Care for a pregnant woman can take various organizational forms. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends leaders increase research into health systems. The aim of this is to manage the healthcare system in such a way as to provide beneficiaries with access to high-quality services with limited financial resources. The study presented in this paper was conducted using a diagnostic survey on a group of 1697 Polish women in the traditional model of care (TM) and 3216 women in the Coordinated Care for Pregnant Women Program (CCP). Two research tools were used in this study. The first is a survey prepared by the National Health Fund, the second is an author’s survey. The results indicate that most women (85%) receiving care under the CCP received effective pain management, compared to 67% under the traditional care model (p < 0.001). In the CCP, women were significantly more likely to receive midwife assistance in infant care (90%) than women in the traditional care model (60%) (p < 0.001). Significantly more CCP patients want to return to the same hospital for their subsequent childbirth (74%) than women in the traditional model of care (43%) (p < 0.001). In patients’ opinion, the new CCP model is superior in meeting their needs and providing higher-quality services. However, educating women that an obstetrician-gynecologist and a midwife can manage their pregnancy is still necessary. In addition to the CCP program, special attention should be paid to available pain management during childbirth since the use of analgesia is still insufficient in Polish hospitals.

“…In the case of the linear algorithms, support vector machine (SVM) with linear kernel and the generated linear model (GLM) were used; on the part of the nonlinear models, SVM with Gaussian kernel was used. Each model has its advantages and disadvantages, in the case of SVM, it provides great performance when there is little training data available, however, GLM is an extension of a linear regression model, which is very useful when the conditional distribution of the target attribute is not normal, introducing a link function g (2). Its adjustment in practice is conducted using the maximum likelihood method, therefore, this model was based on calculating the weighted sum of the predictors.…”

“…Although there has been a huge change in the way diseases are diagnosed and treated, there has been little change in the way health services are managed in the 21st century. A number of academic studies have emerged in the field of service design, but not much of this research is available, especially in the field of health services [2]. An overview of the current state-of-the-art in this area shows that the vast majority of it is aimed at achieving greater economic efficiency in some aspects of the sector.…”

Optimising Health Emergency Resource Management from Multi-Model Databases

2022

The health care sector is one of the most sensitive sectors in our society, and it is believed that the application of specific and detailed database creation and design techniques can improve the quality of patient care. In this sense, better management of emergency resources should be achieved. The development of a methodology to manage and integrate a set of data from multiple sources into a centralised database, which ensures a high quality emergency health service, is a challenge. The high level of interrelation between all of the variables related to patient care will allow one to analyse and make the right strategic decisions about the type of care that will be needed in the future, efficiently managing the resources involved in such care. An optimised database was designed that integrated and related all aspects that directly and indirectly affected the emergency care provided in the province of Jaén (city of Jaén, Andalusia, Spain) over the last eight years. Health, social, economic, environmental, and geographical information related to each of these emergency services was stored and related. Linear and nonlinear regression algorithms were used: support vector machine (SVM) with linear kernel and generated linear model (GLM), and the nonlinear SVM with Gaussian kernel. Predictive models of emergency demand were generated with a success rate of over 90%.

“…The healthcare context is characterized by continuous innovations and changes in treatments and diagnostics, while care processes undergo only small changes. 1 To ensure quality and efficiency in healthcare, however, it is not enough to introduce innovations, but it is necessary to analyse and revise the entire service, which includes healthcare but also non-healthcare activities. This consideration should be discussed within increasingly complex healthcare systems.…”

Service design and in particular co-design are approaches able to align with the need of healthcare contexts of value-based and patient-centered processing through a participatory design of services. The purpose of this study is to identify the characteristics of co-design and its applicability to the reengineering of healthcare services, as well as to detect the peculiarities of the application of this approach in different geographical contexts. The methodology applied for the review, Systematic Literature Network Analysis (SLNA), combines qualitative and quantitative perspectives. In detail, the analysis applied the paper citation networks and the co-word network analysis to detect the main research trends over time and to identify the most relevant publications. The results of the analysis highlight the backbone of literature on the application of co-design in healthcare as well as the advantages and the critical factors of the approach. Three main literature streams emerged concerning the integration of the approach at meso and micro level, the implementation of co-design at mega and macro level, and the impacts on non-clinical related outcomes. Moreover, the findings underline differences in co-design in terms of impacts and success factors in developed countries and economies in transition or developing countries. The analysis shows the potentially added value of the application of a participatory approach to the design and redesign of healthcare services both at different levels of the healthcare organization and in the contexts of developed countries and economies in transition or developing countries. The evidence also highlights potentialities and critical success factors of the application of co-design in healthcare services redesign.
