| capella university healthcare management: An Administrative Compendium on Trends for Identifying Adequate Blood Donation by African Americans Bruce M. Williams MS MS HCA, 2015-05-08 The blood collection business was chosen because the arena is central to any effort to save lives with blood and blood products. The field needs improvement and innovation. There is not a lot of data on this sector of the business community. This is not a comparison of the private sector of the business community and the nonprofit sector. Earnings are at the top of the list of the foremost concerns. The type of workers is at issue as well. Many of the nonprofit health-care employees were post graduate females. The nature of the work performed is important. The employees motivation is also a factor worth considering. Whether the job was full time or part time did make a difference in nonprofit employee characteristics. Participants have several obstacles that prevent them from donating blood. They have a few motivators for donating blood. Because the needed matching blood types are in the African American community this does not mean that they should know that given the distant behavior of the blood collecting business to the African American Community. The Scientific method of observation, measurement and documentation, theory and test the theory is used. In each paper the synthesis method is used to structure the data and information.

| capella university healthcare management: Multinational Electronic Health Records Interoperability Strategies Carter, Sterling K., Anastasia, Christina, Carter, Barbara Mae, 2024-02-29 Amidst the relentless tide of global health crises, a critical problem persists: the lack of a unified electronic health record (EHR) system capable of seamlessly tracking and containing the spread of infectious diseases across borders. The unchecked proliferation of diseases, including the rapid transmission of COVID-19 and the recurring threat of zoonotic infections, underscores the urgent need for a coordinated global response. This absence of interoperability hampers effective patient treatment and surveillance and exacerbates the potential for widespread outbreaks of Biosafety Level 4 (BSL-4) pathogens. Multinational Electronic Health Records Interoperability Strategies is a groundbreaking book, and a beacon of hope in the face of escalating health threats. It catalyzes international collaboration and strategic action by offering a comprehensive exploration into the feasibility and design of a multinational or globally interoperable EHR system. For academic scholars and global leaders, the imperative is clear: embrace this solution-oriented approach and champion the cause of a unified, interoperable EHR system as the cornerstone of our collective defense against the relentless march of infectious diseases. |

| capella university healthcare management: Essentials of Telebehavioral Health Hossam Mahmoud, Hady Naal, Emile Whaibeh, 2022-09-27 Telebehavioral Health (TBH), defined as the use of information and telecommunication technologies for remote behavioral health service delivery, has witnessed exponential growth in recent years. The increase in TBH adoption can be attributed to several factors such as: increasing demand for behavioral health services, increasing availability of high-speed internet, decreasing cost of technology, expansion of reimbursement, and growing scientific evidence demonstrating its effectiveness across various patient populations, psychiatric conditions, and clinical settings. The COVID-19 pandemic further catapulted TBH expansion and scaling, as social distancing and lockdown measures left both clinicians and patients with limited alternatives. Essentials of Telebehavioral Health: A Practical Guide comes at a time when TBH’s effectiveness is well-established, its position in healthcare systems secure and uncontested, and the conversation around it shifting from “if” to “how” it could be implemented. The success of TBH programs is contingent on the careful planning, meticulous implementation, and continuous monitoring and evaluation of its essential components, with special emphasis on clinical, technical, legal and ethical considerations. While there are existing resources that offer road maps for TBH program implementation, what this book provides is hands-on support and guidance to set up and maintain a TBH practice, focusing on both its programmatic and clinical aspects. Its simple structure, succinctness, and scientific rigor make it suitable for both professional and educational settings. In addition to contributing to the writeup, the editors enlisted several authors with a wealth of practical knowledge and firsthand clinical experience on TBH implementation and delivery. The user experience is enhanced through explanatory figures, synthesis tables, visual aids, end-of-section checklists, and summaries in bullet-point format. Essentials of Telebehavioral Health: A Practical Guide is a concise and evidence-based guide that synthesizes decades’ worth of knowledge and experience into key pointers for clinicians, professionals, and interested learners on how to plan, implement, deliver, evaluate, and ensure the sustainability of TBH programs. As the most up-to-date text on TBH, this book serves as a go-to resource for healthcare professionals, clinicians, students and trainees with minimal to no formal education on TBH, to work towards adopting this modality in a synthesised and easy to read format. |

