The elderly people are difficult to seek medical advice,the elderly dependency ratio is soaring,finance fails to bear such heavy load,and social endowment service pressure is also constantly increasing. Traditional endowment mode is already incapable of satisfying current endowment demands. On the basis of the population aging,this paper came up with the new endowment mode " hospital + nursing home" and analyzed its feasibility. Finally,it reached the conclusion that this endowment mode is helpful for solving problems of endowment and medical care,and alleviating the problem of population aging.展开更多

If there is a complete telemedicine sys<span>tem, it will not only greatly improve medical efficiency. It can reduce the ch</span>ance of contact between people and avoid the medical risks caused by severe special infectious pneumonia. This paper focuses on the development of a high-efficiency telemedicine system platform that conforms to international stan<span>dard data exchange formats. This system platform can not only solve the pr</span>oblem of shortage of medical staff but also allow patients to be free from medical outpatient time constraints. Achieve the effect of telemedicine at any time, and digitize the medical process rules to establish a complete online telemedicine system platform.展开更多

Patients eligible for treatment were entered into an integrated care model therapy algorithm. The primary outcome was SVR12 based on intention to treat(ITT) analysis. Inclusion criteria consisted of both treatment na?ve and experienced patients over the age of 18 who were at least twelve weeks post-therapy completion with any genotype(GT) or METAVIR score. Secondary outcomes included adherence, adverse events, and number of drug interaction interventions.RESULTS At the time of analysis, 133 patients had reached twelve weeks post therapy with ITT. In the ITT analysis 70 patients were GT 1a, 26 GT 1b, 23 could not be differentiated between GT 1a or 1b, 8 GT 2, 4 GT 3, and 2 patients with multiple genotypes. The ITT treatment regimens consisted of 97 sofosbuvir(SOF)/ledipasvir(LDV), 8 SOF/LDV and ribavirin(RBV), 7 SOFand Simeprevir(SMV), 6 3D and RBV, 1 3D, 11 SOF and RBV, and 1 SOF, peg interferon alpha, and RBV. The overall SVR12 rate was 93% in the ITT analysis with a total of 6 patients relapsing. In patients with cirrhosis, 89% obtained SVR12. All 33 patients who were previous treatment failures achieved SVR12. Drug-drug interactions were identified in 56.4% of our patient population, 69 of which required interventions made by the pharmacist. The most common side effects were fatigue(41.4%), headache(28.6%), nausea(18.1%), and diarrhea(8.3%). No serious adverse effects were reported.CONCLUSION Dean Health System's integrated care model successfully managed patients being treated for hepatitis C virus(HCV). The integrated care model demonstrates high SVR rates amongst patients with different levels of fibrosis, genotypes, and HCV treatment history.展开更多

Method: We analyzed the family-held/patient-held records of patients with dementia in the community. The inclusion criteria in the study were as follows: 1) patient-held/family member-held records of patients with dementia in the community;2) patient-held records designed to share information across different professionals, direct-care staff members, and local government staff;and 3) the continuous participation of psychiatrists in the development and use of the patient-held records. Results: We identified eight sets of family-held/patient-held records in Japanese communities of various sizes, all of which were aimed at integrating information from various services, including information provided by medical and psychiatric professionals to the family and patient. Innovative tools have been available in the areas of the hopes and preferences of the patient, medication and monitoring, sharing information, and the use of information technology. Conclusion and Discussion: Family-held/patient-held records have potential as a tool to enhance the integrated care of people with dementia in the community.展开更多

E...Fostering integration between caregivers in the ambulatory sector involves transforming the institutional, organizational and technical flamework but also redesigning the work performed by health care professionals. Empirical research on the implementation of integrated care highlights professional engagement and commitment as a key success factor during the change process. Although a mismatch of motives during the integration process is often reported only a few studies have explored motivational aspects of health care integration. The aim of this study is to explore motivational factors for health care professionals in order to identify the determinants of attractiveness of integrated forms of care. An online-questionnaire was developed to identify the most important motivational factors for health care professionals and to reflect their perceptions on the attractiveness of interdisciplinary forms of care. The sample includes practicing physicians (general practitioners and specialists), practicing nurses and non-physician professions (physiotherapists, midwives, speech therapists, occupational therapists). Findings suggest that health care professionals are highly motivated by intrinsic motivators. Physicians turned out to be the most reluctant group towards integrated care models. Participating in integrated forms of care would challenge working independently which represents a strong motivator. The responses of nurses suggest that they are the most favorable group. Integrated care forms would be attractive offering more possibilities for social relationships, expanding responsibilities and challenging work. Results support the importance of health workforce engagement and participation in planning health care integration.展开更多

Methods: Obtaining data from regular reports from public medical institutions in Shanghai, comparing patients who seek doctors from out-of-Shanghai residence and local patients with insurance in terms of the quantity of service, types of diseases, medical expenses, etc. Results: External-care-seeking has a large quantity, especially in hospitalization. In 2012, the number of discharged population from out-of-Shanghai accounted for 22.74% of the total discharged number, the proportion even higher than 30% in tertiary hospitals. Tertiary hospitals have a significant attraction effect, concentrating 59.42% of the outpatient and emergency visits and 71.82% of the amount of hospitalization, with corresponding cost of 75.86% and 82.56%. The top three divisions in tertiary hospitals for external-care-seeking were surgical, obstetrics and gynecology, internal medicine. Based on the interview, admitting out-of-shanghai patients is conducive to the improvement of the technical level of hospitals, and to the enhancement of the utilization efficiency of health resource. However, the local residents may have less accessibility of high quality of medical service. The average expense of external-care-seeking is higher than that of local patients happened in the same level of hospitals. Conclusions: External-care-seeking will have a more far-reaching impact on the health care system in Shanghai;some interventions might be necessary, such as rationally allocating medical resources based on the estimates of external-care-seeking and establishing a medical service supervision mechanism.展开更多
