This study analyzed the perception of compliance with the four factors of innovation in medical services in two groups of patients after undergoing outpatient procedures in an accredited and a non-accredited hospital. Seventy-eight patients were treated at the accredited hospital and 80 at the non-accredited one. A quasi-experimental design based on a pre-test, post-test, and a focus group was applied. A Welch correction t-test and a Tau Kendall correlation coefficient were also applied. Patients treated in the accredited hospital considered that the four characteristics of innovation studied were better applied, and that accreditation in outpatient procedures improves the hospital to achieve its institutional objective. This research will contribute to understanding how innovation in healthcare impacts the perception of quality of observed patients. The present research document is the result of the joint work of the Research Group "Democracy and Modernization of the Colombian State".
This study examines the protection of health rights in Indonesia from the perspective of human rights and the Indonesian constitution. The study aims to analyze relevant regulations and articles on health rights protection and propose an ideal pattern in health protection for citizens within the framework of human rights and the Indonesian constitution. The methodology used in this study is a descriptive-analytic approach with a focus on normative legal research. The results show that the right to health is a fundamental human right and must be guaranteed by the state following the constitution and human rights law. The study also identifies various aspects of health rights protection, including the right to quality and affordable health services, health insurance, and eliminating discrimination in health services. Moreover, the study proposes an ideal pattern for health protection for different vulnerable groups, including women, children, people with disabilities, elderly people, and people with HIV/AIDS. The proposed ideal pattern includes policies and regulations to support reducing maternal mortality, strengthening child health programs, realizing disability-friendly health facilities, providing long-term care services for elderly people, and eliminating stigmatization and discrimination against PLHIV. Overall, this study highlights the importance of fulfilling the health rights of all citizens in Indonesia and provides recommendations to achieve this goal.
With the increase in global life expectancy and the advance of technology, the creation of age-friendly environments is a priority in the design of new products for elderly people healthcare. This paper presents a proposal for a real-time health monitoring system of older adults living in geriatric residences. This system was developed to help caregivers to have a better control in monitoring the health of their patients and have closer communication with their patients’ family members. To validate the feasibility and effectiveness of this proposal, a prototype was built, using a biometric bracelet connected to a mobile application, which allows real-time visualization of all the information generated by the sensors (heart rate, body temperature, and blood oxygenation) in the bracelet. Using these data, caregivers can make decisions about the health status of their patients. The evaluation found that the users perceived the system to be easy to learn and use, providing initial evidence that our proposal could improve the quality of the adult’s healthcare.
