New Hemodialysis Research from First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University Outlined (Application of a Computerized Decision Support System to Develop Care Strategies for Elderly Hemodialysis Patients)

2021 JUL 15 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Hospital & Nursing Home Daily -- Data detailed on hemodialysis have been presented. According to news reporting from First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University by NewsRx journalists, research stated, “In this paper, the strategy of elderly haemodialysis patients’ care is analysed by the computer’s decision system to conduct an in-depth research machine.”

The news editors obtained a quote from the research from First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University: “Maintenance haemodialysis patients have a high demand for continuation care, and healthcare workers should provide personalized and specialized seamless continuation care services for patients according to patients’ needs, by reasonably using the hospital, community, and other health resources and with the help of emerging network technologies, such as information platforms and wearable devices to prolong the survival period of patients and improve their self-management ability and quality of life. The service provision and compensation strategy of the combined healthcare model should be optimized to improve the health protection of the elderly and promote health equity. On the one hand, it should target strengthening the service provision of healthcare integration, guide the elderly to reasonably choose the healthcare integration model, and pay attention to the spiritual and cultural needs and end-of-life care services for the elderly. On the other hand, we should expand the financing channels of medical insurance, optimize the design of compensation mechanisms, explore the role of health risk sharing, and accelerate the development of long-term care insurance, independent of basic medical insurance. The reliability of the scale was found to be 0.916 for the total Cronbach alpha coefficient, 0.798-0.919 for each dimension, and 0.813 for the fold-half reliability of the scale; the validity indicated that the correlation coefficient range of each article day with the total scale score was 0.27-0.72, and the correlation coefficient range of each dimension with the total scale was 0.56-0.72. The validation factor analysis was used to verify the structure of the scale.”

According to the news editors, the research concluded: “The validation factor analysis indexes met the fitting criteria after correction. The model fitted better with the actual model after correction, indicating that the scale has good reliability.”
