Health economic modeling to support surgery management at a Swedish hospital

Elective surgery management typically deals with a queue of patients that have to be scheduled for surgery within a certain time frame, considering both medical and economic constraints. In order to prevent the patient queue and waiting times from growing, surgery management has to decide whether to temporarily increase patient throughput at the regional hospital or have some patients scheduled for surgery at another hospital. In Sweden, a newly passed law states that patients who decide to receive surgery should not have to wait more than 90 days before this surgery is carried out. Therefore, if a patient decides to apply the new law by requesting surgery within 90 days, the regional hospital is obliged to arrange and pay for either in-house surgery or surgery at another hospital. In this paper, we suggest an approach using simulation including optimization for modeling surgery management decisions. We study a case based on data from a General Surgery Department at a Swedish hospital and present our results as a health economic evaluation. The results indicate an increase in the mean waiting times for medium prioritized patients when the new law is applied.

知识共享的研究现状及动态分析

知识共享是知识管理最重要与最核心的议题。通过对国内外大量文献的检索，发现除了知识共享的必要性分析之外，目前对知识共享的研究主要集中于知识共享的过程与模式、知识共享的主体、知识共享的客体、知识共享的技术手段、知识共享的经济性分析、知识共享的软环境要求等方面，并提出了今后知识共享研究的重点内容。     

北方城镇物业管理发展瓶颈现象透析

物业服务管理公司作为与社区紧密联系的组织,在地域发展中呈现不同特点。本文运用半结构访谈方法,以帕森斯的社会进化论为理论视角,分析了北方城镇物业服务管理发展瓶颈形成的原因:一是物业服务管理公司内部组织分化不明晰;二是社区系统本身的发展与物管系统内部发展一致,出现偏差行为后,缺乏必要的社会控制;三是社区中价值主体多元化,而又缺乏有效整合。     

In support of evidence-based management and research-informed HRD through HRD professional partnerships: an empirical and comparative study

This article describes a programme of practice-grounded empirical management research set within an NHS Trust Hospital in the UK that was conducted as part of an HRD Professional Partnership of the kind advocated by Jacobs (1997). The research was concerned with identifying the criteria of managerial effectiveness at the middle and front-line levels of management using critical incident technique and factor analytic methods. The results are compared against those from an equivalent partnership research study carried out previously by the author within one part of the British Civil Service, namely the Anglia Collection of HM Customs & Excise. The findings lend support to the notion of the 'universally effective manager', and provide empirical support for the potential development of evidence-based and research-informed approaches to management and human resource development within the case-study NHS Trust Hospital, and possibly beyond.     

ERP implementation: An integrated process of radical change and continuous learning

This paper seeks to develop management theory that can be used to increase the likelihood of ERP implementation success. The paper argues and demonstrates that an ERP implementation can be understood as an intended radical change that can be managed to some extent. But during the use of the system, incremental changes are bound to take place, which are unintended and difficult to manage. Using, therefore, and combining positivist and constructivist viewpoints, six different propositions on ERP implementation are developed. The paper reasons that organizations that understand these propositions are more likely to implement and use ERP successfully. The findings of a longitudinal case study of the implementation and use of BaaN in a Danish company support the propositions put forward in the paper.     

OBM Today and Tomorrow

Abstract

In this article I present the speech I gave when accepting the OBM Network's award for outstanding achievement. In that speech I characterized the field as I understood it in 1992 and directions I thought it should take in the future, including the role that JOBM should play in that future. The acceptance speech is followed by my extensive commentary and opinion concerning developments in the field of OBM up to the year 2000 and the paths along which I think it should develop and paths I think it should avoid in the future.
