Chronic Disease Patient

Through a case study of a child with cystic fibrosis, the interactions among various domains of health have been discussed—namely, biomedical, physical, psychological/behavioural, and social. In pediatrics, development is another key domain relevant to the management of a chronic disease. An individualised management plan for this case has been outlined, and consideration of this framework may be worthwhile when managing other paediatric patients with chronic disease. Patient empowerment and parental education, as well as good co-ordination of health service delivery, are imperative to holistic patient care.

Chronic diseases introduce challenges for the patients to manage the changing requirements of the disease. Patient empowerment activities are a critical component to assist patients in their long-term care journey. In order to be effective, patient empowerment tools need to be well-integrated with the chronic disease management tools used at the clinical sites. This paper explores and analyzes the exploitation of HL7 FHIR to design and implement an interoperable patient empowerment platform that can be seamlessly integrated with external chronic disease management and Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems

Technology Solution

In an environment of escalating healthcare costs, chronic disease management is particularly challenging, since, by definition such diseases have no foreseeable cure and if poorly managed typically lead to further, complicated secondary health issues, which ultimately only serve to exacerbate cost. Diabetes is one of the leading chronic diseases and its prevalence continues to rise exponentially. Thus it behooves all to focus on solutions that can result in superior management of this disease. Hence, this article presents findings from a longitudinal exploratory case study that examined the application of a pervasive technology solution; a mobile phone, to provide superior diabetes self-care. Notably, the benefits of a pervasive technology solution for supporting superior self-care in the context of chronic disease are made especially apparent when viewed through the rich lens of Actor-Network Theory (ANT) and thus the paper underscores the importance of using ANT in such contexts to facilitate a deeper understanding of all potential advantages.

Purpose Drawing on the taxonomy of patient empowerment and a sense of community (SoC), the purpose of this paper is to analyze the factors that impact the intention of the individual to continue using online social health support community for their chronic disease management. Design/methodology/approach A survey design was used to collect the data from multiple online social health support groups related to chronic disease management. The survey yielded a total of 246 usable responses. Findings The primary findings from this study indicate that the informational support – not the nurturant support such as emotional, network, and esteem support – are the major types of support people are seeking from an online social health support community. This research also found that patient empowerment and SoC would positively impact their intention to continue using the online health community. Research limitations/implications This study utilized a survey design method may limit precision and realism. Also, there is the self-selection bias as the respondents self-selected themselves to take the survey. Practical implications The findings can help the community managers or webmasters to design strategies for the promotion and diffusion of online social health group among patient of chronic disease. Those strategies should focus on patient’s empowerment through action facilitating and social support and through creating a SoC. Originality/value An innovative research model integrates patient empowerment and a SoC to study patient’s chronic disease management through online social health groups to fill the existing research gap.

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease and has the potential for complications that affect the entire body so that it requires a comprehensive approach. This means that the management of DMT2 must involve various parties, both medical, paramedic, patient, family and community. One strategy for managing DMT2 is Prolanis (Chronic Disease Management Program) which is a diabetes support group at Jetis II Health Center. To find out the success of Prolanis implementation, an evaluation of the benefits of the diabetes support group is needed.Objective: To find out the benefits obtained from participating in the diabetes support group in Prolanis at the Jetis II Bantul Health Center.Method: A qualitative descriptive study with a case study approach. Data were obtained from patients with DMT2 members of Prolanis (Chronic Disease Management Program) and officers of the Jetis II health center in Bantul Regency. Retrieval of data in patients with focus group discussions on 30 resource persons divided into 3 groups. Other data is by conducting independent interviews with 6 informants of the puskesmas staff involved in the diabetes support group activities of Prolanis.Results: The benefits obtained from the diabetes support group are grouped into 3 categories namely biopsychosocial support, information, and individual empowerment. Most patients benefit from obtaining biopsychosocial support from the Prolanis group. Benefits for DMT2 patients Prolanis members get information in the second place and the last is individual empowerment at least the benefits are felt.Conclusion: The benefits of a diabetes support group for DMT2 patients in Prolanis members are to get biopsychosocial support, information, and individual empowerment.
