Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been highlighted as one of the most important public health problems due to sharply climbing incidence and prevalence. To efficiently attenuate the disease burden and improve the disease management, not only active and effective treatment should be administrated, but also comprehensive follow-up nursing management with innovative and evolving spirits should be implemented. Thus dynamic changes of diseases could be acquired in time and patients are under appropriate medical instruction as soon as possible. This editorial is based on quickly developing medical big data resources and advanced internet techniques, from both aspects of patients and health care providers, briefly talking about integrated management strategy of CKD and its future development in China.
Chronic kidney diease has a high incidence. It is a major disease that seriously endangers human health. The integrated management of chronic kidney disease, through etiological treatment of chronic kidney disease, delaying the deterioration of renal function, and the combination of hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis and kidney transplantation for end-stage kidney disease treatment, is a scientific and effective full-course management of chronic kidney disease. The integrated management of chronic kidney disease is the key to reduce the mortality and disability rates. At the same time, it is a more important and far-reaching task to emphasize early popularization of science, screening, prevention and intervention to reduce the incidence of kidney disease.
Objective To investigate the implementation and promotion of integrated management of lung cancer (IMLC) in domestic hospitals. Methods An on-site questionnaire survey was administered to participating healthcare professionals, with 311 valid responses collected out of 400 distributed (response rate: 77.8%). Results (1) Although 43.72% of respondents considered the current level of IMLC implementation to be low, 97.42% expressed willingness to adopt it. (2) A lack of specialized disease managers was reported by 81.67% of the respondents, while 61.41% identified limited institutional support, inadequate teamwork, and the absence of specialized managers as major barriers to IMLC implementation. (3) The absence of a professional information management system was reported by 81.34% of respondents. Additionally, 72.66% indicated that insufficient human and material resources, lack of such a system, and low motivation among healthcare staff hindered further implementation of IMLC. (4) The majority of respondents (91.63%) believed that implementing IMLC could improve patient compliance and satisfaction.Conclusion Integrated management of lung cancer meets patient needs and enhances satisfaction, but its wider adoption requires supportive hospital policies and resources.
