Health care organization modeling

Intensive Care Unit (ICU) capacity management is essential to provide high-quality healthcare for critically ill patients. Yet, consensus on the most favorable ICU design is lacking, especially whether ICUs should deliver dedicated or non-dedicated care. The decision for dedicated or non-dedicated ICU design considers a trade-off in the degree of specialization for individual patient care and efficient use of resources for society.

Ebook "Service business model innovation in healthcare and hospital management: Models, strategies, tools" demonstrates how to successfully manage and lead healthcare institutions by employing the logic of business model innovation to gain competitive advantages. Since clerk-like routines in professional organizations tend to overlook patient and service-centered healthcare solutions, it challenges the view that competition and collaboration in the healthcare sector should not only incorporate single-end services, therapies or diagnosis related groups.

But what does knowing about a culture’s explanatory models have to do with getting your organization’s message to a hard-to-reach audience? Everything, if your message is about health- related beliefs and behaviors. Often, we try to educate or to convince people to act a certain way using our explanatory models, instead of theirs. If you want to help a community improve its health, you need to understand the way its community members think. If you want to get the word out to a cultural community, knowing something about that community’s health care beliefs and behaviors is essential.

Why is the health promoting school model programme organized the way it is? We have tried to organize the health promoting schools model programme in a way that characterises all constituents of the school structure as thoroughly as possible. This was supposed to help schools make these constituents well-defined parts of health promotion programmes. There could only be a few steps from such programmes to the schools’ individual projects that could under certain circumstances be called school curricula....

Historically, the organization and design of paid labour have tended to be sex-typed. Equipment, tools and spaces used for paid labour have tended to be designed for men (Courville et al., 1992; Chatigny et al., 1995). Work scheduling has presumed constant availability of the worker, with no constraints arising from responsibility for child care or elder care (Prévost and Messing, 2001). Occupational health and safety standards have often used male models; for example, most toxicological data come from males (Setlow et al., 1998).

We find that the process measures of the quality of the prenatal and child care processes are positively and significantly associated with child growth. Structural quality and access variables, however, are not associated with child growth. These findings suggest that investments in improving prenatal and child care process quality in existing facilities in Indonesia may be an effective way to address conditions that result in a child’s inability to reach full physical potential. This paper is organized in four sections. We first present our model for analysis and its assumptions.

For at least five decades this unique non-suppurative sequel to group A streptococcal infections has been a concern of the World Health Organization and its member countries.

Without doubt, appropriate public health control programs and optimal medical care reduce the burden of disease (1–6)....

It was during the Depression that hospitals band- ed together to offer prepaid coverage to citizens. Prepaid hospital coverage was a way for hospitals to avoid the financial failure that befell the banking industry. The approach worked so well that doctors followed suit a few years later and Blue Cross Blue Shield organizations were born. Little did anyone know that the seeds for runaway costs eighty years later had been planted. Prepaid, employer-provided insurance quickly dominated the health care landscape.
