explore how the patient and the companion convey the condition to the doctor. The method uses a phenomenological approach through interviews, observations, and secondary patient data. There are two primary informants, namely two patients and two companions. This study's results indicate a gap regarding the meaning of the disease between the patient's conception and the health sciences. Patients' and their companion's perceptions denote the economic, social, and political background in terms of the patient's illness. The information that patient and companion convey to doctors, usually do not whole information about what they have done during the journey of treatment. Models for interaction that are mainly developed are between doctor and patient. For effective communication between doctor and companion to help the patient better, there is an important model for consultation that includes triadic communication: doctor-patient-companion which can be advantageous. Important also for the doctor to upgrade the knowledge about understanding not only biomedical information but also the socio, psycho, cultural, and religion of the patient.

IntroductionInternet is the fastest growing medium and more than 50 million people seek health information online1. Almost a third of internet users with history of psychiatric disorder had used the internet to seek mental health information2.MethodA survey was conducted amongst North Wales, UK mental health professionals to understand their knowledge, attitude and practice about this topic. A total of 100 questionnaires were distributed out of which 71 responses were received.ResultAbout 39% mental health professionals believed that consultation is the best way to give mental health related information to the patients. Only 5% of mental health professionals always and 46% sometimes advised patients to look at internet for mental health related information. About 50% felt that internet will increase patient's understanding of their illness and 37% felt that it will improve their compliance. Sixty percent people felt that mental health information on internet is evidence-based. About 30% of the mental health professionals thought that the use of internet by mental health patients will increase the patient's anxiety and will increase their visit to the doctor. Majority did not have enough knowledge of websites to suggest to the patients.ConclusionMost professionals thought that it is a useful concept but further awareness about evidence-based website for professionals is needed.

Abstract:

Because of the potential severity of the associated complications, nurses have an essential role in the care of patients with HAT. Bedside nurses have the opportunity to report information that may indicate a change in a patient's condition after administration of heparin. This information could lead to diagnosis of heparin sensitivity and prompt treatment to decrease the associated thrombotic complications. Once HAT is diagnosed, a variety of resources are available as the patient's condition evolves. Primary concerns include determining effective strategies to provide appropriate skin care, educating the patient and the patient's family members, and providing effective continuity of care. Continuity of care is essential to maintain the patient's physical and emotional status and should be provided by a multidisciplinary team that includes physical and occupational therapists, skin care specialists, and clinical nurse specialists. Future topics for nursing research on HAT include the education of nurses, patients, and families about HAT; the most effective nursing interventions; and appropriate treatment for ischemic extremities. By knowing how to respond safely and effectively to a patient's sensitivity to heparin, critical care nurses can have a beneficial impact on the patient's care.

Abstract:

17031 Background: Management of treatment related side effects remains a challenge despite availability of effective therapies and management guidelines. The main reasons include ineffective assessment of the patient's experience, inability to access prevention and management guidelines in a timely manner, poor documentation and inefficient communication within the patient's care team. We postulate treatment related side effects could be more effectively managed using software designed to assist assessment and improve communication of the patient's experience. Methods: Software specifications included internet-based wireless capability, linking to existing electronic databases and facilitated data entry (drop down menus, check boxes, pop up windows, etc.). Oncology literature was reviewed to identify appropriate symptom assessment questionnaires, prevention and treatment strategies. The National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v.3.0 was adapted. An iterative process was used for software development; content and functionality was discussed with programmers on an ongoing basis. This process is aimed at providing software that more completely meets the needs of users. Feedback from oncology pharmacists was sought regularly. Results: OSCIR has been developed to facilitate the assessment and management of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, mucositis, and palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia. Each side effect module includes onset and resolution, signs and symptoms, automated grading, non- and pharmacological management. Program features include downloading of electronic demographic information, chemotherapy regimen, laboratory results, call back roster, and communication tools. Conclusions: Using the iterative process we have created a program that addresses the needs of pharmacists involved in the assessment and management of treatment-related side effects. Further development will incorporate feedback from other members of the patient's care team and will include additional side effects and features. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract:

