a survey on ubiquitous Healthcare Service demand among diabetic patients
Diabetes & Metabolism Journal, 2011Co-Authors: Soo Lim, So Youn Kim, Jung Im Kim, Min Kyung Kwon, Sei Jin Min, Soo Young Yoo, Seon Mee Kang, Hong Il KimAbstract:Background: Advanced information technology can be used when developing diagnostic and treatment strategies to provide better care for diabetic patients. However, the levels of need and demand for the use of technological advances have not been investigated in diabetic patients. We proposed and developed an individualized, ubiquitous (U)-Healthcare Service using advanced information technology for more effective glucose control. Prior to our Service initiation, we surveyed patient needs and other pertinent information. Methods: During August 2009, we conducted a 34-item questionnaire survey among patients with diabetes who were older than 40 years in two certain hospitals in Korea. Results: The mean age of the 228 participants was 61.2±9 years, and males made up 49.1% of the sample. Seventy-one percent replied that they wanted individualized Healthcare Service, and they also wanted their health information to be delivered through mobile devices such as a cellular phone or a personal digital assistant (40.4%). Most patients had never heard of U-Healthcare Services (81.1%); however, after explaining the concept, 71.1% of participants responded that they would use the Service if it was pro vided. Despite their willingness, participants were concerned about technical difficulty in using the Service (26.3%) as well as the cost of the Service (29.8%). Conclusion: The current study suggests that more than 70% of diabetic patients are interested in using U-Healthcare Services. To encourage widespread use, the application program or device of U-Healthcare Services should be simple, easy to use and afford able while also including a policy for the protection of private information.

Robust management policies for positioning pharmacies as Healthcare Service providers
European Management Journal, 2008Co-Authors: Heiko GebauerAbstract:Summary Building on Service management, behavioural decision-making and social psychology literature, this article presents a framework for repositioning pharmacies as Healthcare Service providers in the Healthcare Service supply chain. The main tools for framework development are two polar-typed case studies on initiatives to develop Healthcare Services, and the development of a feedback model. The feedback model captures the rich interactions among basic structures for improving the Service development process, decision-making processes and mental models. The exploration of these interactions leads to different types of decision problems during the formation and implementation of initiatives to develop Healthcare Services in order to reposition pharmacies. The management policies outlined here are not meant to be exhaustive but rather to highlight potential directions that can result in a management contribution towards advancing decision-making in the Healthcare Service sector. Because repositioning pharmacies as Healthcare Service providers represents a specific illustration on increasing the Service orientation in typical retail companies, the findings can be transferred into the general retailer context.

improved glycemic control without hypoglycemia in elderly diabetic patients using the ubiquitous Healthcare Service a new medical information system
Diabetes Care, 2011Co-Authors: Sung Soo Lim, So Youn Kim, Soo Young Yoo, Seon Mee Kang, Hayley Shin, Hak Jong Lee, Ji Won Yoon, Hye Seung Jung, Kyong Soo Park, Jun Oh RyuAbstract:OBJECTIVE To improve quality and efficiency of care for elderly patients with type 2 diabetes, we introduced elderly-friendly strategies to the clinical decision support system (CDSS)-based ubiquitous Healthcare (u-Healthcare ) Service, which is an individualized health management system using advanced medical information technology. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We conducted a 6-month randomized, controlled clinical trial involving 144 patients aged >60 years. Participants were randomly assigned to receive routine care (control, n = 48), to the self-monitored blood glucose (SMBG, n = 47) group, or to the u-Healthcare group ( n = 49). The primary end point was the proportion of patients achieving A1C RESULTS After 6 months of follow-up, the mean A1C level was significantly decreased from 7.8 ± 1.3% to 7.4 ± 1.0% ( P P = 0.020) in the SMBG group, compared with 7.9 ± 0.8% to 7.8 ± 1.0% ( P = 0.274) in the control group. The proportion of patients with A1C P 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The CDSS-based u-Healthcare Service achieved better glycemic control with less hypoglycemia than SMBG and routine care and may provide effective and safe diabetes management in the elderly diabetic patients.

a web based information system for a regional public mental Healthcare Service network in brazil
International Journal of Mental Health Systems, 2017Co-Authors: Vinicius Tohoru Yoshiura, Joao Mazzoncini De Azevedomarques, Magdalena Rzewuska, Andre Luiz Teixeira Vinci, Ariane Morassi Sasso, Newton Shydeo Brandao Miyoshi, Antonia Regina Ferreira Furegato, Rui Rijo, Cristina Marta Delben, Domingos AlvesAbstract:Regional networking between Services that provide mental health care in Brazil’s decentralized public health system is challenging, partly due to the simultaneous existence of Services managed by municipal and state authorities and a lack of efficient and transparent mechanisms for continuous and updated communication between them. Since 2011, the Ribeirao Preto Medical School and the XIII Regional Health Department of the Sao Paulo state, Brazil, have been developing and implementing a web-based information system to facilitate an integrated care throughout a public regional mental health care network. After a profound on-site analysis, the structure of the network was identified and a web-based information system for psychiatric admissions and discharges was developed and implemented using a socio-technical approach. An information technology team liaised with mental health professionals, health-Service managers, municipal and state health secretariats and judicial authorities. Primary care, specialized community Services, general emergency and psychiatric wards Services, that comprise the regional mental Healthcare network, were identified and the system flow was delineated. The web-based system overcame the fragmentation of the Healthcare system and addressed Service specific needs, enabling: detailed patient information sharing; active coordination of the processes of psychiatric admissions and discharges; real-time monitoring; the patients’ status reports; the evaluation of the performance of each Service and the whole network. During a 2-year period of operation, it registered 137 Services, 480 health care professionals and 4271 patients, with a mean number of 2835 accesses per month. To date the system is successfully operating and further expanding. We have successfully developed and implemented an acceptable, useful and transparent web-based information system for a regional mental Healthcare Service network in a medium-income country with a decentralized public health system. Systematic collaboration between an information technology team and a wide range of stakeholders is essential for the system development and implementation.
