Both the MIC and the Belgium e-Health Conference share new trends in health informatics and present many timely ideas and practical proposals. They are directed at healthcare professionals who lead the transformation of healthcare by using information and knowledge. This combined proceedings describes a follow up of research projects and the development of standards for “e-Health in Belgium and in the Netherlands”. It covers topical subjects such as nursing and care process, the electronic patient record and knowledge bases, as well as ICT assessment.
This book reveals how economic restrictions and limited healthcare resources, combined with growing care demands due to advanced technology and more care options, have to a great extent contributed to increased workloads for healthcare professionals and put them under pressure to prioritize their work. This has led to the rationing of care, i.e., to decision-making processes on the allocation of scarce resources, especially human resources, and on which care activities take priority over others; in turn, these processes have led to unfinished or missed care, which has serious implications for quality of care and patient safety. Concerns related to nursing shortages and lean staffing practice...
Intended for nurses and informatics experts working with informatics applications in nursing care, administration, research and education.

A systematic analysis of health workforce skill-mix innovations, implementation and outcomes for individuals, patients and health systems.
Examining the ways and extent to which systemic factors affect health outcomes with regard to quality, affordability and access to curative healthcare, this explorative book compares tax-funded Beveridge systems and insurance-based Bismarck systems. Containing contributions from national experts, The Law and Policy of Healthcare Financing charts and compares the merits of healthcare systems throughout 11 countries, from the UK to Colombia.
Health and human services currently face a series of challenges – such as aging populations, chronic diseases and new endemics – that require highly complex responses, and take place in multiple care environments including acute medicine, chronic care facilities and the community. Accordingly, most modern health care interventions are now seen as ‘complex interventions’ – activities that contain a number of component parts with the potential for interactions between them which, when applied to the intended target population, produce a range of possible and variable outcomes. This in turn requires methodological developments that also take into account changing values and attitudes ...
A compilation of both landmark historic and contemporary papers, illustrating the inception and evolution of nursing informatics.

An essential tool for nurses seeking to attain credentials as Nursing Informatics Specialists.
This title provides professionals who care for the dying with a user-friendly guide on how to render the best possible treatment.
Standing, as it does, at the intersection of the information, computer, social and behavioral sciences and healthcare, and dealing with the resources, devices and methods required to optimize the acquisition, storage, retrieval and use of information in health and biomedicine, nursing informatics is increasingly crucial in modern healthcare. This book presents selected papers from the Twelfth Nursing Informatics Congress (NI2014), held in Taipei, Taiwan in June 2014, and entitled 'East meets West eSMART+'. The aim of the congress is to provide a single, high-profile, internationally renowned forum for research in the theory and practice of nursing informatics. The comprehensive scientific pr...