Abstract The functionality concept is very important, as the diagnosis of dementia presupposes the existence of functional impairment. Instruments assessing functional performance present some limitations. In most cases, the assessment is based on the caregiver's report. Some studies in international literature have evaluated this issue and concluded that a difference exists between the caregiver's report and direct patient assessment. American and European caregivers tend to underestimate the patient's functional limitations. However, this issue has hitherto not been investigated in our context. Objective: To compare the caregiver's information with direct assessment of the patient's performance based on the same functional assessment questionnaire. Methods: Seventy-two patients and caregivers were attended by the Occupational Therapy service of the Behavioral Neurology Outpatient Clinic between 1999 and 2001, 25 of whom fulfilled the inclusion criteria: having a confirmed diagnosis of dementia according to the DSM-IV; having attended three or more return appointments, and where the caregiver belonged to the patient's family nucleus. The remaining subjects were excluded because of non-adherence to treatment or refusal to participate in the study. The Functional Activities Questionnaire by Pfeffer et al., 1982 was applied to patients in a laboratory simulation, while another evaluator interviewed the respective caregivers. The data were analyzed based on the weighted Kappa coefficient, and Wilcoxon test. Results: There were significative differences between caregiver's answers and direct observation of the patient's performance. The information provided by the caregivers proved unreliable since caregivers underestimated the patient's functional capacity.

Recall of information pertaining to informed consent for epidural insertion in 40 primiparous labouring women was assessed. The recall of informed consent was compared between those patients who had attended antenatal epidural education classes, and those who had not. Overall recall of information was poor. Recall of information was significantly better in patients who had attended antenatal epidural education classes. We recommend that informed consent for epidural analgesia in labour be obtained antenatally whenever possible, and that details of the consent be recorded in the patient's notes.

A great deal of work has been finished to get remote clinical sensor networks. We propose a useful way to deal with forestall within assault by utilizing various information servers to store patient information. The fundamental commitment of this task is safely conveying the patient information in various information servers and utilizing the cryptosystems to perform measurement examination on the patient information without compromising the patient's protection. The current arrangements can safeguard the patient information during transmission, yet can't stop within assault where the overseer of the patient data set uncovers the touchy patient information. In this paper, we propose a pragmatic way to deal with forestall within assault by utilizing numerous information servers to store patient information. The fundamental commitment of this paper is safely appropriating the patient information in numerous information servers and utilizing the Block chain and Block affix cryptosystems to perform measurement examination on the patient information without compromising the patient's protection.

Abstract:

Electronic medical records (EMRs) are one of the ways to help doctors effectively manage and analyze patient medical records. These EMRs can not only help doctors save a lot of time in analyzing medical records, but also reduce the hospital's demand for doctors and reduce the hospital's expenditure cost. Therefore, we propose a novel information extraction model integrating multi-granularity global information to efficiently extract information about a patient's physical condition in a doctor-patient dialogue. Experimental results show that our model achieves better results compared to the baseline model, indicating the effectiveness of the model.

Abstract:

This article examines a recent decision of the English Court of Appeal. It concerned a psychiatrist who examined and reported on a convicted murderer in a secure hospital. The report was commissioned by the patient's solicitors as evidence in support of his release. The report was emphatically unfavourable and the doctor insisted that it be revealed to the hospital authorities. The solicitors refused and litigation ensued. The courts were forced to rule on the conflict between the patient's right to privacy and the public interest in revealing the report.

Abstract:

