The reason for this review based on the results of many meta- analyses is the great assessed difference in the methods of most studies in e-Health, telemedicine and tele-rehabilitation. It consists of different understanding of new terms, using different hard- and software, including criteria, different methodology of patient’s treatment and its evaluation. This status suggests that first of all m-Health/e-Health requires a unique ontology of terms using and methodology of studies comparing. In this review we try to describe shortly the most significant points of modern e-Health field of medicine. The basic parts include methodology of review formation, tele-communication implementation results, tele-education, interactive questioning, tele-consultation, telemedicine diagnosis, tele-monitoring, rehabilitation and tele-rehabilitation, gamification, acceptability of mobile electronic devices and software in e-Health and planning studies. At the end of the review the new ontological structure of digital medicine is presented.

AbstractThe classical equation for the production of goods and services, that is, the combination of labor, capital, and knowledge, constrained by the time dimension, may also be used to examine the production of medical and hospital services. However, this is qualified by the special nature of the “capital” used in health care, particularly medical technology. Because of the particular nature of health services, the adoption and the use of technology follows rules that are different from those in the industrial sphere. These differences are examined in some detail as are the implications for the health field in general, and for the hospitals where most of the new (and often costly) technology is located.

O presente estudo propôs a realização de uma revisão bibliográfica com critérios de busca e seleção utilizadas pela revisão sistemática, tendo como principal objetivo a identificação dos efeitos oriundos do processo de terceirização no setor de gerenciamento dos serviços de saúde. Este, por sua vez, respaldou-se em estudos que versam a respeito da temática abordada, publicados nas bases de dados MEDLINE e SciELO, onde passaram por um processo de seleção, resultando num acervo de 15 artigos. Dentre os resultados encontrados pôde-se observar que a evolução do processo de terceirização trouxe benefícios de suma relevância para o âmbito da saúde, principalmente no que concerne à redução dos custos orçamentais de diversas unidades de saúde, favorecendo o acesso aos usuários dos serviços da saúde, e consequentemente promovendo uma melhoria na qualidade dos atendimentos a essa clientela. No entanto, alguns estudos mostraram algumas falhas no setor administrativo que levaram ao surgimento de sérios problemas no âmbito financeiro. Portanto, é imprescindível que haja a instituição de medidas preventivas e de monitoramento direcionadas ao processo, a fim de se evitar futuros contratempos. THE OUTSOURCING PROCESS CONSEQUENCES FOR MANAGEMENT OF HEALTH SERVICES SECTOR ABSTRACT The present study proposed the accomplishment of a bibliographic review with search and selection criteria used by the systematic review, having as main objective the identification of the effects arising from the process of outsourcing in the health services management sector. This was supported by studies on the subject, published in the MEDLINE and SciELO databases, where they underwent a selection process, resulting in a collection of 15 articles. Among the results found, it was observed that the evolution of the outsourcing process brought benefits of great relevance to the health field, mainly in relation to the reduction of the budgetary costs of several health units, favoring access to the users of health services and consequently promoting an improvement in the quality of care to this population. However, some studies have shown some flaws in the administrative sector that have led to the emergence of serious financial problems. Therefore, it is essential that preventive and monitoring measures be taken in order to avoid future setbacks.

The aim of this study was to determine the exercise addiction levels of Van Yüzüncü Yıl University Vocational School of Health Services and Health Vocational School Students. The population of the study consisted of the students studying in Van Yüzüncü Yıl University Health Services Vocational School and Health Vocational School. The Exercise Addiction Scale (ESS), eveloped by Tekkurşun Demir et al. (2018) was applied to the participants. Significant differences were found in comparisons (a) between age and over-focussing and change of emotion, (b) gender and postponement of individual-social needs and conflict, (c) regular sporting and conflict, (d) tolerance development and passion, (e) sporting frequency and over-focussing and change of emotion,(p <0.05). As a result, it was determined that age, sex, the frequency of doing sports and regular sporting affected exercise addiction.

Care System

That there exists an isolation of health services today is a consequence of important structural changes in society, especially the structure of both the family and occupations and increased professional dominance within the health field. The crisis of the health care system is due to its demand for increased economic resources and political support, a demand which is not met by the broader society, i.e. we are dealing with a failure of legitimacy, resulting among other things from the fact that health professionals have not publicly discussed the aims and methods of their field. Due to the failure of legitimacy we see a diversity of popular movements and activities, which can be described as individuals involved in organized protest. Some of these movements result in a certain strengthening of individual resources, thereby restraining the growing inequality of resources between professionals and patients. The article deals with what could be called the crisis in the health care system. The general economic crisis of society adds to and sharpens this development, but we will here argue the existence of a separate and independent crisis in the health field, which would have developed anyway. The background of the health care crisis is the separation of health services from society in ways that will be described, and the increasing inequality of resources between the agents of the health care system and the people. We will describe an economic-political aspect of the crisis as well as an aspect of legitimacy bound up with it. Finally we point to the reactions of the population in the face of the health care crisis. The authors work with analyses of the primary health care system (authorized as well as unauthorized),1 as relates to people's illness and illness behavior. This is the basis of the article. The research data available in this area are scarce, and we would like to point out that the paper as a whole aims to present a hypothesis rather than established facts. We think this has a value in itself and hope that the readers will accept the limitations of this approach. The article confines itself to the health services of Denmark, though similar tendencies could be described as regards the social services.

Abstract Background Peer support is being introduced into mental health services internationally, often in response to workforce policy. Earlier systematic reviews incorporate different modalities of peer support (i.e. group and one-to-one), offer inconsistent evidence of effectiveness, and also indicate substantial heterogeneity and issues of quality in the evidence base at that time. An updated review, focussed on one-to-one peer support, is timely given current policy interest. This study aims to systematically review evidence for the effectiveness of one-to-one peer support interventions for adults using mental health services, and to explore heterogeneity in peer support interventions. Method We searched MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Embase, CINAHL and Cochrane databases from inception until 13 June 2019. Included studies were assessed for risk of bias, and meta-analyses conducted where multiple trials provided usable data. Results Twenty-three studies reporting nineteen trials were eligible, providing data from 3329 participants. While seven trials were of low to moderate risk of bias, incomplete reporting of data in many studies suggested bias in the evidence base. Peer support interventions included peer workers in paraclinical roles (e.g. case manager), providing structured behavioural interventions, or more flexible support for recovery. Meta-analyses were conducted for eleven outcomes, with evidence that one-to-one peer support may have a modest positive impact on self-reported recovery and empowerment. There was no impact on clinical symptoms or service use. Analyses of heterogeneity suggest that peer support might improve social network support. Conclusions One-to-one peer support in mental health services might impact positively on psychosocial outcomes, but is unlikely to improve clinical outcomes. In order to better inform the introduction of peer support into mental health services, improvement of the evidence base requires complete reporting of outcome data, selection of outcomes that relate to intervention mechanisms, exploration of heterogeneity in the implementation of peer support and focused reviews of specific types of one-to-one peer support.

The entry of social science into the health field is exciting news—at least to those who for a long time have been preaching that medicine and public health are really applied social sciences, because their goal is to apply scientific techniques to the welfare of people. Henry Sigerist, Michael Davis, C-E. A. Winslow, René Sand, Andrija Stampar, Jacques Parisot, James Mackintosh have been saying this in the languages of their respective countries since at least 1920; Alfred Grotjohn, Arthur Newsholme, Max Pettenkofer, Richard Cabot, and others before them. But these men were physicians or health administrators and not formally trained social scientists. Moreover, the sad truth is that most of their medical colleagues paid little attention to them.