With waning euphoria about the first wave of digital e-business enterprises and a sobering dot-com stock market, business model innovation is being recognized as the key enabler that can unleash value creation for new digital enterprises. In contrast to traditional factors of production, knowledge assets and intellectual capital are expected to play a dominant role in determining both valuation and value-creation capabilities of most new age enterprises. Not surprisingly, Knowledge Management for Business Model Innovation is anticipated to be the mantra for survival, competence and success of Net enterprises as well as traditional brick-and-mortar enterprises faced with the challenge of transforming their business models into and beyond click-and-mortar companies. |
| capella university healthcare management: Health IT and Patient Safety Institute of Medicine, Board on Health Care Services, Committee on Patient Safety and Health Information Technology, 2012-03-15 IOM's 1999 landmark study To Err is Human estimated that between 44,000 and 98,000 lives are lost every year due to medical errors. This call to action has led to a number of efforts to reduce errors and provide safe and effective health care. Information technology (IT) has been identified as a way to enhance the safety and effectiveness of care. In an effort to catalyze its implementation, the U.S. government has invested billions of dollars toward the development and meaningful use of effective health IT. Designed and properly applied, health IT can be a positive transformative force for delivering safe health care, particularly with computerized prescribing and medication safety. However, if it is designed and applied inappropriately, health IT can add an additional layer of complexity to the already complex delivery of health care. Poorly designed IT can introduce risks that may lead to unsafe conditions, serious injury, or even death. Poor human-computer interactions could result in wrong dosing decisions and wrong diagnoses. Safe implementation of health IT is a complex, dynamic process that requires a shared responsibility between vendors and health care organizations. Health IT and Patient Safety makes recommendations for developing a framework for patient safety and health IT. This book focuses on finding ways to mitigate the risks of health IT-assisted care and identifies areas of concern so that the nation is in a better position to realize the potential benefits of health IT. Health IT and Patient Safety is both comprehensive and specific in terms of recommended options and opportunities for public and private interventions that may improve the safety of care that incorporates the use of health IT. This book will be of interest to the health IT industry, the federal government, healthcare providers and other users of health IT, and patient advocacy groups. |
| capella university healthcare management: Information Technology Evaluation Methods and Management Wim Van Grembergen, 2001-01-01 The evaluation of IT and its business value are the subject of many academic and business discussions. Investments in IT are growing extensively, and business managers worry about the fact that the benefits might not be as high as expected. This phenomenon is often called the IT investment paradox or the IT Black Hole: large sums are invested in IT that seem to be swallowed by a large black hole without rendering many returns. How to measure the benefits of IT is the concern of this book titled Information Technology Evaluation Methods and Management. The different IT evaluation approaches and methods are discussed and illustrated with cases: traditional financial evaluations such as the return on investment, information economics and the recently introduced IT Balanced Scorecard. The latter approach is proposed as an ideal mechanism to support the IT/business alignment process and its related IT governance process. Among some of the topics included in this book are: software measurement; ERP project evaluation; strategic electronic commerce evaluation. |

An unexpected source of solutions is being imported from the manufacturing sector: lean thinking. Lean Principles for Healthcare presents a conceptual framework, management principles, and practical tools for professionals tasked with designing and implementing modern, streamlined healthcare systems or overhauling faulty ones. Focusing on core components such as knowledge management, e-health, patient-centeredness, and collaborative care, chapters illustrate lean concepts in action across specialties (as diverse as nursing, urology, and emergency care) and around the globe. Extended case examples show health systems responding to consumer needs and provider realities with equal efficiency and effectiveness, and improved quality and patient outcomes. Further, contributors tackle the gamut of technological, medical, cultural, and business issues, among them: Initiatives of service-oriented architecture towards performance improvement Adapted lean thinking for emergency departments Lean thinking in dementia care through smart assistive technology Supporting preventive healthcare with persuasive services Value stream mapping for lean healthcare A technology mediated solution to reduce healthcare disparities Geared toward both how lean ideas can be carried out and how they are being used successfully in the real world, Lean Principles for Healthcare not only brings expert knowledge to healthcare managers and health services researchers but to all who have an interest in superior healthcare delivery. |
