The use of digital and information technologies in automobile transport leads to the transformation and expansion of the environmental research problem field, because of the need to ensure sustainable development and to improve people’s quality of life. It is necessary to learn how to manage the mobility (transport demand and transport behavior) of each resident in real time, offering him a choice of a limited set of transport behavior stereotypes. These stereotypes shall be based on the technologically sound code of ethics according to the need of ensuring the transport system environmental sustainability. The formation of a unified digital information environment for transport activities will allow the use of virtual and augmented reality technologies to manage population mobility by developing: systems for monitoring the impact of transport facilities on the natural and social environment; platform solutions of digital twins of roadside ecosystems, means of environmental engineering protection for use in digital models of road facilities, intelligent transport systems of traffic management; symbiotic man-machine management systems of transportation facilities. In case of the successful implementation of symbiotic man-machine management systems in the future transport facilities there are two ways for the motor-vehicle industry: either to create fully autonomous commercial transport, or to focus on symbiotic man-machine management systems of transportation facilities, which make the most of the driver's intellectual potential in decision-making. In our opinion, the second way is preferable in terms of safety, human movement comfort, habitat’s quality of public transport. The first way seems to be more efficient and safer for freight transport.

Use Of Resources

The healthcare management is performed by managers and they must have knowledge and skills to carry out management and administrative functions in the current social and economic conditions. The managers must have qualities, such as behavior and attitudes, that are specific to the healthcare sector. The work organizational level in the ward, which determines the efficiency and quality of care, depends mainly on manager competence. Solving the problems associated with determining the responsibilities, activities, rights and obligations of main and senior nurses is an important prerequisite for improving the quality of healthcare. A negative element in the existing practice in hospitals is the lack of opportunities to realize the professional qualifications of healthcare managers. The main reason for this is the imperfection of the regulatory documents. These documents must accurately determine hospital ward activities so that nurses and leaders can apply and develop their professional skills in conformity with their competence. The goal of the study is to investigate the possibilities of applying a methodological model for healthcare management and its importance for improving their quality and effectiveness. Object of the study is healthcare management in six hospitals for active treatment. The research is based on direct individual survey and covers 120 main and senior nurses. Signs related to quality of healthcare management in hospitals, work organization, control of health activities, the role and place of the main and senior nurses in the treatment process have been investigated. The analysis of the survey data focuses on the characteristics of nursing care and the applicability of a healthcare management model with a relevant information product to the hospital information system. Efficient use of resources determines the quality of healthcare, which is a major factor in the sustainable development of the healthcare facility in contemporary social and economic conditions. This determines the need to create and develop science-based models for health care management to ensure a clear regulation of the rights and responsibilities of health care managers and provide better organization of the hospital structure. The data obtained show that the most of the main and senior nurses take a positive view of the creation and introduction of methodical model of healthcare management. An important condition for its successful implementation in practice is the provision of quality software. This requires continuously improving the qualifications of healthcare managers to work with the unified information system of medical institutions.

In this article, the authors focused on research in healthcare digitalization with conjunction to modern technologies, such as Big Data and analytics. To achieve a proper direction at start of the consequent research the authors used the mixed mode of quantitative and qualitative analysis by combination of literature investigation and extended thematic analysis. In the extended thematic analysis of the data corpus the processing of the fourteen steps activity helped to create mind mappings, to recognize the most relevant initial codes, such as “Service”, “ICT/IT”, and “Process”, and to depict the associative relationship of sub-codes to the initial codes for better visibility of results. The composition of forty logical textual sequences of healthcare digitalization themes in discussion confirmed the relevance of initial codes and representativeness to healthcare digitalization. The findings are a step towards enabling the healthcare services innovation, should contribute in higher quality of life, and bring business value to healthcare sector.

Widespread Adoption

While most industries have aggressively leveraged information technology (IT) to improve quality and reduce costs the healthcare sector has lagged behind. Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) hold great promise for improving quality of care yet widespread adoption is lacking. Physician acceptance is critical to widespread adoption of ambulatory EMRs, yet there is little independent research on physician perceptions. This paper attempts to address this void by reporting the results of a study of physician perceptions related to EMRs in a large, multi-specialty clinic. Physician perceptions of select EMR functions and general attitudes and beliefs are reported. While the importance and anticipated utilization of EMR functions varied, nearly 80 percent of the respondents felt an EMR should be implemented. The findings have implications for both vendors attempting to design and market EMR systems and physician executives and practice managers seeking to solicit support for EMR adoption and/or develop a successful implementation strategy.

Purpose Craniofacial anomalies (CFA) often result in growth abnormalities of the facial skeleton adversely affecting function and appearance. The functional problems caused by the structural anomalies include upper airway obstruction, speech abnormalities, feeding difficulty, hearing deficits, dental/occlusal defects, and cognitive and psychosocial impairment. Managing disorders of the craniofacial skeleton has been improved by the technique known as distraction osteogenesis (DO). In DO, new bone growth is stimulated allowing bones to be lengthened without need for bone graft. The purpose of this clinical focus article is to describe the technique and clinical applications and outcomes of DO in CFA. Conclusion Distraction can be applied to various regions of the craniofacial skeleton to correct structure and function. The benefits of this procedure include improved airway, feeding, occlusion, speech, and appearance, resulting in a better quality of life for patients with CFA.

Swallow Function

Lung cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers across Northern America and Europe. Treatment options offered are dependent on the type of cancer, the location of the tumor, the staging, and the overall health of the person. When surgery for lung cancer is offered, difficulty swallowing is a potential complication that can have several influencing factors. Surgical interaction with the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) can lead to unilateral vocal cord palsy, altering swallow function and safety. Understanding whether the RLN has been preserved, damaged, or sacrificed is integral to understanding the effect on the swallow and the subsequent treatment options available. There is also the risk of post-surgical reduction of physiological reserve, which can reduce the strength and function of the swallow in addition to any surgery specific complications. As lung cancer has a limited prognosis, the clinician must also factor in the palliative phase, as this can further increase the burden of an already compromised swallow. By understanding the surgery and the implications this may have for the swallow, there is the potential to reduce the impact of post-surgical complications and so improve quality of life (QOL) for people with lung cancer.
