Challenging the status quo: a scoping review of value-based care models in cardiology and electrophysiology.

The accomplishment of value-based healthcare (VBHC) models could save up to $1 trillion per year for healthcare systems worldwide while improving patients' wellbeing and experience. Nevertheless, its adoption and development are challenging. This review aims to provide an overview of current literature pertaining to the implementation of VBHC models used in cardiology, with a focus on cardiac electrophysiology. This scoping review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis for Scoping Reviews. The records included in this publication were relevant documents published in PubMed, Mendeley, and ScienceDirect. The search criteria were publications about VBHC in the field of cardiology and electrophysiology published between 2006 and 2023. The implementation of VBHC models in cardiology and electrophysiology is still in its infant stages. There is a clear need to modify the current organizational structure in order to establish cross-functional teams with the patient at the centre of care. The adoption of new reimbursement schemes is crucial to moving this process forward. The implementation of technologies for data analysis and patient management, among others, poses challenges to the change process. New VBHC models have the potential to improve the care process and patient experience while optimizing the costs. The implementation of this model has been insufficient mainly because it requires substantial changes in the existing infrastructures and local organization, the need to track adherence to guidelines, and the evaluation of the quality of life improvement and patient satisfaction, among others.

Will COVID “encourage” B2B and data exchange engineering in logistic firms?

Abstract The goal of this article is to develop recommendations to assist logistic companies in formulating their B2B deployment policies as part of their engineering infrastructure strategy. It is postulated that logistic firms are likely to integrate B2B into their organizational structure in order to obtain a competitive advantage. The research examines the situation not only in the period immediately prior (2006) and after (2010) the 2008–2009 economic crisis, but also over a longer period of the following years in order to discover an eventual impact of the crisis on B2B deployment (2014, 2018). The results obtained from the 2008–2009 economic crisis are then applied analogically to the current 2020 coronavirus economic recession, where they serve as a foundation for formulating B2B deployment policy recommendations. We ascertained that B2B deployment increases in time of intensified market competition due to an economic crisis or recession and this tendency persists even in a longer horizon after the macroeconomic instability culmination. B2B systems can thus act as a significant “tool” for enhancing business competitiveness, which may be crucial for their economic “survival.”

THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF THE MARKETING MECHANISM IN THE ACTIVITIES OF AGRICULTURAL ENTERPRISES

The article examines the theoretical and practical aspects of the introduction and development of marketing activities in agricultural enterprises in order to increase the efficiency of their activities. It is indicated that the development of organizational and economic mechanisms of adaptation of agricultural enterprises to market conditions of operation require changes in the construction of organizational structures in order to promote the development of object markets for products. At the same time, organizational structures of marketing management acquire special importance. It is emphasized that the solution to the issue of the principles and approaches to their construction within the enterprise is purely individual and should take into account the entire spectrum of the specifics of the activity. It is indicated that insufficient development of the informational component and infrastructure of the agricultural products market significantly complicates the work of domestic marketers, which does not allow to significantly increase the level of development of agricultural marketing. It is noted that in modern crisis market conditions, enterprises need to ensure the improvement of the information base and technology for preparing marketing plans based on modern methods and means of information processing, based on achievements in the field of economic theory of planning, the use of economic and mathematical modeling, modern methods and means of information processing. It was concluded that marketing support develops in the process of overcoming contradictions between external conditions and internal capabilities of the enterprise. It is emphasized that if marketing support makes it possible to correctly assess the objective market environment and is based on its scientific analysis, does not ignore the peculiarities of production development related to the release of competitive products, then it effectively affects the process of forming needs. The process of marketing support unfolds in the unity of interrelationships, interdependencies of objective and subjective, market and internal.

