Patientenidentifikation und Prozessorientierung

Klinische Pfade und andere patientennahe Prozesse werden oft als rein fachliche Themen erachtet, weil diese im Alltag primär die Arbeit der Ärzte, der Pflegenden und von weiteren Behandelnden direkt betreffen. Die Identifikation von Patienten bzw. das ganze davon abhängende Management von Informationen innerhalb der Patientenpfade wird wiederum häufig als alleinige Aufgabe der IT angesehen. Das Buch stellt diese fachlichen und technischen Ansätze in den breiteren Kontext der in den kommenden Jahren absehbaren Veränderungen des Gesundheitswesens sowie der sich daraus ergebenden Fragestellungen, welche insbesondere die Leistungserbringer des Gesundheitswesens beschäftigen und fordern werden. Die Fähigkeit, Prozesse patientenorientiert zu gestalten wird zu einem wesentlichen Erfolgsfaktor werden. Das methodische Herangehen an die damit zusammenhängenden Fragestellungen wird neben derjenigen der fachlichen und technischen Spezialisten auch die Aufmerksamkeit des Krankenhaus-Managements erfordern.

Transforming Rural Communities in China and Beyond

Business & Personal Finance

This book represents one of the first attempts by a multidisciplinary research team, encompassing the social sciences, business, architecture and planning, engineering, and finance and economics, to help rural communities discover sustainable and self-reliant paths to development and transformation.The opening chapter outlines the background of the research, its importance in the context of China and other countries, the rationale for choosing the case study communities in rural China, and the composition of the research team. Chapter 2 explores key issues in the role of social entrepreneurship and leadership in rural community development. Chapter 3 analyses a green platform for a pilot transaction of China forest carbon sinks led by the Huadong Forestry Exchange. The fourth chapter examines carbon trade, forestry land rights, and the livelihoods of farmers in rural Chinese communities. Chapter 5 explores alternative energy development in rural Chinese communities, where the poor are often disproportionately dependent on fuel wood and solid biomass, causing environmental degradation, reduced productivity and the decline of income generating opportunities. Chapter 6 examines and tests the proposition that stronger communities will result from ‘connected up’, holistic, synergistic and inclusive planning of services and supporting infrastructure. Chapter 7 analyzes information and communications technology (ICT) based service innovations for supporting rural community enterprises. Chapter 8 highlights key elements of stronger rural communities, drawing together the themes and proposals of preceding chapters and constructing an integrated model.The authors demonstrate that interconnected community enterprises based on clean forest products, forest carbon and ecotourism can be underpinned by local infrastructure enterprises such as renewable energy, water, waste management, ICT and transport, and financial mechanisms like carbon finance, allinvolving skills development, leadership and social entrepreneurship coupled with corporate and investment partnerships. Such interconnected approaches are expected to generate increased employment and prosperity, improve social livelihoods, and benefit the environment.

The Lazy Millionaire

Business & Personal Finance

Work and work hard all of the time! Until you have no life… or, until you become ill! Unfortunately, many of us think that the fundamental building block towards financial freedom and success is hard labor! Perhaps it’s because it is what we were taught by our parents or because that is what we learned in economics class. But what if Leonardo da Vinci was right? What if we could accomplish more—A LOT MORE—while doing less? Fisher validates Da Vinci’s theory through logical example and recognized psychological laws. The author demonstrates that anyone can become a Lazy Millionaire in the 1 to 10 million dollar range within a 10-year period. Free yourself of the burden of "work" and all the obligations, real or perceived, that interrupt our daily lives. Enlightening case-studies and inspiring anecdotes will reveal how YOU too can work less and make more money while fulfilling your dreams!

Population Malthus

Business & Personal Finance

This is a fascinating insight into the work of one of our greatest thinkers. Thomas Robert Malthus (1766–1834) is best remembered today for his theories on the menace of over-population; this first ever full-length biography shows him also in his role as one of the founders of classical political economy, still a controversial figure in the history of economic thought. Based on exhaustive research among contemporary sources, it gives an account of Malthus’s two careers, as an economist and as a professor at the East India College.Patricia James describes how, at the East India College, Malthus was influential in the establishment of an incorruptible Civil Service and the modern system of written examinations, in circumstances which seem almost farcical today. She gives an account of his family and social life, which was full of warmth and variety, with an abundance of ‘characters’ as well as many famous men.People nowadays are inclined to argue in a vacuum whether Malthus is ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ about population outrunning subsistence, and about the adequacy of aggregate demand in a capitalist society. Patricia James shows him in his historical setting, so that the book is a study both of the man and of the age in which he lived. She believes that, paradoxically, if we view Malthus’s works as the period pieces they are, it becomes more and not less easy to see their relevance to our own problems. Although Malthus’s search for basic principles in a changing world was confused and erratic, his ideas are still illuminating to those who prefer investigation and reappraisal to the mere reiteration of dogma. This text was first published in 1975.

