  1. Health Care & Technology Dynamics of Care in Society

  2. OBJECTIVES • IDENTIFY THE VARIOUS METHODS OF TECHNOLOGY USED IN HEALTH CARE FACILITIES • COMPARE & CONTRAST THE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES OF BIOMEDICAL TECHNOLOGY ON SOCIETY AND ON THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM • DIFFERENTIATE AMONG SOME OF THE KEY TECHNICAL, ECONOMIC, SOCIAL, MORAL & POLITICAL ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH BIOTECHNOLOGIES

  3. What is Medical Technology? • The practical application (everyday use) of the scientific knowledge produced by biomedical research CONSIDERATIONS OF TECHNOLOGY IN HEALTH CARE • COST • SAFETY • BENEFITS VS. BURDENS • AVAILABILITY & ACCESS

  4. BENEFITS • prevent or delay the onset of serious disease • provide a better diagnosis • make faster and more complete cures possible • increase safety of medical treatment • minimize undesirable side effects • promote faster recoveries from surgery • increase life expectancy • improve quality of life

  5. BURDENS • new technology usually increases both labor and capital costs • side-effects or harm from the use of technology • emphasis on specialty care over primary care & preventive services • critically ill patients are put on life support with limited decision-making abilities and little hope of full recovery • the confidentiality of patient information

  6. Medical technology includes: • Sophisticated machines PET scanners, implantable defibrillators • High tech procedures angioplasty, joint replacements • Pharmaceuticals & Biologics (a medicinal preparation made from living organisms and their products) serums, vaccines, antibiotics…

  7. Genetic and molecular advances • IT (Informational Technology) medical records • internet • telemedicine • Disease management: advances • Diabetes (insulin pumps) • Heart Disease (procedures such as coronary artery bypass graft) • End-Stage Renal Disease (Kidney Transplants) • HIV-AIDS (new medications)

  8. TYPES OF TECHNOLOGY IN HEALTH CARE

  9. 1. INFORMATIONAL TECHNOLOGY • Managing patient care management • Quality improvement • Cost containment Think about how the internet has allowed patients to be more active participants in their own health care!

  10. HEALTH IT 1. Accurate and complete information about a patient's health.2. The ability to better coordinate the care they give.3. A way to securely share information with patients and their family. 4. Information to help doctors diagnose health problems sooner, reduce medical errors, and provide safer care at lower costs.

  11. Ex: Telemedicine - consultation among physicians at a distance, Electronic medical records…Informational Access through: • Types of Computers • Desktop • Laptop • Tablet • Personal digital assistant (PDA) • Smart phone

  12. Electronic Medical Records

  13. 2. DIAGNOSTIC & MONITORING TECHNOLOGY • To identify or diagnose illness or injury • To monitor or measure progress • To assist in treatment planning

  14. EKG

  15. X-RAY • X-RAYaka (radiograph) is a noninvasive medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions.

  16. CT scans of internal organs, bones, soft tissue and blood vessels provide greater clarity and reveal more details than regular x-ray exams. CT scans use x-ray & sophisticated computers to produce multiple images of the inside of the body. CT Scan

  17. MRI MRI

  18. Fetal profile 1st trimester Ultrasound • Ultrasound imaging, aka sonography, involves exposing part of the body to high-frequency sound waves to produce pictures of the inside of the body.

  19. 3. LIFE SUPPORT TECHNOLOGY • Used to maintain a patient's bodily function Oxygen

  20. Ventilator

  21. Heart-Lung Machine Dialysis

  22. Heart-Lung Machine

  23. Feeding Tube

  24. 4. GENETIC TECHNOLOGY • Uses the power of the genetic code to treat human disease

  25. Gene therapy Gene therapy

  26. Stem cells

  27. Cloning

  28. 5. THERAPEUTIC TECHNOLOGY • Uses technological procedures & equipment for disease treatment and rehabilitation

  29. Robotic surgery is a technique in which a surgeon performs surgery using a computer that remotely controls very small instruments attached to a robot.

  30. Insulin pump

  31. Prosthetics

  32. Pharmaceuticals

  33. Surgical Tools & Settings Telesurgery: surgical care from a distance

  34. Anesthesia Epidural General

  35. Radiation Therapy