Almost all the human living in Earth forgets to take care of their health. To say specifically, the elder ones and the younger ones need con-tinuous examination to note down the variation in their health issues (either improvement or a decrement). This can be achieved through the digitalization of the data. In the present day scenario information security and privacy in healthcare systems is an issue that is growing at alarming rate. The espousal of digital records of the patient, the enlarged order, provider integration and the growing need to exchange in-formation between patients, providers and payers each targets at the necessity for a developed information system. Inspite of so many measures taken to prevent the theft of patient's healthcare records offenders find some loophole or the other to get the records. This article strives to list certain health issues faced by a majority of people, threats to HIS, the method adopted to store huge amount of data and measures to prevent security threats.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTThere are at present two inconsistencies with respect to the sharing of personal health information (PHI) among health care professionals caring for a patient whom the information concerns. First, there is an inconsistency between what is in theory the ethics and law governing the confidentiality and privacy of this information—it may only be disclosed with informed consent—and what is the actual practice of health care professionals—they share it without such consent. Second, there is an inconsistency between what ethics and law demand in theory and what all parties want: They all approve of the current practice. Ethics and law can be brought into line with what is needed to act in the patient's best interests and with what people want, without opening up any serious potential for abuse of privacy and confidentiality, by establishing a safeguarded, provision-of-care exception that allows co-caring health care professionals to share patients' PHI. The requirements for a system establishing such safeguards are proposed. The basic governing presumption is respect for the person and for rights to autonomy, self-determination, privacy, and confidentiality. Therefore, disclosure may only be made with the informed consent of the competent person to whom the information pertains, unless a defence of necessity applies. Where there is doubt about someone's competence, there should likewise be doubt about disclosure without that person's informed consent. Where the person is incompetent, such a disclosure can be made to the patient's substitute decision makers, most often the family, if that is necessary for the care of the patient and in the patient's best interests. To the extent possible, consistent with the best interests of the patient, the wishes of incompetent people should be respected.

Abstract:

The impact of patient information leaflets (PILs) was measured in an outpatient department of a large tertiary care public health facility in India. Patients were allocated to control (114) or intervention group (118). Patients in the intervention group received PILs. The primary indicators [mean±standard deviation (SD)] improved significantly in the intervention group compared with the control group (15.7±7.3 versus 12.2±5.4). A three-fold ( P<0.01) increase in the awareness of the supplementary scores was observed in the intervention group (9.5±5.2 versus 3.3±2.7) compared with the control group (3.5±2.8 versus 3.5±2.8). Confounding variables, viz. age, sex, literacy level, did not influence the patients' knowledge. When the number of drugs prescribed increased, the patient's knowledge decreased significantly ( P<0.0001). PILs provided to the patients by the pharmacist significantly improved knowledge about medication, and improved compliance at home.

Abstract:

Objective: Several studies have concluded that family members in palliative home care want information about the patient's disease. The aim of this study was to describe family members' perceptions of their motivation for receiving information about the patient's disease.Method:Semistructured tape-recorded interviews were performed with 20 family members of patients with incurable progressive cancer who were admitted to hospital-based home care in Sweden. Data were analyzed using a qualitative phenomenographic method.Results:Family members justified their informational needs by emphasizing that they needed to understand and confirm what would happen when the disease progressed, to be mentally prepared for the future, to organize their daily life, to be a source of information to others, and that receiving information was a natural right.Significance of results:This study has revealed some explanations as to why family members want information. In clinical practice, it is important that palliative care team members are aware of family members' level of knowledge and their need for information, as this mental preparation is important.

Abstract:

Aim. To propose the development of a new form of informed voluntary consent, taking into account the legal regulation of medical secrecy. Methods. When performing the study, analytical method was used. The analysis of the mechanism of obtaining information about the patient was performed, including the study of a number of laws governing the transfer of information to the third parties without the patient's consent. Results. It was found that the patient's relatives can not be provided with information about the course of the disease and its treatment, unless the patient has previously signed a voluntary consent to transfer the information. The basis for such refusal is Article 13 of Federal Law No. 323-FZ issued on November 21, 2011 (as amended on July 29, 2017) «On the Fundamentals of Health protection of Citizens in the Russian Federation», which establishes the conditions under which information about patient's health can be transferred. This article examines the problem of violation in the field of disclosure of medical secrets, as well as the rights of patient's close relatives to obtain information about his or her state of health. The need to refine the mechanisms of obtaining information, which is a medical secret, is revealed and justified. Conclusion. Based on the review of laws regulating the procedure of information transfer, the authors propose the development of a new form of consent for disclosure of the patient's information about his state of health, which must necessarily be provided to the patient when contacting a medical organization, which in the future will significantly simplify the legal doctor-patient relationships.

