Universal design of ICT for emergency management: A systematic literature review and research agenda
2018
The primary objectives of this article are to give a systematic overview of the current state of the emerging research field of Universal Design of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for Emergency Management, and to highlight high-impact research opportunities to ensure that the increasing introduction of ICT in Emergency Management can contribute to removing barriers instead of adding more barriers, in particular for the elderly and people with disabilities. A systematic review on various literature with respect to Universal Design, ICT and Emergency Management between 2008 to 2018 was employed in this study, and reviewed systematically using a predefined framework. The ultimat…
Improving Oral–Systemic Healthcare through the Interoperability of Electronic Medical and Dental Records: An Exploratory Study
2019
Objectives Electronic health records (EHRs) are rarely shared among medical and dental providers. The purpose of this study was to assess current information sharing and the value of improved electronic information sharing among physicians and dentists in Germany and the United States. Materials and Methods A survey was validated and distributed electronically to physicians and dentists at four academic medical centers. Respondents were asked anonymously about EHR use and the medical and dental information most valuable to their practice. Results There were 118 responses, a response rate of 23.2%. The majority (63.9%) of respondents were dentists and the remainder were physicians. Most res…
A Cross-Country Comparison of Success Factor Priorities for Health Information Technology Managers: Evidence of Convergence in the Nordic Countries
2015
The implementation of Health Information Technology (HIT) can improve the provision of highquality and efficient healthcare services; however, it has met with significant challenges in many cases. Despite the challenges occurring in many countries, prior research on HIT implementation success factors is, however, mainly from the USA. This research conducted a survey to IT managers in Nordic countries’ healthcare organizations and compiled a list of the HIT implementation success factors that these managers considered important in each country. It was found that IT managers in Nordic countries agree highly with each other intheir judgment of the importance of these success factors. While Nor…
Le flore come opere aperte: nuove soluzioni per l’archiviazione e il reperimento di informazioni botaniche
2009
Negli ultimi due decenni si sono verificati numerosi cambiamenti nell’approccio sistematico-tassonomico allo studio dei vegetali. La moderna delimitazione di ciascuna specie può includere da un lato conoscenze derivanti dall’indagine a livello ecosistemico e all’estremo opposto quelle derivanti dall’indagine a livello molecolare. La tassonomia del 21° secolo sarà sempre più fortemente orientata verso una definizione “olistica” delle specie, che verranno archiviate non più solo negli erbari, ma anche, e soprattutto, in archivi digitali interattivi, progettati per fungere da “collettori di informazione tassonomica multilivello”. In tali archivi possono infatti confluire dati morfologici, biom…
Exploring health information technology implementation success factors: a comparative investigation in Nordic countries
2016
The implementation of health information technology (HIT) can improve the quality and efficiency of healthcare services. There is a gap in terms of generalising and systematising the results of previous research and in understanding HIT implementation worldwide. The majority of studies on HIT implementation have been conducted in North America, most of which are case studies or other qualitative research. In this research, we surveyed IT managers in Nordic healthcare and used factor analysis to uncover success factor groups. Six groups emerged: culture conducive to change, quality of system and service, collaboration, alignment, end-user involvement, and management commitment. We found that…
Past, ongoing, and future debate on the interplay between internationalization and digitalization
2020
AbstractThe interplay between internationalization and digitalization (IDI) is a relatively young research domain that is finding its way into numerous academic journals, which motivates us to systematically portray the proceedings and evolutions of this interplay over time, analyze its methodological and theoretical background and, more importantly, provide insights to guide future research on these phenomena. Combining qualitative and quantitative approaches, we analyze 68 peer-reviewed international business and management papers to explore the structure of knowledge production and identify the emerging trends. Our research reveals four key stages of the debate: (a) how IDI influencesint…
La utilització de WebQuest i de Sistemes de Resposta Interactiva en l'assignatura Investigació de Mercats
2010
Aquest treball té com objectiu estudiar la importància d'implantar metodologies docents centrades en les noves tecnologies de la informació i comunicació (TIC), amb la finalitat de potenciar la participació de l'estudiant i de millorar els seus resultats d'aprenentatge. Concretament,aprofundirem en el disseny d'una WebQuest i en l'ús de Sistemes de Resposta Interactiva en l'assignatura Investigació de Mercats. Els resultats obtinguts serviran de base per a dissenyar les guies i metodologies docents de les assignatures de l'àrea de Comercialització i Investigació de Mercats en els nous estudis de grau.
Information Integration, Coordination Failures, and Quality of Prescribing
2020
Poor information flows hamper coordination, potentially leading to suboptimal decisions in health care. We examine the effects of a nationwide policy of information integration on the quality of prescribing. We use the rollout of an electronic prescribing system in Finland and prescription-level administrative data. We find no effect on the probability of co-prescribing harmful drug combinations in urban regions. In rural regions, this probability reduces substantially, by 35 percent. The effect is driven by prescriptions from unspecialized physicians and from multiple physicians. Improving the local information environment thus enhances coordination and narrows differences in the quality o…
The Steps of User-Centered Design in Health Information Technology Development: Recommendations from a PhD Research Study
2016
This study was carried out to explore the steps of User-centered Design in development of health information technology. The technology was developed in two research projects: the European Union project United4Health that created a collaborative telemedicine system for remote monitoring of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and the Southern Norway regional project eHealth-extended Care Coordination that built an information system for coordination in inter-municipal health care teams. In both projects, the end-users were involved as active contributors in a User-centered Design process spanning from idea-generation until final deployment stages. This paper presents the steps in the User-…
Disinformazione nelle città
2023
Nell‘ambito della Smart Specialisation Strategy (RIS3), strategie di innovazione nazionali o regionali per la crescita intelligente, sostenibile e inclusiva nell’Unione Europea per il prossimo decennio, finanziata dall’Unione Europea, la Regione Siciliana ha promosso il progetto Fake News in accordo con la finalità di sviluppare strumenti di scambio informativo e confronto in rete. L’obiettivo è di concentrare le risorse europee in settori tecnologici emergenti che realmente possono svilupparsi nella stessa regione puntando sulla costruzione di saperi locali, piuttosto che sul trasferimento di risorse tecnologiche esterne. Si sperimenta un’applicazione di tecnologie ICT al fenomeno della di…
