Healthcare facilities management in digitalization context

Abstract

In 2020-2021, the digitalization of medical institutions and their management systems is one of them during the coronavirus pandemic. This research reveals that the healthcare system crisis due to the spread of the pandemic not only revealed weaknesses but was an engine for accelerating technological change even in the face of limited financial resources. In Germany, Italy and France the crisis provided: 1) the development of telemedicine and online tools (to assist departments of medical institutions and doctors, assess the health of patients, remotely provide recommendations for further action (doctor's appointment or testing), provide contact information for medical institutions), creating technologies for screening the spread of the virus in the country; 2) strengthening collaboration with international partner companies, non-profit organizations, and local healthcare departments to implement practical solutions to provide remote support based on telemedicine technologies needed by patients under the isolation; 3) the adoption of regulations for the development of digital infrastructure of hospitals in order to digitalize the organization of processes, documents and communication. The pandemic spread was the impetus for the introduction of technological solutions in other areas of medicine to meet the healthcare needs of diabetology, cardiology, oncology, neurology, and psychology.

Energy drinks consumption among construction workers in Indonesia and associated factors

“…For example, at the first diagnosis, an individual with a family history of Diabetes mellitus identifies a slight lowering of EGFR below the normal level, later they come up with a higher risk of kidney disease. The progress of worsening kidney function among construction workers who have been ingesting energy drinks for years might have resulted from a complex process related to individual and environmental factors (Nataliia et al, 2021). Current findings add to the body of knowledge whereas the following factors, first, family history of comorbidity adds a risk factor in altering kidney function among those with extended ingestion of energy drinks.…”

This study explores telemedicine and patient satisfaction from the point of view of doctors, patients using telemedicine, and prospective patients using telemedicine on patient satisfaction in health care facilities (Nataliia et al, 2021).…”

Scientific Radiography of Healthcare System Process Efficiency Digitalisation

“…Zimmermanova et al (2022) state that the different levels of management in the medical units consider digitalisation as an essential information resource. Moreover, Nataliia et al (2021) grounded these findings because their results suggested that in the COVID-19 pandemic context, the digitalisation of the healthcare system of medical institutions and their management benefited from various facilities. Therefore, the results indicated that based on the pandemic crisis in the health system caused by the spread of the COVID-19 virus, technological change has accelerated, bringing benefits related to the exchange and storage of information by medical unit management through the implementation of various digital technologies in the healthcare system.…”
