The implementation of key performance indicators (KPIs) is a challenging task for many businesses. Yet, effective implementation of KPIs is among the major determinants of performance and success of an organization. This study explored the new strategic thinking in mitigating the challenges in implementing key performance indicators (KPIs) and increasing efficiency in corporate performance management in the Middle East & North Africa (MENA) region. The study sought to test three hypotheses: (i) there is a significant relationship between having enough training and awareness sessions before implementation and effective implementation of KPIs; (ii) there is a significant relationship between having KPI professionals and specialists and effective implementation of KPIs; and (iii) there is a significant relationship between having clear KPI goals and objectives, on one hand, and the effective implementation of KPIs on the other. Hypotheses 2 and 3 were proved to be true while results for hypothesis 1 were inconclusive. A total of 1007 participants from across the MENA region were involved in the study. The findings demonstrate the importance of having clear KPI goals and objectives and KPI professionals or specialists to oversee the KPI selection and implementation process. Further research should be conducted to establish whether there is a significant relationship between having enough training and awareness sessions before implementation and effective implementation of KPIs.

The article is devoted to assessing the effect of the implementation of information technologies in non-profit organizations. The purpose of the assessment is to evaluate the effect of IT implementation and its impact on key performance indicators of an organization. The indicators characterizing the results of the organization’s activities in accordance with the State Assignment and the results of commercial activities were used as the key performance indicators. For federal state budget NPOs, it has been shown that a positive IT effect for auxiliary business processes does not directly ensure positive performance indicators for the core business processes. Hidden effects of the use of IT were assessed by changes of the indicators of the core business processes. Performance indicators characterizing the results of commercial activities may demonstrate a negative effect. Understanding the specifics of non-profit organizations, as well as metrics and performance parameters characterizing the effectiveness of such organizations, is important to ensure a correct approach to the digitalization of business processes and their performance management.

It is paradoxical that, although several major technological discoveries such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Nuclear Medicine and Digital Radiology, which facilitate improvement in patient care, have been satisfactorily embraced by the medical community, this has not been the case with Healthcare Informatics. Thus, it can be argued that issues such as Data Management, Data Modeling, and Knowledge Management have a long way to go before reaching the maturity level that other technologies have achieved in the medical sector. This chapter proposes to explore trends and best practices regarding knowledge management from the viewpoint of performance management, based upon the use of Key Performance Indicators in healthcare systems. By assessing both balanced scorecards and quality assurance techniques in healthcare, it is possible to foresee an electronic healthcare record centered approach which drives information flow at all levels of the day-to-day process of delivering effective and managed care, and which finally moves towards information assessment and knowledge discovery.

Abstract Introduction. In order to help facilitate the uptake of best clinical practices, improve outcomes, enhance efficiency and reduce costs, few healthcare organizations have introduced Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) programs. Since September 2014, dialysis centers belonging to the EMEA Fresenius Medical Care (FME) network have introduced a CQI policy called Medical Peer Review (MPR) based on key performance indicators (KPI) related to patient’s clinical status. We exploit the quasi-experimental setting generated by the introduction of FMC CQI policy, to evaluate the association between improvement in intermediate outcomes (key performance indicators) and prolonged survival among dialysis patients registered in the EMEA FME network. Methods. We conducted a historical cohort study. We included adult patients on chronic dialysis with less than 90 days between renal replacement therapy (RRT) initiation date and first treatment date in FME clinics. We compared KPI target achievement (P-BSC score) and 2-year mortality for patients enrolled prior to MPR-CQI policy onset (Cohort A) and a cohort of patients enrolled after MPR-CQI policy onset (Cohort B). Structural Equation model was adopted to estimate the association of MPR-CQI policy on patients’ survival through changes in intermediate outcomes (P-BSC score). Results. The Cohort A and Cohort B consisted of 2397 and 1873 patients, respectively. We observed no difference across groups concerning the distribution of age (63.1 vs 62.8 years), gender (59% vs 60% males) and body mass index (27.6 vs 26.4 kg/m2); Cohort A showed lower Charlson’s comorbidity index (3.3±1.5 vs 3.8±1.9, p<0.01) and higher dialysis vintage (32.9±27.0 vs 21.3±22.2 days, p-value<0.01) compared to Cohort B. P-BSC scores over the 6-month ascertainment period was 5.25±1.47 in the pre CQI-MPR policy cohort, while it was significantly higher (6.67±1.63) in the post CQI-MPR policy cohort. Mediation analysis demonstrated a strong indirect effect of CQI-MPR implementation on mortality trough improvement of P-BSC rating score occurring in the post-implementation era (OR=0.70, p<0.001) Conclusion. We showed that, after discounting for potential unmodifiable confounding factors and potential unmeasured selection/chronological bias, improvement of intermediate outcomes and performance indicators occurred after MPR-CQI policy implementation, was associated to a strong improvement in survival.

Background: Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic, systemic immune disorder that can affect one’s quality of life. Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore the key performance indicators (KPIs) related to the quality of life of patients with CD admitted to the Celiac Association of Bouali Hospital in Zahedan. Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was performed on 60 patients with CD who referred to the Celiac Association of Bouali Hospital in Zahedan in 2018. Data collection tools included a demographic questionnaire (age, gender, marital status, duration of illness, education, ethnicity, economic status, occupation, breastfeeding history, family history of CD, as well as vitamin D and iron supplementation) and the Quality of Life Questionnaire for patients with CD. Data were analyzed in SPSS 21 using descriptive statistics. All values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: Sixty participants completed the study, 66.7% of whom were female, 76.7% were married, and 85.3% reported a family history of CD. The total score of patients’ quality of life was 81.66 ± 18.33, and the lowest score of quality of life was associated with patients’ concerns (51.81 ± 3.85). The findings also showed that, among various KPIs, vitamin D had a particularly significant relationship with patients’ quality of life. Conclusions: There was a significant relationship between the quality of life and vitamin D supplementation in the participants. Besides, considering the effect of physical health on improving the quality of life and the chronic nature of CD, it is necessary to enhance the quality of life of these individuals by raising their awareness about micronutrient intakes while respecting their dietary restrictions.

For the last decades, Institution of Higher Learning (IHL) activities has become more complex. Competitive environment, technological advances, stakeholder and profit- oriented markets have demanded IHLs to facilitate broad areas of activities which require many resources ranging from human to technical. Thus, IHL’s managers as decision-makers faced the problems of finding the right performance measurement and the proper usage of Performance Management System (PMS) for measuring all of the performances especially for lecturers which measured by Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) known as “Tri Dharma”. Hence, this study aims to examine the use of performance management system at one faculty of an Indonesian private university. This research is the extended version from the paper presented on 3rd Icotic 2017, titled “A Study of Strategic Communication in Supporting the Performance Management System: A Case at an Indonesian Private University”. Using semi- structured interviews with 12 managers at the faculty, this study was examine how the PMS used to support lecturers in conducting the “Tri Dharma” activities by providing the guidance to reach the objectives and target of the institution. The qualitative evidence collected during the course of the research indicates that private university is now being highly competitive and it is very sensitive to changes in technology, student tastes and behaviours. In so doing, IHLs managers have to set up some suitable indicators to be measured through the Balance Score Card (BSC) as the PMS that allows faculty managerial level to translate their visions into collective visions that enhance all lecturers as teams to move in a shared-service and value-creating work. This PMS also used as a strategy map to guide with signposts and guardrails to construct and to motivate all lecturers to reach the KPIs also to maintain their performance in conducting “Tri Dharma” by linking the salary, increment, bonus to performance and make quarterly report to evaluate.
