This book presents a general conceptual framework to translate principles of system science and engineering to service design. Services are co-created immaterial, heterogeneous, and perishable state changes. A service system includes the intended benefit to the customer and the structure and processes that accomplish this benefit. The primary focus is on the part of the service system that can reproduce such processes, called here a Service Machine, and methodological guidelines on how to analyze and design them. While the benefit and the process are designed based on the domain knowledge of each respective field, service production systems have common properties. The Service Machine is a me...
Combining and integrating cross-institutional data remains a challenge for both researchers and those involved in patient care. Patient-generated data can contribute precious information to healthcare professionals by enabling monitoring under normal life conditions and also helping patients play a more active role in their own care. This book presents the proceedings of MEDINFO 2019, the 17th World Congress on Medical and Health Informatics, held in Lyon, France, from 25 to 30 August 2019. The theme of this year’s conference was ‘Health and Wellbeing: E-Networks for All’, stressing the increasing importance of networks in healthcare on the one hand, and the patient-centered perspectiv...
There are growing questions regarding the safety, quality, risk management, and costs of PCC teams, their training and preparedness, and their implications on the welfare of patients and families. This innovative book, authored by an international authorship, will highlight the best practices in improving survival while paving a roadmap for the expected changes in the next 10 years as healthcare undergoes major transformation and reform. An invited group of experts in the field will participate in this project to provide the timeliest and informative approaches to how to deal with this global health challenge. The book will be indispensable to all who treat pediatric cardiac disease and will provide important information about managing the risk of patients with pediatric and congenital cardiac disease in the three domains of: the analysis of outcomes, the improvement of quality, and the safety of patients.
Service science constitutes an interdisciplinary approach to systematic innovation in service systems, integrating managerial, social, legal, and engineering aspects to address the theoretical and practical challenges of the services industry and its economy. This book contains the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Exploring Services Science (IESS), held in Porto, Portugal, in February 2013. This year, the conference theme was Enhancing Service System Fundamentals and Experiences, chosen to address the current need to explore enhanced methods, approaches, and techniques for a more sustainable and comprehensive economy and society. The 19 full and 9 short papers accepted for IESS were selected from 78 submissions and presented ideas and results related to innovation, services discovery, services engineering, and services management, as well as the application of services in information technology, business, healthcare, and transportation.
Most of the current literature on healthcare operations management is focused on importing principles and methods from manufacturing. The evidence of success is scattered and nowhere near what has been achieved in other industries. This book develops the idea that the logic of production, and production systems in healthcare is significantly different. A line of thing that acknowledges the ingenious characteristics of health service production is developed. This book builds on a managerial segmentation of healthcare based on fundamental demand-supply constellations. Demand can be classified with the variables urgency, severity, and randomness. Supply is constrained by medical technology (acc...
Vuoden 2023 alusta suomalaisten sosiaali- ja terveyspalvelut siirtyivät kunnilta hyvinvointialueille. Tämä maan suurin hallinnollinen uudistus oli pitkän poliittisen prosessin tulos. Mutta miten uuteen sote-malliin päädyttiin? Miten uudistuksessa käy palveluiden saatavuudelle, tehokkuudelle ja tasa-arvolle? Millaiseksi muodostuu kuntien, hyvinvointi-alueiden ja valtion suhde? Soten saldo? kuvaa uudistuksen sisällöllisiä ja rakenteellisia ratkaisuja sekä vuosia kestänyttä vastarintaa, joka viime vaiheissa kiihtyi poliittiseksi valtapeliksi. Kirjan loppuluku sisältää yhteenvedon uudistuksella saavutetuista hyödyistä ja niistä esteistä, joiden kanssa sen toimeenpanijat joutuvat vielä kamppailemaan.
Tietojohtaminen on tiedon ja tiedolla johtamista. Kirjassa kehitetään tiedonkäsityksen malli ja ydintehtävämalli. Tietojohtamisen tapausesimerkkinä käytetään SOTEA eli sosiaalihuoltoa ja terveydenhuoltoa mukaan lukien meneillään oleva SOTE- uudistus. Kirjaa voidaan pitää pienimuotoisena tutkielmana tietojohtamisen pirulliseen maailmaan. Teos soveltuu käsikirjaksi alan asiantuntijoille sekä oppimateriaaliksi. Toimialamurros on käynnissä ja ajatusten ristipölytys on tarpeen.
Hyvinvointi- ja terveyshyöty on yhtenäisenä näkökulmana tuore, mutta se sisältää paljon tunnettuja haasteita, ongelmia ja kehittämiskohteita. Pureudun hyvinvointiin ja terveyteen ennen muuta hyötynäkökulmasta. Keskeisen hyötyjän pitää olla kansalainen, asiakas. Sen vuoksi kirjan alaotsikkona on ajopuusta aktiiviksi. Vuonna 2016 kirjoitin BoD-kirjan Soteuudistus - pirullinen ongelma alaotsikolla ajopuu tai projekti. Vuonna 2017 jatkoin osittain soteteemaa aiheella Tietojohtaminen ja tapaus Sote.
Las transformaciones más significativas derivan de los adelantos que se han producido en los terrenos de la tecnología y la ciencia médica, en la que se incluye la anestesiología. Como resultado se logra un conocimiento más profundo y se cuenta con medios cada vez más eficientes en el combate de la enfermedad, así como con medidas más sólidas para prevenir y obtener mejores resultados. El panorama que se vislumbra para el futuro es más alentador. Con el desarrollo científico y tecnológico son más las posibilidades diagnósticas y terapéuticas. Es indispensable incorporar el tema de seguridad y calidad de la atención de los pacientes para prevenir y evitar que sufran daños que...
