Frequent users of the emergency department (ED) who contribute to ED overcrowding are a well-known public health issue. An integrative and multidisciplinary approach through case management (CM) is the intervention of choice to reduce the number of ED visits. This strategy seems to work particularly well among patients with psychiatric comorbidities and could also be implemented in the prehospital setting in collaboration with emergency medical services and primary care physicians. The actual implementation of CM has however not yet progressed. Ongoing studies aimed at proving the economic and medical efficiency of CM could lead to a wider implementation in the future.

Enhancing covert communication in NOMA systems with joint security and covert design.
PLoS One
January 2025
School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Hanoi University of Science and Technology, Hanoi, Vietnam.
The explosion of Internet-of-Thing enables several interconnected devices but also gives rise chance for unauthorized parties to compromise sensitive information through wireless communication systems. Covert communication therefore has emerged as a potential candidate for ensuring data privacy in conjunction with physical layer transmission to render two lines of defense. In this paper, we aim to enhance the individual transmission of nearby users in non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) systems under scenarios of an eavesdropper who monitors covert transmission before decoding covert information.
