Combining conceptual, pragmatic and operational approaches, this edited collection addresses the demand for knowledge and understanding of IT in the healthcare sector. With new technology outbreaks, our vision of healthcare has been drastically changed, switching from a ‘traditional’ path to a digitalized one. Providing an overview of the role of IT in the healthcare sector, The Digitization of Healthcare illustrates the potential benefits and challenges for all those involved in delivering care to the patient. The incursion of IT has disrupted the value chain and changed business models for companies working in the health sector, and also raised ethical issues and new paradigms about delivering care. This book illustrates the rise of patient empowerment through the development of patient communities such as PatientLikeMe, and medical collaborate platforms such as DockCheck, thus providing a necessary tool to patients, caregivers and academics alike.

Human resources are the social capital of a firm or business, based on trust as well as on expertise, values, and cultural diversity. This calls for cross-cultural knowledge - an understanding of gender issues and individual differences in the social capital of the firm and society. The dialogue between women entrepreneurship and social capital theory/ research strengthens the fragmented voice of women entrepreneurship, providing the landscape for women entrepreneurs as creators of, and created by, social capital. It indicates how women entrepreneurs appear to have a special position in forming, developing, and reorganizing the social capital in the business world. This book explores social ...

Devant le foisonnement de nouvelles approches pédagogiques, des besoins des apprenants et de l’intégration des technologies de l’information et de la communication (TIC) dans le contexte postsecondaire (cégep et université), une question demeure : en quoi et comment l’hybridité d’une formation améliore l’apprentissage? Cet ouvrage présente un état des lieux sur la formation à distance (FAD) et, plus spécifiquement, sur l’hybridité de celle-ci du point de vue de la recherche en contexte postsecondaire. Rassemblant des textes de professeurs, chargés de cours, conseillers pédagogiques et autres professionnels de l’éducation, il traite des conditions à mettre en place pour favoriser le développement de cours hybrides dans un programme de formation en enseignement supérieur, des modalités d’une formation hybride en recherche qui favorise le développement professionnel des enseignants au postsecondaire ou encore l’application de la comodalité pour vivre une expérience universitaire hybride.
