BEFORE GOING INTO THE SPECIFIC AREAS OF PEDIATRIC cardiology and pediatric cardiac cardiology and pediatric cardiac surgery, an overview of the general health care organization in the Netherlands might be helpful. The Netherlands, a country with about 15 million inhabitants, spent 47 billion Dutch guilders (US$22 billion) for general health care in 1991. This is about 8.5% of the gross domestic product. Of this, 61% was spent on in-hospital costs, 39% on extramural costs, including the financing of organizations that deal with preventive (primary) medicine, such as clinics for infants and school children which were visited regularly. Almost all inhabitants, 99.6%, are covered for the expenses of health care, 60% through the “Sick Fund,” a state-insurance that is obliged for everyone with a yearly income of less than US$30,000. Employers of these people have to deduct an amount of money from the monthly salary to be paid to the “Sick Fund.” In case of unemployment this money is deducted from the amount paid by the social security office. The remaining 40% has some form of private insurance, that covers health care. Both diagnostic and therapeutic approaches as the timing of these are completely similar and independent from the type of insurance that applies for the individual patient.

The forces impacting the doctor-patient relationship cede many care responsibilities from the individual primary care physician to the health care organization. Many physicians are now salaried employees of these organizations and report feeling a great deal of pressure from having to embrace population health management approaches that involve heavy use of quality metrics and care standardization. Aided by lowered expectations of their interactions with physicians, patient loyalties begin to shift toward the organization rather than any single doctor, as patients describe their lowered expectations and how these create opportunity to place their faith in a presumed ability by the organization to provide them with satisfactory care. This dynamic further undermines the dyadic bond potential between doctor and patient, and provides additional rationales for health care organizations to introduce retail tactics into their own interactions with patients, designed to build brand loyalty and meet more basic patient needs, such as convenience, in standardized ways.

Health Care Records

AbstractLoosely structured documents can capture more relevant information about medical events than is possible using today’s popular databases. In order to realize the full potential of this increased information content, techniques will be required that go beyond the static mapping of stored data into a single, rigid data model. Through intelligent processing, loosely structured documents can become a rich source of detailed data about actual events that can support the wide variety of applications needed to run a health-care organization, document medical care or conduct research. Abstraction and indirection are the means by which dynamic data models and intelligent processing are introduced into database systems. A system designed around loosely structured documents can evolve gracefully while preserving the integrity of the stored data. The ability to identify and locate the information contained within documents offers new opportunities to exchange data that can replace more rigid standards of data interchange.

Introduction. Health care workers often come into conflict situations while performing their daily activities. People behave differently when they come into conflicts and they are usually not aware of their own reactions. The aim of this paper was to establish the presence of conflict styles among health workers and the differences in relation to demographic characteristics (education, working experience, managerial position). Material and Methods. The research was done as a cross-sectional study and through surveys. The conflict handling questionnaire was used as the research instrument. The questionnaire contained 30 statements arranged in five dimensions of conflict styles. The sample included one hundred nurses and fifty-five doctors. Results. The research showed that accommodating was the most often used conflict style. There was no significant difference in styles of managerial and non-managerial staff, but there was a significant difference in the styles adopted by doctors and nurses. It should be noted that nurses used avoiding and accommodating conflict styles much more often. Conclusion. It is important to increase the awareness of conflict existence and the possibility of solving the problem constructively in order to achieve more efficient duty performance.

This paper reports the results of a literature review of health care organizations that have transitioned from one electronic health record (EHR) to another. Ten different EHR to EHR transitions are documented in the academic literature. In eight of the 10 transitions, the health care organization transitioned to Epic, a commercial EHR which is dominating the market for large and medium hospitals and health care systems. The focus of the articles reviewed falls into two main categories: (1) data migration from the old to new EHR and (2) implementation of the new EHR as it relates to patient safety, provider satisfaction, and other measures pre-and post-transition. Several conclusions and recommendations are derived from this review of the literature, which may be informative for healthcare organizations preparing to replace an existing EHR. These recommendations are likely broadly relevant to EHR to EHR transitions, regardless of the new EHR vendor.