An application for determining supply chain integration problems via a MCDA methodology: A case study of manufacturing firms in Ordu province

Businesses are changing their organizational structures in order to compete and increase consumer value. They try to enhance their flexibility in order to respond to changing market needs and meet incoming demand. For this purpose, supply chain integration is becoming increasingly important in businesses and plays a crucial role in improving corporate sustainability. Integration's purpose is to enable the effective and efficient flow of products/services, information, money, and decisions, as well as to give the most value to the customer at the lowest feasible cost. However, business supply chain integration encounters many obstacles. The integration of the supply chain is considered an important key element for the sustainability of production, for the planning and efficiency of processes as well as for the quality and efficiency of services. It is clear that the development of supply chain integration, especially according to business requirements and needs, will also bring sustainable success in the long term. Based on the issues identified as barriers to supply chain integration, it can offer various suggestions at the desired level sufficient to resolve the issue(s) on the ground. In this context, the study investigated and determined the obstacles to supply chain integration in manufacturing businesses, with the goal of weighting the determined criteria. For this purpose, the Interval Valued Fermatean Fuzzy SWARA method was employed to weight the identified criteria. As a result of the analyses, it was concluded that Lack of Information Technology and Sharing " is the most important criterion among the obstacles to supply chain integration, and " Incompatibility of Operational and Strategic Goals " is the least important criterion.

Xi’s Military Reforms and its Efficacy in Furthering China’s National Security Objectives

Chinese President Xi Jinping announced landmark military reforms in late 2015. The reforms intend to remove the ‘institutional obstacles, structural contradictions and policy problems’ with the aim of modernising the People’s Liberation Army’s (PLA) organisational structure in order to ‘further unleash its combat effectiveness’. They also aim to convert the PLA into a world-class force by 2049. However, assessing the reform process in the context of organisational structures and force-specific objectives, it appears that there remains much to be desired. The reforms have certainly made the PLA a better equipped regional force. But they have, thus far, only had a limited impact in terms of preparing the PLA to meet key strategic and security objectives.

Surviving a Cyberattack in Anatomic Pathology: Disaster Response and Creation of an Incident Command System

Abstract Laboratories are increasingly reliant on networked electronic health information systems and therefore especially vulnerable to prolonged downtimes for a variety of reasons, which can be planned or unanticipated events. Our hospital was the victim of a cyberattack causing a complete shutdown of all computer systems, a downtime that lasted 25 days. The effects were devastating for patients, hospital employees, financials, public opinion, and hospital operations. After a week of downtime in the anatomic pathology laboratory, it became evident that our laboratory needed to rethink our organizational structure in order to regain operational status. It was then that we developed an Incident Command System, which allowed for 2-way communication and provided the adaptability and support needed to respond to the rapid process changes needed during the crisis.

Data Lake Organization

We consider the problem of building an organizational directory of data lakes to support effective user navigation. The organization directory is defined as an acyclic graph that contains nodes representing sets of attributes and edges indicating subset relationships between nodes. A probabilistic model is constructed to model user navigational behaviour. The model also predicts the likelihood of users finding relevant tables in a data lake given an organization. We formulate the data lake organization problem as an optimization over the organizational structure in order to maximize the expected likelihood of discovering tables by navigating. An approximation algorithm is proposed with an analysis of its error bound. The effectiveness and efficiency of the algorithm are evaluated on both synthetic and real data lakes. Our experiments show that our algorithm constructs organizations that outperform many existing organizations including an existing hand-curated taxonomy, a linkage graph, and a common baseline organization. We have also conducted a formal user study which shows that navigation can help users discover relevant tables that are not easily accessible by keyword search queries. This suggests that keyword search and navigation using an organization are complementary modalities for data discovery in data lakes.

Effects of Organizational Structure Centralization on Employee Performance in Narok County Government

Organizational structure describes the formal arrangement of jobs and tasks in organizations. It describes the allocation of authority and responsibility, and how rules and regulation are executed by workers in firms. Locally, studies on the relationship between organizational structure and organizational performance remain inconclusive and contradictory as evidenced from previous studies. This study used Kenyan data and government institutions by investigating the likely impact of organizational structure on performance of County governments of Kenya taking a case of Narok County government. The specific objectives of the study examine the effect of organizational structural centralization on employee performance. The study was anchored on Goal theory and equity theory. This study adopted a descriptive research design. Both primary and secondary data was used in this study. Primary data was obtained by use of questionnaires while secondary data by use of existing records. The population of the study was all staff working in Narok County Government.

