In the past, elderly patients were given artificial airway
technologies, such as a tracheostomy tube, to assist with their
breathing. However, thanks to the advances in medical technologies,
older patients now may receive respiratory care while enjoying the
comfort of their own home. Noninvasive Ventilation Technologies and
Healthcare for Geriatric Patients is a pivotal reference source
that provides vital research on the models and processes of care
for elderly subjects that require noninvasive ventilation as well
as the development of technological solutions. While highlighting
topics such as elderly care, respiratory failure, and home care,
this publication explores healthcare management as well as the
methods of professional homecare medical services. This book is
ideally designed for physicians, nurses, pharmacists, senior health
technicians, hospital administrators, clinical directors,
laboratories, medical practitioners, nurses, and medical students.
Technological innovation continues to be present in all areas of
our lives, offering seemingly endless possibilities. As technology
is increasingly implemented in healthcare applications, it is
necessary to understand whether users respond to a predefined
organizational strategy of model of care or whether they will
become wholly dependent on the healthcare technology. This
understanding is especially crucial when dealing with the
possibility of generating inequities, especially with individuals
that are elderly. Exploring the Role of ICTs in Healthy Aging is a
collection of innovative research that proposes the detailed study
of a strategic framework for the development of technological
innovation in healthcare and for its adoption by health
organizations. While highlighting topics including emotional
health, quality of life, and telemedicine, this book is ideally
designed for physicians, nurses, hospital staff, medical
professionals, home care providers, hospital administrators,
academicians, students, and researchers. Moreover, the book will
provide insights and support executives concerned with the
management of expertise, knowledge, information, and organizational
development in different types of healthcare units at various
levels.
Population aging is a growing challenge worldwide. As such, new
models of provision, organization, and allocation of resources,
particularly in healthcare, are needed. As the self-care and
long-term care needs of this age group become more prevalent, the
importance of improved health services and effective health
management strategies are apparent. The Handbook of Research on
Health Systems and Organizations for an Aging Society provides
emerging research exploring the challenges and opportunities for
the development and management of health systems and organizations
in relation to people aged 65 and over. Featuring coverage on a
broad range of topics such as emotional wellness, long-term care,
and professional caregiving, this book is ideally designed for
health technicians, doctors, nurses, pharmacists, hospital
administrators, clinical directors, laboratory technicians, medical
professionals, researchers, and students.
