National victimization data suggest less than 50% of violent crime incidents are reported to the police. Official reports of crime to police, however, are often the only type of data used for the analysis of violence problems, the identification of geographic concentrations of violent crime, and the selection of targets for police and prevention resources. Yet, the question remains, are estimates of violent crime prevalence and location distorted from a unilateral reliance on police data? Here, we examine whether emergency medical service (EMS) data collected by the fire department are spatially concentrated in the same way as police data and whether these data can help identify instances of violence unreported to police in the city of Seattle between 2009 and 2011. We find high levels of concentration in both police and EMS data and evidence that new information is learned about the location of violence problems from utilizing multiple data sources. Overall, these findings contribute to a small but growing body of work that demonstrates the utility of nonconventional data in the identification of crime and harm concentrations of interest.

The main advantages and disadvantages of using information technology in the organization of accounting are shown. Problems of automation of administrative activity at transition to the international standards are considered. A critical assessment of well-known authors and scientists of the modern level of automated accounting in economics is given. Particular attention is paid to the use of remote hardware and software resources in solving problems of informatization of management. Prospects of application in the account of the expert systems constructed on the basis of high-level software products are considered. Some problems of information protection that pose a threat to the use of information technology in management tasks are highlighted. The role of the person in the automated system of accounting, irreplaceability of experience and professionalism of the accountant at any level of development of information technologies is shown.

The growing market demand for medical tourism has triggered intense competition among the medical tourism industry players. Word-of-mouth has been recognised as one of the key acquisition channels among the thoughtful marketing tactics to attract medical tourists. The purpose of this study is to gain insight on the relationship between medical service quality, perceived value, and satisfaction on word-ofmouth generation in a medical tourism setting. A quantitative survey was conducted to collect the data. The data collected was analysed using the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). The results indicated that medical service quality is positively associated with perceived value, which in turn, affects satisfaction. However, perceived value and satisfaction are not positively related to wordof-mouth generation. The availability of resources, patient cooperation and collaboration among service providers do affect the outcomes of word-of- mouth generation. It is implied that effort must be directed by the healthcare institutions to enrich the value and satisfaction of medical services. Hospital management should emphasise the service quality and raise it to a high level in order to increase recommendation.

Patient Use

Advances in information technology, be it by way of social media or use of the electronic medical information systems, has changed the way we deal with patient confidential information. The hitherto clear professional relationship with the patient has been blurred using social media, just like the unprecedented rate at which electronic health information is used to access and share patient's confidential information among healthcare professionals. However, given the special professional relationship of confidence which traditionally bonds the healthcare practitioner with the patient, use of these technologies by the healthcare professionals portends the risk of breach of that duty of confidentiality. Although the patient's right to demand confidentiality of his information is not absolute, an unlawful breach could result in a crime, actionable tort, or become a subject of disciplinary action. This chapter undertakes a general review of the benefits and dangers of embracing these new information technologies and their impact on the confidentiality of sensitive health data.

Patients might be willing to pay more to obtain better quality medical services when they recognize that high-level hospitals have better quality. However, published papers have not found solid empirical evidence to support this possibility. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to empirically investigate patients’ willingness to pay (WTP) for an outpatient copayment. The study aims to analyze the difference between the two WTP values: to implement a hierarchy of medical care and to improve the quality of medical services. This study administered a questionnaire using the contingent valuation method with a quasi-bidding game for patients’ WTP and the SERVQUAL scale for medical service quality. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was employed to test the difference between the two WTP values, notably to implement a hierarchy of medical care and to improve the quality of medical services. Both of the WTP values are higher than the academic medical centre’s current copayment NT$420 (approximately US$14); the percentage of respondents willing to pay a higher copayment declined when the outpatient copayment was increased, and the patients’ WTP to have better medical service quality was significantly higher than that to implement a hierarchy of medical care. Patients’ desire to receive better medical services from higher-level hospitals might be stronger than their desire to implement hierarchical medical care. This study reported the relationship between the respondents’ perceived medical service quality and WTP for having better service quality by using regression models. The respondents’ perceptions of medical service quality, especially for “reliability” and “assurance,” would positively affect their WTP. Policy makers should focus on improving the quality of medical services.

Knowledge Service

Collaboration among healthcare organizations depends on coordination, communication and control among healthcare organizations and effective sharing of medical information and knowledge. Medical services are knowledge-intensive activities. All information, knowledge, techniques and experience should be integrated, managed and shared using the Internet and information technology. Overall medical service quality and efficiency would be improved markedly if medical professionals and staff at different healthcare organizations could use and share medical knowledge resources. Therefore, a collaborative medical knowledge service would promote medical service quality. This study presents a novel medical knowledge service system for cross-organizational healthcare collaboration such that all medical professionals and staff at different healthcare organizations could capture, store, manage, integrate and share medical knowledge. This system should improve medical service quality and efficiency, and promote competition in the healthcare industry. Thus, this study (i) proposes a collaborative medical knowledge service model, (ii) designs a collaborative medical knowledge service system framework, (iii) develops this proposed system, and (iv) evaluates the developed system based on user satisfaction.
