Download or read book Telecare Technologies and the Transformation of Healthcare written by N. Oudshoorn and published by Springer. This book was released on 2011-10-27 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the British Sociological Association Foundation for the Sociology of Health and Illness Book Prize, 2012. This book traces the changes in healthcare implicated in telecare technologies: information and communication technologies that enable care at a distance. What happens when healthcare moves from physical to virtual encounters between healthcare professionals and patients? What are the consequences for patients when they are expected to do things that used to be done by healthcare professionals? What actually happens when homes become electronically wired to healthcare organizations? These are urgent questions that are, however, largely absent in dominant discourses on telecare. Drawing on insights from science, technology, and human geography, this work opens up novel accounts of the adoption and use of new technologies in healthcare. Nelly Oudshoorn shows how telecare technologies participate in redefining the responsibilities and identities of patients and healthcare professionals, introducing a new category of healthcare workers, and changing the kinds of care and spaces where healthcare is situated. This book intervenes critically into discourses that celebrate the independence of place and time by showing how places and physical contacts still matter in care at a distance.

Download or read book Emerging Technologies in Healthcare written by Christopher M. Hayre and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2024-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited book focuses on the role and use of emerging technologies within the healthcare sector. This text draws on expertise from leading practitioners and researchers who either utilize and/or are at the forefront of researching with emerging technology in anticipation of enhancing patient outcomes. Emerging Technologies in Healthcare: Interpersonal and Client-Based Perspectives focuses on the role of emerging technologies in society and how it may enhance medical treatment, management, and rehabilitation of service users. It offers expert perspectives on topics covering emerging technological advances and how they are being incorporated into healthcare, but also critically appraises forthcoming implementation. The editors draw from recent publications and the growing narrative surrounding technological advances, notably telerehabilitation, virtual reality, augmentation, and mHealth. Subsequent chapters focus on these, coupled with other emerging technologies, providing detailed insight into how these can either enhance and/or hinder patient/service user outcomes. Each chapter explores the multifaceted use and application of each emerging technology, that impacts on diagnosis, treatment, and (self-) management of individuals. For example, can emerging technology really facilitate patient diagnosis, improve, or remove practitioner-patient interactions, provide sound rehabilitation, and treat/monitor mental health conditions? This edited volume encompasses an array of emerging technologies that will remain pertinent to caregivers, families, practitioners, service users and policymakers. This is not a text on emerging technology alone but on its societal implications, accompanied by ethical, altruistic, and moral examples for such advances within the healthcare field. It is targeted that this text will enhance and offer original discussions surrounding the interconnectivity of technology and medicine, rehabilitation, and patient care.

This book spans a diversity of countries and health-care delivery systems but focuses primarily on the U.S., Europe, Japan, and Australia. The book is divided into three parts: • Creating Frameworks, which describes organizational changes in future health-care delivery • Future Processes of Healthcare Delivery, which examines different processes of delivery, such as strategic planning, palliative care, and the impact of research knowledge • Emerging Technologies, which addresses technology's potential impact on future care The breadth of contributions and the variety of topics covered make this a truly useful review of the origins and current state of the delivery health care, and what we might reasonably expect in the future. Designed for professionals and academics in health care and health-care technology management, the book will be equally important to people in related disciplines who are also affected in various ways by advances in the health-care system worldwide.

Download or read book Managed Care and the Evaluation and Adoption of Emerging Medical Technologies written by Steven Garber and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2000 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New medical technologies--pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and procedures--often allow great improvements in the outcomes of medical care, but they are also widely believed to be a major cause of increasing costs. Selective adoption of new technologies is crucial in the quest to control health care costs while preserving or enhancing the quality of care. This report focuses on evaluation and adoption of innovative procedures and medical devices by managed care organizations (MCOs). The project had two primary objectives: (1) to understand current MCO processes for making coverage, medical-necessity, and payment decisions and how device developers and manufacturers prepare for and participate in these processes; and (2) to identify ways that private, voluntary action by the managed-care and medical-device industries might improve--for the benefit of society--these processes. The core data are from confidential interviews with eight companies that develop and manufacture medical devices and medical directors of nine MCOs. The findings should be of interest to medical-device developers and manufacturers, managed care organizations, public-policy makers, and researchers and analysts. A major impediment to socially appropriate adoption of emerging medical technologies is limited information about the performance of these technologies in day-to-day medical practice. The authors discuss prospects for improving four elements of information availability: --Developing better information before market introduction --Learning more from experience after market introduction --Evaluating and synthesizing clinical information --Disseminating information. They also discuss several other issues that warrant consideration: --Aligning private incentives of MCOs and payers with social values --Enhancing MCO capabilities to evaluate technologies and make decisions --Improving decisions by physicians --Reducing use of inappropriate or obsolete technologies --Reducing costs of decisionmaking for manufacturers and MCOs --Improving manufacturer understanding of the market environment --Helping MCOs and employers anticipate what is in the pipeline.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technology is one of the fatest changing components of the rapidly evolving healthcare information environment. New hardware, advanced communications technologies, and new methodologies are enabling process changes that will dramatically affect the way healthcare is delivered in our hospitals and communities. Many hold the additional promise of allowing cost reduction to beleagured healthcare systems. This issue of is devoted to exploring recent technological innovations, as well as older technologies now finding new applications in healthcare. Each of the authors explores a different technology, explaining its basis and then relating its value when applied to healthcare. It has often been said that healthcare is slower than other industries to adopt new technology to effect change. These authors demonstrate that the climate may be changing as the pressures on the industry tighten.
