Human Factors And Ergonomics

Abstract Objective Human Factors and Ergonomics (HFE) discipline is critical to improve the health care system. The technical development of medicine in general is not accompanied by the organizational system that supports the delivery of high-quality, safe care. The potential for improvement in care delivery is overwhelming. This paper describes an HFE framework that consists of four main domains of action within the organization: 1) Process; 2) Product; 3) Training; and 4) Research. It aims to demonstrate to health care stakeholders, especially boards, management and professionals, as well as to the community of human factors, how HFE can be structured to respond to the challenges of improving the socio-technical health system. Design None Setting Intra-hospital environment of a private health care group. Participants None Intervention(s) None Main outcome measure(s) None Results HFE framework Conclusion Together with other disciplines, HFE can and must play a determinant role in the reengineering of a human-centered health care. HFE must be embedded in health care organizations and must demonstrate its value in a more comprehensive way, so that stakeholders become aware of the benefits and feel the need to ask for help. Examples of systemic, practical and comprehensive applications are needed. This framework is a contribution in this direction.

Learning Capability

ABSTRACT Introduction Due to the fast-changing and developing business environment, knowledge has become a very important resource for organizations. However, reaching and obtaining knowledge is difficult, the level of organizational learning capability (OLC) perception within the organization is a key for this. This is also true for health organizations. If health care organizations can increase their OLC levels, they might achieve an increase in organizational performance, patient satisfaction, competitive advantage, and employee satisfaction. Objective In this study, it is aimed to determine the level of OLC perception of employees working in private health care organizations. It is also aimed to examine whether this perception level shows variance according to demographic differences. Materials and methods Research was done between January 2017 and March 2017 in private health care organizations operating in Turkey. The population of the study includes both administrative staff and health staff working in these organizations. Survey method was used to collect data, and 111 valid questionnaires were collected at the end of data collection period. Results and conclusion According to the findings, employees perceive their organizations’ OLC level positively both for general OLC and for OLC subdimensions. However, it is also concluded that this perception level could be increased as well. In order to achieve this, health care organizations are required to encourage their employees toward learning, investigating, communication, risk taking, and participation.

Care System

Recently using information technology in the health care system is an important issue. Medical informatics is the combination of information science, computer science, and health care. As population is increasing rapidly, it is obvious to use medical informatics to save human lives and to treat people in efficient way. Therefore, we tried to explore an overview of the necessities and practical uses of data mining in administrative, clinical, research as well as educational aspects of medical informatics in Bangladesh. It is one the most populous countries in the world and the health care system including data mining in medical informatics is not so handy. Besides, for the effect of monsoon weather people of this country are affected by various diseases but poor investment and weak implementation make these diseases a burden. The study focuses on the needs of clinical data warehousing and the practice of examining these databases in order to improve various aspects of medical informatics in Bangladesh. The study suggests that government and private health care organizations need to take account to store their data and create a research wing in every hospital in Bangladesh as well as other developing countries in the world so that researchers and doctors may be able to find out the solution of their problems. For the greater benefits of the people, more research on medical informatics is essential and implementation of the research outputs must be done in medical treatment. Asian J. Med. Biol. Res.

Cross Sectional Design

In this study we used a quasiexperimental, cross-sectional design with six cohorts differing in phase of treatment (pretreatment, posttreatment, 2-year posttreatment) and treatment type (psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy) and investigated scores on 39 Rorschach-CS variables. The total sample consisted of 176 participants from four mental health care organizations in The Netherlands. We first examined pretreatment differences between patients entering psychoanalysis and patients entering psychoanalytic psychotherapy. The two treatment groups did not seem to differ substantially before treatment, with the exception of the level of ideational problems. Next, we studied the outcome of psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy by comparing the Rorschach-CS scores of the six groups of patients. In general, we found significant differences between pretreatment and posttreatment on a relatively small number of Rorschach-CS variables. More pre/post differences were found between the psychoanalytic psychotherapy groups than between the psychoanalysis groups. More research is needed to examine whether analyzing clusters of variables might reveal other results.
