Abstract:

Health and care services need to be optimised to meet the future demand that will be placed on them. This will require a closer coupling of service and research, whereby innovations in services can be rapidly tested and evaluated, and feed back into a continual process of service optimisation. The timely delivery of information from services into research is critical to this cycle. However, there are serious problems with the evidence on which healthcare and public health practice is based: it is expensive to produce; it takes a long time to produce; it takes a long time to influence professio

The Veterans Health Administration of the United States Department of Veteran Affairs has been reported to have a large backlog of patients waiting for healthcare services. The root cause of the issue has been pinpointed to flaws in the VHA's Healthcare Eligibility Center process and software systems.

Providing an interoperability infrastructure for Electronic Healthcare Records (EHRs) is on the agenda of many national and regional eHealth initiatives.

XDS describes how to share EHRs in a community of healthcare enterprises and XCA describes how EHRs are shared across communities. However, currently no solution addresses some of the important challenges of cross community exchange environments.

Abstract:

In the United States, the health care sector is 20 years behind in the use of information technology to improve the process of health care delivery as compared to other sectors. Patients have to deliver their data over and over again to every health professional they see. Most health care facilities act as data repositories with limited capabilities of data analysis or data exchange. A remaining challenge is, how do we encourage the use of IT in the health care sector that will improve care coordination, save lives, make patients more involved in decision-making, and save money for the America

Abstract:

Sweden has the ambition to be the world leading country leveraging the opportunities of digitalization in the healthcare sector. In parallel, the Swedish Research Council highlights that conducting more clinical studies is essential to improve the healthcare. Henceforth, considering the need for increased operational efficiency as an enabler for increased clinical activity, a digital transformation of the industry was identified as a potential catalyst. The study thus utilizes a cognitive work analysis framework to investigate the potential benefits and risks of digitizing the functional opera

Potentialen att tillhandhålla stora mängder information under hela byggprocessen är något BIM(byggnadsinformationsmodellering på svenska) är mest förknippat med. Dock är den praktiskaanvändningen av BIM i förvaltningen minimal vid jämförelse mot projekteringen.Vårdbyggnader är otroligt viktiga och komplicerade byggnader i samhället som konstant behöverunderhållas och detta arbete tar upp BIM och relationsmodellernas potential att fungera som ettkomplement till dagens och framtidens förvaltningssystem.Studien har fokuserat på att ta reda på hur förvaltningen för vårdbyggnader arbetar idag medBI

Abstract:

During the past few years, various healthcare models and e-Health 2.0 technologies have been developed in order to effectively deliver the right information to the right process to provide effective and efficient healthcare services. On the other hand, healthcare delivery is evolving from disease-centered to patient-centered where patients are active participants in their healthcare delivery. Thus communications and collaboration among different healthcare actors is taking place on a much larger scale. There is also an increasing demand for personalized health systems facilitating the effectiv

Abstract:

Many healthcare organisations face repetitive incidents because organisations tend to fail to learn from the past. Learning from incidents (LFI) in healthcare is a process through which healthcare professionals and the organisation as a whole seek to understand adverse events that have taken place. The LFI process consists of five main steps: data acquisition, investigation and analysis, planning interventions, implementing interventions, and evaluations. In order to reduce the reoccurrence of incidents, it is important that LFI processes are improved. As a prerequisite, it is necessary to gai

Abstract:

<p> The efforts to improve health care delivery usually involve studies and analysis of patient populations and healthcare systems. In this dissertation, I present the research conducted in the following areas: identifying patient groups, improving treatments for specific conditions by using statistical as well as data mining techniques, and developing new operation research models to increase system efficiency from the health institutes’ perspective. The results provide better understanding of high risk patient groups, more accuracy in detecting disease’ correlations and practical
