Integration Of Internet Of Things And Health Recommender Systems, Moonkyung Yang
Integration Of Internet Of Things And Health Recommender Systems, Moonkyung Yang
Electronic Theses, Projects, and Dissertations
The Internet of Things (IoT) has become a part of our lives and has provided many enhancements to day-to-day living. In this project, IoT in healthcare is reviewed. IoT-based healthcare is utilized in remote health monitoring, observing chronic diseases, individual fitness programs, helping the elderly, and many other healthcare fields. There are three main architectures of smart IoT healthcare: Three-Layer Architecture, Service-Oriented Based Architecture (SoA), and The Middleware-Based IoT Architecture. Depending on the required services, different IoT architecture are being used. In addition, IoT healthcare services, IoT healthcare service enablers, IoT healthcare applications, and IoT healthcare services focusing on Smartwatch …
Managing Incomplete Data In The Patient Discharge Summary To Support Correct Hospital Reimbursements, Fadi Naser Eddin
Managing Incomplete Data In The Patient Discharge Summary To Support Correct Hospital Reimbursements, Fadi Naser Eddin
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
The patient discharge summary is a document that conveys the patient's story to other healthcare practitioners, external users, and, most importantly from a financial perspective, health insurers. A defect or incompleteness in the patient's discharge summary will result in delays in the collection process through denial of the entire or partial reimbursement claim or, in the best-case scenario, delay until the discharge summary issue is resolved. The purpose of this project is to address the issue of the incompleteness of discharge summary from the perspective of healthcare providers, with the goal of understanding, diagnosing, and intervening in the research problem. …
Managing Health Locus Of Control In Patient-Provider Relationships, James Wallace
Managing Health Locus Of Control In Patient-Provider Relationships, James Wallace
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Patient locus of control is a strong determinant of health outcomes, yet health care professionals do not typically address it in care plans. In fact, management of most medical conditions is hindered because the treating physician has little information about the patient’s locus of control. This research addresses the question “How can locus of control be used to enable health care practitioners to improve medical outcomes?”
Research Methodology. Using an engaged scholarship approach incorporating the Elaborated Action Design Research methodology, the research drives the guided, emergent design of a novel protocol and two separate artifacts for management of health locus …

Multilateration Index., Chip Lynch
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
We present an alternative method for pre-processing and storing point data, particularly for Geospatial points, by storing multilateration distances to fixed points rather than coordinates such as Latitude and Longitude. We explore the use of this data to improve query performance for some distance related queries such as nearest neighbor and query-within-radius (i.e. “find all points in a set P within distance d of query point q”). Further, we discuss the problem of “Network Adequacy” common to medical and communications businesses, to analyze questions such as “are at least 90% of patients living within 50 miles of a covered emergency …
Two Essays On Leveraging Analytics To Improve Healthcare, Deepika Gopukumar
Two Essays On Leveraging Analytics To Improve Healthcare, Deepika Gopukumar
Theses and Dissertations
The healthcare cost has continued to increase over the past few years despite various policies, efforts, and initiatives taken by the government. It is still projected to grow over the next few years by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Readmissions have been a major contributor to the increase in costs and have always been a contributing factor. To get a perspective, considering the fact that at least 9% of individuals who had COVID-19 were likely to get readmitted shortly, according to a study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) COVID-19 response team, along with …
Meaningful Use Criteria And Staff Accountability In An Office Setting, Marcia Ionie Pender
Meaningful Use Criteria And Staff Accountability In An Office Setting, Marcia Ionie Pender
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Proper documentation for meaningful use (MU) criteria within electronic health records (EHRs) was identified as an issue for office staff at a local primary care office in a metropolitan area of Central Florida. The project question addressed the local gap in knowledge about MU standards necessary to ensure correct documentation of EHRs. The purpose of this doctoral project was to provide an educational program for staff to ensure compliance with the HITECH Act of 2009. Lewin’s Change Theory and Knowles Theory of Adult learning were the conceptual foundations for the educational program. The project question was to determine whether a …
Medical Practitioners’ Intention To Use Secure Electronic Medical Records In Healthcare Organizations, Omar Enrique Sangurima
Medical Practitioners’ Intention To Use Secure Electronic Medical Records In Healthcare Organizations, Omar Enrique Sangurima
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Medical practitioners have difficulty fully implementing secure electronic medical records (EMRs). Clinicians and medical technologists alike need to identify motivational factors behind secure EMR implementation to assure the safety of patient data. Grounded in the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology model, the purpose of this quantitative, correlational study was to examine the relationship between medical practitioners’ perceptions of performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, and the intention to use secure EMRs in healthcare organizations. Survey data (N = 126) were collected from medical practitioners from the northeastern United States. The results of the multiple regression …
Impact Of Information Breaches On Health Care Records, Anton Antony Arockiasamy
Impact Of Information Breaches On Health Care Records, Anton Antony Arockiasamy
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Although there were almost 3.5 million reported information breaches of health care data in the first quarter of 2019, health care providers do not know the extent of digital and nondigital breaches of patient medical records. The purpose of this quantitative, comparative study was to identify the difference between the individual patient records affected by digital versus nondigital breaches for three types of health care entities in the United States, health care providers, health care plans, and health care clearinghouses. Allman’s privacy regulation theory, the National Institute of Standards and Technology Privacy Framework, and ecological systems theory comprised the theoretical …

An Automated Method To Enrich And Expand Consumer Health Vocabularies Using Glove Word Embeddings, Mohammed Ibrahim
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Clear language makes communication easier between any two parties. However, a layman may have difficulty communicating with a professional due to not understanding the specialized terms common to the domain. In healthcare, it is rare to find a layman knowledgeable in medical jargon, which can lead to poor understanding of their condition and/or treatment. To bridge this gap, several professional vocabularies and ontologies have been created to map laymen medical terms to professional medical terms and vice versa. Many of the presented vocabularies are built manually or semi-automatically requiring large investments of time and human effort and consequently the slow …
