Exploring the effects of eHealth service innovationInforma UK Limited - Tập 4 - Trang 212-223 - 2014
Sofie Wass, Bertil Carlsson, Vivian Vimarlund, Seher Korkmaz, Tero Shemeikka, Anikó Vég
To analyse the impact of implementation and use of eHealth services is fraught
with difficulty, and there is often a gap between expected and identified
outcomes. In this paper, we identify innovation effects of an eHealth service by
applying a framework that focusses on the expected coherent impacts of
implementing an IT innovation and contributes to the body of knowledge on
tracking innovation e... hiện toàn bộ
PERiMETER – pseudonymization and personal metadata encryption for privacy-preserving searchable documentsInforma UK Limited - Tập 1 - Trang 46-57 - 2012
Johannes Heurix, Michael Karlinger, Thomas Neubauer
The average costs of data leakage are steadily on the rise. Especially in
healthcare, the disclosure of sensitive information may have unfavorable
consequences for the patient. As a consequence, several data security and access
control mechanisms have been introduced, ranging from data encryption to
intrusion detection or role-based access control, doing a great work in
protecting sensitive inform... hiện toàn bộ

Sensitivity to model structure: a comparison of compartmental models in epidemiologyInforma UK Limited - Tập 5 - Trang 178-191 - 2016
Sheetal Prakash Silal, Francesca Little, Karen I Barnes, Lisa Jane White
Compartmental models have provided a framework for understanding disease
transmission dynamics for over 100 years. The predictions from these models are
often policy relevant and need to be robust to model assumptions, parameter
values and model structure. A selection of compartmental models with the same
parameter values but different model structures (ranging from simple structures
to complex on... hiện toàn bộ
Hospital and skilled nursing facility patient flows during Hurricane Katrina and the Midwest floods of 2008Informa UK Limited - Tập 4 - Trang 29-40 - 2014
Kun Zhang, David H Howard
Simulation and surge studies benefit from realistic assumptions about changes in
patient flows during disasters. We sought to determine the impact of Hurricane
Katrina and the 2008 Midwest floods on hospital and skilled nursing facility
(SNF) discharge patterns. We used Medicare claims to identify beneficiaries
admitted to hospitals or SNFs in the affected areas for each disaster. We used
Cox prop... hiện toàn bộ
A bioethical framework for health systems activity: a conceptual exploration applying ‘systems thinking’Informa UK Limited - Tập 3 - Trang 124-135 - 2014
Carleigh B Krubiner, Adnan A Hyder
Recognizing that the health system is a complex and dynamic network of actors
and activities, this paper seeks to push the field of bioethics to develop a
more holistic approach from the health systems perspective. Expanding upon the
work of existing public health frameworks and drawing upon concepts from related
areas such as governance, human rights, and organizational ethics, our
provisional li... hiện toàn bộ
Health care: a case of hypercomplexity?Informa UK Limited - Tập 4 - Trang 104-110 - 2014
Jonathan H Klein, Terry Young
This position paper argues that the lack of take-up of management science (MS)
modelling in health care is a particularly severe example of a more general
problem for MS, articulated by many authorities. We relate this severity to the
extreme complexity of the health care domain, which might be termed
‘hypercomplexity’. We argue that, for a variety of reasons, the health care
domain is different t... hiện toàn bộ
