Abstract Ubiquitous Internet of medical things (U-IoMT) technology is designed to predict the efficiency and quality of health care facilities by using various connected objects to support patient monitoring systems. U- IoMT is connected to devices such as RFID tags and several physical sensor devices (WSN) that collect real-time information. This technology is used to comprehend complex security-related tasks. The ubiquitous platform can be used to access smart health care information through mobile and electronic devices, allowing for faster diagnosis and higher service quality. In this study, we use ontology to describe the semantic representation of medical objects and their data in U-IoMT backup in this analysis. The healthcare system aims to examine patient prescriptions and drug supply chain management records. Emergency healthcare services are connected to smartphone-wearable devices of patients for monitoring purposes to reduce emergency cases and to maintain e-patient records. The mobile health application aims to maintain the health status of a patient wherever the patient is located. The semantic sensor networks (SSN) architecture uses peer-to-peer communication to achieve semantic interoperability, which is described as interoperable IoMT platforms. A framework of SSN and the context-awareness layer was additionally created for visualization of patient remote health monitoring, drug management, patient moment analysis, and patient tracking were monitored using various devices, e-health was used to demonstrate the chronic diseases.

Strengthening the health care system at grassroots level is a top priority of the Vietnam Government agenda at the present. Recently, the overall system has been improved, however the capacity to deliver healthcare services, especially primary health care was still facing to many shortcomings. The study aimed to assess the current situation and capacity to deliver health care services at grassroots level. All health care facilities in the Minh Hoa district, Quang Binh province in 2018 were selected, included Minh Hoa District Hospital (DHs) and 16 Commune Health Center (CHCs). The results showed that the disease patterns tended to primarily concentrate on the illness which weres related to the human lifestyle and health behaviors such as living habits, eating unhealthy food, stress and also natural environment. Utilization of the curative services increased over the year, especially the laboratory testing and health examination services. However, the facility infrastructures did not meet the national standard. The function rooms in the facilities being degraded and damaged remained at high proportion which were required to renovate. The facilities lacked of large number of essential equipment and materials. In order to strengthen the capacity to deliver the health care services, the study recommended to invest to standardize infrastructure, provision of essential equipment, materials and drugs in correspondent to the disease pattern.

This chapter analyzes the role of m-health applications supporting patients with chronic diseases (based on examples from asthma care). The purpose of the chapter is to describe the mobile health application development cycle. The chapter begins with a presentation of asthma as a chronic disease and its prevalence and costs for society, as a determinant of the role and place of m-health applications in chronic disease management. Subsequent sections analyze trends in the development of health care, information systems, and health care payment systems as components of the environment for the implementation of m-health applications. The chapter focuses on prerequisites for the introduction of this type of solutions, presents existing applications, and discusses how to define the key functionalities and benefits for patients, payers, and doctors. The financing cycle, barriers to implementation, and future trends are also addressed.


The purpose of this chapter is to assess and examine the impact health care information technology (HIT) on physician-nurse performance related to patient trust and safety. A considerable number of patients today are using different HITs to get access to healthcare services such as appointment scheduling and medication refills; communicate with physicians and nurses for different computerized tailored interventions to manage a chronic condition or to change a health behavior. Improving the quality and safety of care, and reducing the medical errors are of equal responsibility of all clinicians and all healthcare staff. Patient safety is the most critical factor of the medical and healthcare quality, where nurses can be invaluable in preventing harm to patients, reducing errors and improving patients' outcomes. The chapter shows that there are many advantages of Web-acquired healthcare related information. The main question is how will efficient use of HIT by patients improve healthcare quality, patient trust and safety.

Preserving routine primary care for people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLWH) has been an important challenge during the COVID-19 pandemic. Telemedicine platforms have offered novel means through which care for these individuals may be maintained. Opt-In for Life is a unique mobile health application that contains telemedicine capabilities as well as other features designed specifically for the care of PLWH. Opt-In for Life was implemented early in the pandemic at Hershey Medical Center, although the center is now using a different telemedicine platform across its health care system. Institutional decisions regarding telemedicine platforms are complex. Opt-In for Life contains features that may improve the care of PLWH where telemedicine software alone may be limited.

