This change was made possible by technological advancements. Various parties need to exchange the data records they keep on one another, and users need to be allowed to exercise control over who has access to the information they have on file. The Electronic Health Record (EHR) system is beset by issues relating to managing problems, challenges with trust, and data protection. Data stored on blockchains are immutable, private, and accessible only by their intended users. Blockchain technology's use has also led to managing a system with the potential to provide decentralized data storage. In this research, we determine whether it is appropriate to deploy blockchain technology in EHR and explore its potential uses in the efficient leadership of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Through a systematic review survey focusing on the keywords like out-of-pocket, Health Technology Assessment and Health care system was conducted by using the searches from Google Scholar, Science Direct, PubMed and ProQuest Database, it is observed that India ranks among the greatest out-of-pocket (OOP) healthcare expenditures in the globe. This seems to be notwithstanding the deployment of several public health plans and the provision of a significant variety of both private and public health coverage schemes. Decrease in the treatment quality across many healthcare institutions of government is a key cause causing the typical Indian individual to constantly rely on medical services provided by private firms, heading up OOP expenses. Among the most significant problems in implementing universal health care (UHC) in India is a poor acceptance of insurance products and awareness between many Indians. The burden of large OOP expenditures on people might be lessened by increasing medical insurance acceptance, which may be accomplished by enhancing India's medical claims system.","PeriodicalId":42935,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Health Management","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136072584","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Big data in healthcare refers to the collecting, analysis, and use of clinical data from patients that is too massive or complex to be grasped by standard data processing methods. Adopting big data in health care will enable manages to render services to patient and customer satisfaction. However, in the health care sector, firms must overcome several hurdles and problems by adopting new technology. A detailed literature review was undertaken to examine many obstacles associated with the use of Big Data. A well-structured questionnaire was prepared in Likert scale to find the elements that influence big data adoption and its impact on patient satisfaction. To evaluate factors, exploratory factor analysis using SPSS 21 was performed, and Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was performed to assess key significant factors that impact patient satisfaction. The data was gathered from employees associated with the hospitals. The survey received responses from 212 participants. Following the analysis of the data, it was found that five challenging factors influences big data adoption. These are data integration, data understanding, technology and infrastructure, lack of expert and regulation barrier. These factors explained 70.36% of variance. Whereas, SEM analysis indicated that both data integration, data understanding and lack of expertise significantly affect big data adoption Furthermore, big data adoption in hospitals will help in improving patient satisfaction.","PeriodicalId":42935,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Health Management","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68995586","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data were collected from pre-determined study areas using a sample survey of 583 respondents, 11 Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), 11 Key-Informant Interviews (KIIs), and 11 In-depth Interviews (IDIs). A scale of 11 points was used to measure attitudes.\u0000Results: About 59% of the respondents (patients or carers) were between 1 to 20 years old. The difference of age of patients by sex was found statistically significant at .001 level. About 25.7% of the respondents visited an MBBS doctor and 8.1% visited a BDS dentist, and 66.2% went to traditional healers and the pharmacy. Men take more antibiotics for treatment purposes compared to their female counterparts. The difference between men and women, with regard to the treatment of common diseases, was found to be statistically significant.  Usually, new graduate doctors and traditional healers prescribe antibiotics of longer duration. The duration of prescriptions for antibiotics and type of the physician was found statistically significant. Physicians prescribed common antibiotics for upper respiratory tract infections (26%), cold and fever (21%), diarrhea (12%), STDs (9%), HTN (8%), UTIs (7.5%), diabetes (5%), and lower respiratory infections (4%). Cephalosporin (31.4%), macrolides (27.6%), quinolones (17.8%), metronidazole (13%), and penicillin (10.10%) were used. About 65.8% of the caregivers did not have any knowledge about antimicrobial resistance and the negative effects of the overuse of antibiotics.\u0000Conclusion: The majority of the respondents had poor knowledge of antimicrobial resistance and the negative effects of the overuse of antibiotics. A community-based awareness program was found important to create awareness of antimicrobial resistance and the negative effects of the overuse of antibiotics.","PeriodicalId":42935,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Health Management","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68995069","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

OOPE for hypertension care was considered catastrophic if exceeding 10% of the household’s monthly per capita expenditure. The determinants of catastrophic health expenditures were examined using a multivariate logistic regression analysis.  \u0000Results:  A total of 1,351 and 6,379 individuals reported hypertension-related hospitalization and outpatient care, respectively, in the survey. The overall hypertension-related hospitalization rate was 54 per 100,000 persons.  OOPE associated with hypertension-related hospitalisation were on an average INR 3,491 (SD 6,176) and INR 24,565 (SD 37,343) in public hospitals and private hospitals, respectively. The OOPE for hypertension related to outpatient visit was INR 277 (SD 571) in public facilities but was in the range of INR 457 (SD 556) – INR 695 (SD 1,431) based on the type of private hospitals/clinics. OOPE on medicines constituted on an average 43% (95% CI: 32-52%) and 66% (95% CI: 54-64%) of public sector hospitalisation and outpatient care respectively. The risk of catastrophic expenditure due to hypertension care was 41% among the poorest households.\u0000Conclusion: Direct expenses on drugs and diagnostic tests contribute significantly to OOPE.