Humanizing the Education Machine

Business & Personal Finance

A clear roadmap for the new territory of education Education in the U.S. has been under fire for quite some time, and for good reason. The numbers alone tell a very disconcerting story: according to various polls, 70% of teachers are disengaged. Add to that the fact that the United States ranks last among industrialized nations for college graduation levels, and it's evident there's a huge problem that needs to be addressed. Yet the current education system and its school buildings—with teachers standing in front of classrooms and lecturing to students—have gone largely unchanged since the 19th century. Humanizing the Education Machine tackles this tough issue head-on. It describes how the education system has become ineffective by not adapting to fit students' needs, learning styles, perspectives, and lives at home. This book explains how schools can evolve to engage students and involve parents. It serves to spread hope for reform and equip parents, educators, administrators, and communities to: Analyze the pitfalls of the current U.S. education system Intelligently argue the need to reform the current landscape of education Work to make a difference in the public education system Be an informed advocate for your child or local school system If you're a concerned parent or professional looking for a trusted resource on the need for education reform, look no further than Humanizing the Education Machine. This illuminating resource provides the information you need to become a full partner in the new human-centered learning revolution.

Blockchain in Smallholder Farming

Business & Personal Finance

Chain Business Insights' new eBook by Co-founder and Research Principal, Ken Cottrill titled Blockchain in Smallholder Farming: Sowing the Seeds of Growth investigates how blockchain combined with agricultural technologies, such as precision farming could help improve productivity significantly, lift millions of smallholder farmers out of poverty and bolster the world's food supply. Population growth, climate change and geopolitical unrest are putting pressure on food production - a significant amount of which comes from small farms, especially in developing countries. At the same time, smallholder farmers are challenged by rampant corruption in the supply chain, and do not have access to adequate finance and insurance and hence the resources needed to improve yields. Blockchain could support new business models that help smallholders to overcome these barriers, adapt to changing climate and the resultant shift in production patterns, improve efficiency and gain access to world agricultural markets. Driven by the substantial global business opportunity, several vendors are introducing blockchain-based innovations in smallholder farming. Blockchain in Smallholder Farming: Sowing the Seeds of Growth contains case studies about the use of the technology. Blockchain in Smallholder Farming: Sowing the Seeds of Growth offers a snapshot of blockchain's potential, and the broader implications for global agribusiness. These insights should be of interest to stakeholders across agricultural supply chains. Among them are farm organizations, food manufacturers and retailers, providers of services and farm inputs (substances for controlling crop pests and fertilizing soil), transportation and logistics companies, government agencies and NGOs.

Unternehmensbewertung für substanzsteuerliche Zwecke

Business & Personal Finance

Über 50 Jahre wurde das Stuttgarter Verfahren verwendet, um den Wert nicht börsennotierter Unternehmen für die Erbschaft-, Schenkung- und Vermögensteuer zu bestimmen. Durch das Urteil des Bundesverfassungsgerichts vom 07.11.2006 ist der Gesetzgeber verpflichtet, die Erbschaftsteuer zu reformieren und eine marktnahe Bewertung von Unternehmensvermögen sicherzustellen. Auf der Basis einer umfangreichen empirischen Analyse geht Jens Müller den Fragen nach, wie stark eine Bewertung durch das Stuttgarter Verfahren von Marktwerten abweicht und in welchen Fällen eine akzeptable Approximation des Marktwertes erreicht wird. In der Praxis wird das Multiplikatorverfahren häufig zur Bewertung nicht börsennotierter Unternehmen verwendet. Der Autor untersucht, in welcher Form dieses Verfahren auch für steuerliche Zwecke geeignet ist und zeigt auf, mit welchen Schätzfehlern zu rechnen ist.

Creadores de hits

Business & Personal Finance

Los grandes hits no surgen de la nada, no se vuelven "virales" a partir de su mera calidad y la publicidad de boca en boca. Detrás de cada éxito hay una historia secreta de poder, influencia, sistemas de transmisión y admiradores apasionados. Y aun las ideas más brillantes mueren si no logran conectar con el público que más importa: los amigos, seguidores e imitadores de la audiencia inicial.Derek Thompson revela el funcionamiento de los mercados culturales que moldean nuestras vidas de maneras insospechadas. Combinando la investigación periodística con la divulgación y el análisis, el autor muestra que la originalidad no basta, que el "buen gusto" indiscutible no existe y que la combinación de circunstancias favorables, la empatía con las necesidades de la gente y el poder de capturar su atención son tan importantes como la perseverancia y el talento de los creadores.De la pintura impresionista al futuro de Facebook, de La Guerra de las Galaxias a Cincuenta sombras de Grey, de los primeros éxitos del rock and roll a las series televisivas más prestigiosas, Creadores de hits cuenta la historia fascinante de por qué las obras y productos se vuelven imprescindibles.

Human Factors in Auditory Warnings

Business & Personal Finance

First published in 1999, this book provides answers to many of the problems associated with the design and application of auditory warnings. It represents the position of contemporary auditory warnings research and development in a single unique volume. Application domains include air traffic control, aviation, emergency services, manufacturing, medicine, military and nuclear power. The contributors constitute many key experts in this area, some of whom are psychoacousticians, some psychologists and some ergonomists. Correspondingly, the chapters range from those covering basic topics such as audibility and localization of warnings, through psychological issues concerned with the relationship between design, understanding and the behavioural response, to the more general ergonomic issues of implementing the warnings in a particular context. Although each of the chapters takes a slightly different perspective, they all balance theoretical underpinning with practical application. The editors have undertaken to draw all of the contributions together by providing an overview of warnings research at the beginning of the book and summary of the contributions at the end. This book will appeal to all involved in the research, development, design and implementation of auditory warnings.
