Using System Dynamics and Group Model Building to conceptualise Quality of Hospital Services

Despite the well-established Donabedian model of hospital quality and the notion that Performance Measurement (PM) leads to improved quality of healthcare services (Donabedian, 1988; 2005), a growing part of literature during the last two decades has started doubting those favourable outcomes of PM on quality (De Vos, et al., 2009; Nolan & Berwick, 2006; Werner et al., 2008a, 2008b; Werner & Bradlow, 2006; Wright & Hershman, 2014). The purpose of this research study is to build a more comprehensive conceptual model of hospital quality, able to encompass the feedback mechanisms between elements that the Donabedian model fails to capture. More specifically, we empirically establis…

THE ROLE OF TRUST IN THE ESCALATION OF IN-HOSPITAL CONFLICT

Εισαγωγή Αν και η εμπιστοσύνη φαίνεται να επηρεάζει θετικά την έκβαση των εργασιακών συγκρούσεων, οι ερευνητές δεν έχουν ακόμη κατανοήσει ακριβώς πως συμβάλει στη δημιουργία, την κλιμάκωση και την έκβαση των ενδονοσοκομειακών συγκρούσεων.

Satisfaction with and reliability of in-hospital video-EEG monitoring systems in epilepsy diagnosis – A German multicenter experience

2021

OBJECTIVE: To analyze satisfaction with and reliability of video-electroencephalography-monitoring systems (VEMS) in epilepsy diagnostics.; METHODS: A survey was conducted between December 2020 and January 2021 among German epilepsy centers using well-established customer satisfaction (CS) and quality assurance metrics.; RESULTS: Among 16 participating centers, CS with VEMS was low, with only 13% of customers actively recommending their system. Only 50% of users were satisfied with the overall performance of their VEMS, and a low 18% were satisfied with the manufacturer's customer service. User interface, software stability, lack of regular updates, and missing customer-oriented improvement…

Efficacy of coronary revascularization in patients with acute chest pain managed in a chest pain unit.

2009

To investigate the safety of discharge of patients deemed at low risk of cardiac events after evaluation in a chest pain unit and to determine the prognostic effect of revascularization of patients deemed at high risk.The study population consisted of 1088 patients presenting at the emergency department from January 15, 2001, to September 1, 2006, with chest pain but without ischemia on electrocardiography or troponin elevation. Patients were managed by a chest pain unit protocol that included early exercise testing. Three groups of patients were distinguished: (1) those discharged after exercise testing (424 [39%]); (2) those in whom unstable angina was ruled out after in-hospital evaluati…