Navigating change \u2013 managers\u2019 experience of implementation processes in disability health care: a qualitative study

BackgroundEffective implementation processes play a central role in health care organizations and affect the care of patients. Managers are pivotal in facilitating the use of new practices, but their experience and how it affects the implementation outcome are still largely unknown. In the field of disability health care in particular, managers experiences have scarcely been investigated. Therefore, the aim of this study is to explore managers’ experiences of the implementation process when transferring new practices into disability health care settings.MethodsSemi-structured individual telephone interviews were conducted with managers at disability health care organizations in four administrative regions in central Sweden. A total of 23 managers with formal managerial responsibility from both public and private health care were strategically selected to be interviewed. The interviews were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis with an inductive approach.ResultsThe analysis resulted in two themes about factors influencing the implementation process: firstly, Contextual factors set the agenda for what can be achieved, which highlighted aspects that hinder or enable the implementation process, such as internal and external conditions, the workplace culture, the employees and managers’ attitudes and openness to change: secondly, Leadership in the winds of change, which described the challenges of balancing managerial tasks with leading the change, and the importance of a leadership that involves the participation of the employees.ConclusionsThis study explored how and to what extent managers address and manage the implementation process and the many associated challenges. The findings highlight the importance of leadership support and organizational structure in order to transfer new practices into the work setting, and to encourage an organizational culture for leading change that promotes positive outcomes. We suggest that identifying strategies by focusing on contextual factors and on aspects of leadership will facilitate implementation processes.Trial registrationThe SWAN (Structured Water Dance Intervention) study was retrospectively registered on April 9, 2019 and is available online at ClinicalTrials.gov (ID: NCT03908801).

A Model for Academics' Perceptions of Organizational Structure, Individual Performance and Turnover Intention

The study aims to develop a model for the relationship between the current organizational structure, along with some variables, in universities, which are an educational organization, and the perceptions of academics' individual performance and turnover intention. While the population of research is composed of all universities carrying out educational activities in Turkey, the sample of research consists of a total of 37 universities selected by quota sampling method by taking into account certain criteria. Analyses were performed on the data obtained from a total of 1242 academics working at these universities. Following the analyses, it was determined that there was a positive interaction between the enabling organizational structure and the academics' perceptions of individual performance and other positive variables, and that a positive interaction existed between the coercive organizational structure and the academics' perceptions of the turnover intention and other negative variables. Moreover, it was found that the positive relationship of the coercive organizational structure with the turnover intention and other negative variables was stronger than the negative relationship of the enabling organizational structure. Based on these results, it was concluded that it is necessary, but not sufficient, to have an enabling organizational structure in order to increase the positive feelings, attitudes and behaviours of academics.

Corporate viability and sustainability: A case study in a Mexican corporation

AbstractThis paper reports on preliminary testing of the “Self‐Transformation Methodology” (STM) to rebalance an organisational structure in order to improve the effectiveness of corporate sustainability (CS) strategy implementation. It presents the results of a pilot study where it was possible to align CS strategy and organisational structure, clarifying the required adapting and learning organisational processes and closing the learning loop by continuously monitoring sustainability indicators during this process. Additionally, it reflects on the learning and needs for further developments of the methodology. This research contributes to CS and system thinking literature with an approach to address the challenges of integrating CS initiatives into the operation of a firm. The STM methodology has shown good potential for creating a more effective context for CS strategy implementation. The research scope is limited, and in consequence, more action research is required to fully apply the adjusted methodology to further corroborate the initial findings.

Hence the researcher tries to assess management of the Ethnographic museum and its current organizational structure in order to set out proposals for the best practices and most effective organizational structures applied in museums around the world to be applied in it through research methodologies based on a theoretical, applied study, SWOT analysis of the Ethnographic museum management, analyzing questionnaires, and interviews with museum experts and professionals around all the world related to organizational structures.