Abstract:

Purpose Awareness of the cancer patient's terminal state decreases the risk of psychological morbidity of the bereaved. We wanted to determine whether male spouses of cancer patients who died from their disease had received information that the illness was incurable and to determine their preferences of disclosure. Participants and Methods The study included 907 widowers whose wives had died of cancer. In an anonymous questionnaire, we asked whether the widower had received information that his wife's illness was incurable and about his attitudes towards receiving this information. Results Six hundred ninety-one widowers (76%) participated. Eighty percent of the widowers reported that they were told that the wife's cancer was incurable, and 21% reported that they had been informed within 1 week before the patient's death. Although 14% of the widowers did not think the next of kin should be told immediately when the patient's cancer is beyond cure, 39% of the men did not want the patient to be immediately informed. Furthermore, 71% of the men who were never informed about the incurable illness believed that the next of kin should receive that information immediately. Conclusion Although a large majority of men prefer an immediate disclosure about the incurable stage of their wife's illness, 41% of the husbands received this information during the last week of the patient's life or not at all. These findings indicate that there is room for improvement in the level of communication between health providers and the husbands of women with incurable cancer.

Abstract:

<span>The fingerprint is <span>certainly one of the distinguishing features of the human body that is easily available and identifies one individual from another. The fingerprint sensor increases this distinctiveness, which is a device that can automatically classify or identify a person. The fingerprint based medical system is a more efficient means of storing clinical data for patients. It makes take advantage of fingerprint recognition technology to quickly and easily for determine the patient's past medical history. The system consists of an Arduino UNO board, a fingerprint sensor, an secure digital (SD) card module, and a micro-SD card. The suggested technology allows the use of a micro-SD card to store patient information as well as send it by internet. When this system was compared to the manual technique, the results indicate that the main advantage is that the proposed device saves a significant amount of time that manual searching and enrolling requires. Patients' information is simply collected and managed with this system, which has enhanced dependability, durability, and efficiency. It provides improved speed and performance, as well as better data security because the data is stored within the device.</span></span>

Abstract:

PURPOSE This study was developed to determine whether descriptive information from a patient-completed questionnaire could provide prognostic information that was independent from that already obtained by the patient's physician. PATIENTS AND METHODS An initial detailed questionnaire was administered to approximately 150 patients with advanced cancer. This questionnaire was subsequently revised and given to a total of 1,115 patients with advanced colorectal or lung cancer. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to evaluate the data from these questionnaires. RESULTS A total of 36 variables showed statistically significant prognostic information for survival in univariate analyses, even though many of these variables were associated with only a minimal increase in risk. A multivariate analysis demonstrated that there was a high correlation between many variables. Three major groups of variables became apparent as providing strong prognostic information. These included the following: (1) a physician's assessment of performance status (PS); (2) a patient's assessment of their own PS; and (3) a nutritional factor such as appetite, caloric intake, or overall food intake. CONCLUSION Data generated by a patient-completed questionnaire can provide important prognostic information independent from that obtained by other physician-determined prognostic factors.

Abstract:

Hand action recognition in rehabilitation exercises is to automatically recognize what exercises the patient has done. This is an important step in an AI system to assist doctors to handle, monitor and assess the patient’s rehabilitation. The expected system uses videos obtained from the patient's body-worn camera to recognize hand action automatically. In this paper, we propose a model to recognize the patient's hand action in rehabilitation exercises, which is a combination of the results of a deep learning network recognizing actions on Video RGB, R(2+1)D, and a main interactive object in the exercises detection algorithm. The proposed model is implemented, trained, and tested on a dataset of rehabilitation exercises collected from wearable cameras of patients. The experimental results show that the accuracy in exercise recognition is practicable, averaging 88.43% on the test data independent of the training data. The action recognition results of the proposed method outperform the results of a single R(2+1)D network. Furthermore, the better results show the reduced rate of confusion between exercises with similar hand gestures. They also prove that the combination of interactive object information and the action recognition improve the accuracy significantly.
