In this article we discuss the implications of a few critical drawbacks associated with the present state of Long-term and Post-Acute Care processes. This is discussed in some detail using a hypothetical example. Using this example the authors identify some of the key design challenges in developing these systems. This is followed by a discussion on future research directions and necessary developments in the design and implementation of Long-term and Post-Acute Care systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