ABSTRACT “Patient-Centred Care” is principle that must be implemented by Health Care Facilities to improve the quality of health care, and patient safety is one of main indicators. There’s no definite details of standard for implementation of patient safety in Puskesmas just like in hospitals until now. The purpose of this study was to observe the implementation of patient safety in Puskesmas X Kediri, East Java, Indonesia. This study was descriptive research evaluation. The subjects was the component of patient safety implementation system. The members of Quality Management were the respondents. Collecting information through interviews and observation. Patient safety in Puskesmas X, Kediri, be the reponsibility of Quality Improvement and Patient Safety Team. Communication between health workers with patients, occur only if patients is actively inquire about health care information they need. Concrete action from the implementation of patient safety focused only on environment and facilities improvement. Making the Standard Operating Procedures for patient safety implementation must be tested prior to patients in a long period before it is established. Procedures for patient safety implementation in Puskesmas X, Kediri, doesn’t have definite standards because of the absence of written regulation that specify clearly on patient safety implementation for Puskesmas, both from central and regional government. The governments should immediately undertake consensus regarding patient safety standards for Puskesmas, and establish specific regulation about patient safety procedures standardization that can be implemented for Puskesmas in Indonesia.Keywords: Patient Safety, Procedures Standardization, PuskesmasABSTRAK “Pasien sebagai Pusat Layanan Kesehatan” adalah prinsip yang harus diterapkan oleh setiap Fasilitas Pelayanan Kesehatan untuk meningkatkan kualitas layanan kesehatan, dan keselamatan pasien adalah salah satu indikator utamanya.

Ubiquitous health care facilities have become a more and more of widespread, particularly underneath the crucial request of the worldwide aging issue. Cloud computing owns the worldwide and on-demand service-oriented natures, which may apt the characteristics of health care services. However, the skills in addressing multimodal, heterogeneous, and non-stationary physiological signals to supply persistent customized services, meantime keeping high parallel on-line analysis for public, square measure challenges to the final cloud. During this work, we have a tendency to offer a personal cloud platform style that contains six layers in keeping with the particular needs. This strategy consumes message queue as a cloud engine, and every layer thereby achieves qualified independence by this loosely coupled suggests that of communications with distribute/contribute mechanism. What is more, a plug-in algorithmic rule define is additionally gettable, and large semi structure or unstructured medical knowledge square measure retrieved adaptively by this cloud style. Because the testing consequences showing planned cloud platform, with healthy, steady, and capable options, will fulfill high parallel requests from omnipresent health care services.

The level of patient satisfaction is a direct or indirect measure of services delivered in healthcare institutions. Different primary studies in Ethiopia showed the proportion of satisfied patients toward health services. Patient satisfaction reflects a wide gap between the current experience and the expected services and pushes clients to go to farther located health care facilities and even to more expensive private health care facilities to find quality healthcare services. Inconsistent findings regarding the proportion of patients that are satisfied with the healthcare services in Ethiopia make generalizations difficult at the national level. We have accessed previous studies through an electronic web-based search strategy using PubMed, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, Embase, and CINAHL and a combination of search terms. The quality of each included article was assessed using a modified version of the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale for cross-sectional studies. All statistical analyses were done using STATA version 14 software for windows, and meta-analysis was carried out using a random-effects method. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guideline was followed for reporting results. Out of 188 records screened, 41 studies with 17 176 participants fulfilled the inclusion criteria and were included for proportion estimation. The pooled proportion of satisfied patients was 63.7%. Attending a health center (AOR = 2.68; 95% CI = 1.79, 2.85), being literate (AOR = 0.46; 95% CI = 0.28-0.64), being younger than 34 years old (AOR = 2.07; 95% CI = 1.28, 2.85), and being divorced (AOR = 0.58; 95% CI = 0.38, 0.88) were factors identified as being associated with patient satisfaction. The proportion of patient satisfaction in Ethiopia was high based on over 50% satisfaction scale. The Ministry of Health should give more emphasis to improve hospital health care services to further improve patient satisfaction.
