Download or read book Planning and Designing Healthcare Facilities written by Vijai Kumar Singh and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-10-30 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The planning and design of healthcare facilities has evolved over the previous decades from "function follows design" to "design follows function." Facilities stressed the functions of healthcare providers but patient experience was not fully considered. The design process has now crucially evolved, and currently, the impression a hospital conveys to its patients and community is the primary concern. The facilities must be welcoming, comfortable, and exude a commitment to patient well-being. Rapid changes and burgeoning technologies are now major considerations in facility design. Without flexibility, hospitals face quicker obsolescence if designs are not forward-thinking. Planning and Designing Healthcare Facilities: A Lean, Innovative, and Evidence-Based Approach explores recent developments in hospital design. Medical facilities have been adapted to the requirements of clinical functions. Recently, the needs of patients and clinical pathways have been recognized. With the patient at the center of the process, the flow of tasks becomes the guiding principle as hospital design must employ evidence-based thinking, and process management methods such as Lean become central. The authors explain new concepts to reduce healthcare delivery cost, but keep quality the primary consideration. Concepts such as sustainability (i.e., Green Hospitals) and the use of new tools and technologies, such as information and communication technology (ICT), Lean, and evidence-based planning and innovations are fully explained.

Download or read book Behavioral Healthcare and Technology written by Lisa Marsch and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-11-10 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, there has been an explosion of research focused on using technology in healthcare, including web- and mobile- health assessment and intervention tools, as well as smartphone sensors and smart environments for monitoring and promoting health behavior. This work has shown that technology-based therapeutic tools offer considerable promise for monitoring and responding to individuals' health behavior in real-time. They may also function as important "clinician-extenders" or stand-alone tools, may be cost-effective and may offer countless opportunities for tailoring behavioral monitoring and intervention delivery in a manner that is optimally responsive to each individual's profile and health behavior trajectory over time. Additionally, informational and communication technologies may be used in the context of decision support tools to help individuals better understand and access treatment. Technology may enable entirely new models of healthcare both within and outside of formal systems of care and thus offers the opportunity to revolutionize healthcare delivery. This edited book defines the state of scientific research related to the development, experimental evaluation, and effective dissemination of technology-based therapeutic tools targeting behavioral health. Behavioral Healthcare and Technology provides an overview of current evidence-based approaches to leverage technology to promote behavioral health, including management of substance use, mental health, diet/exercise, medication adherence, as well as chronic disease self-management. Additionally, the book defines the state of implementation research examining models for deploying technology-based behavioral healthcare systems and integrating them into various care settings to increase the quality and reach of evidence-based behavioral healthcare while reducing costs.
Download or read book Digital Respiratory Healthcare written by Hilary Pinnock and published by European Respiratory Society. This book was released on 2023-12-01 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Respiratory care is undergoing a period of major change as it cautiously begins to embrace digital transformation. Catalysed by the need for remote consultation in the pandemic, time-honoured approaches to delivering care are now being challenged by technology-based initiatives. This Monograph deftly guides the reader through the potential benefits and pitfalls of such change, breaking the discussion down into three areas: technological opportunities and regulatory challenges ; social benefits, challenges and implications; exemplars of digital healthcare. Each chapter reviews contemporary literature and considers not ‘if’ but ‘how’ a digital respiratory future can provide optimal care. The result is an authoritative, balanced guide to developing digital respiratory health.