Determinants of Physicians and Nurses’ Professional Satisfaction at the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital, Eldoret, Kenya

The research addressed the factors affecting physicians’ and nurses’ professional satisfaction and implications for patient care at the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital in Kenya. A descriptive quantitative research design was used. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire that was administered to a stratified sample of 82 Physicians and 220 Nurses. All the completed questionnaires were entered into IBM SPSS 21.0 statistical software and data analysed for descriptive statistics. The results were presented in tables and figures. The study was powered to 95% confidence interval. From the study findings it was deduced that most of the respondents were satisfied with the assessed factors that influenced their professional satisfaction. The factors can be classified as either intrinsic or extrinsic. These intrinsic factors included achievement, recognition, autonomy and advancement. Extrinsic factors include interpersonal relations, working conditions/workload and compensation. The study concluded that the factors that influence physicians and nurses’ professional satisfaction include workload, compensation (salary/pay), working conditions, supervisors’ role, physicians-nurses’ relationship, career advancement and autonomy. Overall, the results clearly indicate the importance of intrinsic and extrinsic factors in influencing physicians’ and nurses’ professional satisfaction. The study recommends focused efforts towards improving both intrinsic and extrinsic factors that influence physicians’ and nurses’ professional satisfaction in order to translate to improved patient care. Healthcare systems need to mainstream organizational structure in order to facilitate patient care through consultative processes with physicians and nurses. The need for interdepartmental support and strengthened working relationships between physicians and nurses in healthcare environment is an important strategy to influencing satisfaction.

ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE IN AN ENTERPRISE

Each organization, regardless on the type of activity that carries and the size that have, should have a separate organizational structure in order to function. To achieve the goals and objectives, works within the organization should be coordinated and managed. The success of any organization is associated with its leadership and its organizational structure is responsibility effective. Managers are people who organize and determine the ways of performing tasks in context the organization. They realize their mission by defining the display of organizational structure. Only organizational structure that is well defined is the guarantee for the realization of organizational goals. Enterprises that fail to build organizational structure, fail to efficiently distribute authority and responsibility among their employees and as a result fail to react quickly to changes in the surrounding environment. Therefore the study of the organizational structure has a current and practical value to the organization. Different definitions regarding the definition of the organizational structure are above all the time in which the enterprises operated and the conditions in which they function. The first historical beginnings of scientific interest in the structure of the organization begin with the members of the classical theory of organization, in which the subject of research was the formal aspect of the organization. These authors define the organizational structure of the enterprise as a static variable that changes very slowly. The main reason for such a definition, according to these authors comes due to the environmental characteristic. The environment according to them is characterized by stability. There have been no changes in the environment, but if they happen they are of poor intensity and the enterprise without any great effort can adapt to that environment. The main objective of this paper is to clarify the effect of organizational structure on the effectiveness of the organization's managers, respectively in the performance of businesses. Achieving this goal for the realization of the paper is done through the collection of primary data produced through a survey done, as the primary method of data collection. The objective of the questionnaire has been receiving information about the design of the organizational structure at the corporate level and at the business unit level and level of relational of structure with managerial success. The literature on organizational structure has widely studied how organizational structure influences the behavior of members of the organization. However, there is very little empirical data on the issues of organizational structure and its influence channels in the organization. There are two intuitive alternatives: on the one hand, the vertical chain of control gives the main differentiated effect. On the other hand, it is the degree of specialization of the members that matters most. The vertical zipper is linked and determines the level of 'bureaucracy' within the organization. A vertical structure creates a chain of command associated with the lower business units through a series of intermediate layers that takes care of executing HQ directives at a disaggregated level.

System of Anti-terrorism Actors, their Legal-Administrative Status

The article states that one of the most important problems in Ukraine in current conditions is the fight against terrorism. Counterterrorism actors are involved in countering this extremely dangerous phenomenon. The system of counterterrorism actors is a set of entities defined at the level of legislation that interact with each other in order to prevent, detect, suppress and minimize the consequences of terrorist activities. The author points out that improving the activities of these actors involves not only improving their organizational structure in order to increase mobility and flexibility in responding to changes in the dynamics of terrorism, but also strengthening the ties and interaction of relevant departments involved in anti-terrorism activities. Along with this, it is noted that civil society institutions should be involved in countering terrorism. The paper also suggests directions for improving the antiterrorist system of Ukraine. Key words: anti-terrorism actors, system of anti-terrorism actors, the President of Ukraine, Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, Anti-terror Center of the Security Service of Ukraine.
