Healthcare Systems Sustainability. Is sustainability of healthcare possible without eHealth?: The Singapore experience. Muttit S. eHealth week 2010 (Barcelona: CCIB Convention Centre; 2010)
Doing business in China presents opportunities and challenges for Finnish companies. China's economy is growing rapidly and will continue to be an important market. However, the business environment in China is complex. Local presence through a subsidiary, joint venture, or other partnership is often necessary to be competitive due to advantages in communication, price, service, and other factors. Finnish companies should localize operations in China to be close to customers, understand their needs, and communicate effectively in the local language and business culture for long term success in this important and growing market.
The document summarizes healthcare systems in Singapore and Britain. In Singapore, healthcare is managed through individual responsibility via programs like Medisave, employer or government support, and community organizations. The government aims to make healthcare affordable while encouraging self-reliance and healthy lifestyles. Overall, Singapore's system has been largely successful in providing high quality and affordable care through individual, government and community cooperation. In Britain, healthcare is provided through the National Health Service, which aims to ensure basic medical services and end poverty and disease.
The document discusses the organizational grapevine and assimilation process. It defines the grapevine as informal communication pathways where unofficial information travels. There are different types of grapevine chains like single strand, gossip, and cluster chains. The grapevine allows for quick information sharing but rumors and inaccuracies are common. While it can reduce anxiety and identify problems, it also spreads partial information and distracts from work. New employees go through an assimilation process including anticipatory socialization before joining, learning reality in the encounter phase, and adapting their behaviors in the metamorphosis phase. Communication tactics during assimilation include interviews, information seeking, and defining one's role.

Organizational culture and challenges in heathcare organizationspadma puppala
This document discusses organizational culture in healthcare. It begins by defining organizational culture as the shared behaviors, values, beliefs, and attitudes of a group that are passed down over generations. It then examines the unique challenges of culture in healthcare settings, which include demanding work environments, stress, lack of work-life balance, and limited social support systems. The document also explores Edgar Schein's model of organizational culture, which identifies artifacts, espoused values, and underlying assumptions. Finally, it notes that an organization's culture can powerfully impact its human resources, patient satisfaction, employee satisfaction, and economic performance. An organization must clearly define, reinforce, and reward its cultural values to create and maintain a constructive culture.

Organizational culture is defined as the shared meanings, values, and beliefs of members within an organization. It distinguishes one organization from others and influences employee behavior. Strong cultures provide benefits like consistency and commitment but can also lead to inflexibility and resistance to change. National culture differs from organizational culture in its level of impact on employees and origins from consistency in practices rather than values. An organization's culture defines its identity, provides a sense of purpose, and facilitates commitment among members.

It provides overviews of Tata Motors and Ford Motors, discussing their missions, visions, and histories. The document also covers the cultures at both companies, how they approach innovation, ethics, customer service, and social responsibility. It discusses the roles of CEOs in transforming company culture.
Organizational culture is defined as the shared beliefs, customs, traditions, and values of an organization's members. It is shaped by an organization's founders, leaders, selection practices, and socialization of new employees. Maintaining culture involves selecting new members who share the existing values and socializing them to accept prevailing norms and customs through stories, rituals, symbols, and language used in the organization.
Organizational culture refers to the shared values, beliefs, and behaviors of members of an organization. A strong organizational culture can attract and retain talent, engage employees, create energy and momentum, and make everyone more successful. Culture is learned through stories, rituals, symbols, and language within the organization. Founders and top management play important roles in establishing and maintaining an organization's culture through selection practices, actions, and socialization of new employees. While difficult to change, understanding organizational culture is important for managing change within a company.
This document defines organizational culture and describes its key elements. It discusses that culture is comprised of shared beliefs, assumptions, values and norms that shape group behavior. Culture is transmitted through socialization and exists when shared by most group members, passed between generations, and influences behavior. The core elements of culture include observable practices/symbols and deeper assumptions/values. The document then examines different types of organizational cultures like bureaucratic, clan, market, and entrepreneurial cultures and how they influence behaviors and performance. Finally, it discusses how strong, well-socialized cultures can enhance performance and satisfaction if a common style is developed and reinforced.
Organizational culture refers to shared meanings and behaviors among members of an organization. It is shaped by founders and reinforced over time through socialization, stories, rituals, and symbols. A strong culture with clear values can increase commitment and coordination but may also resist change and diversity. Managers can develop an ethical culture through role modeling, training, and rewarding ethical conduct. National culture also influences how organizational culture is expressed in other countries.

Healthcare in China has seen significant reforms in recent years as the government aims to provide universal healthcare coverage. Healthcare spending per capita in China is much lower than countries like Japan, Hong Kong, and Australia. Key statistics show there are still shortages of healthcare resources in China like doctors and hospital beds compared to its population. Recent healthcare reforms in China focus on developing basic framework for medical services, consolidating the pharmaceutical industry, and providing both urban and rural residents with essential healthcare.

Japan is reaching its major turning point. The increasing need for medical care and nursing is evident due to the rapidly aging population. According to the estimates, the number of 65+ year-olds increases about 7.09 million over 15 years (from 2010 to 2025) and the ratio of the aged to the total population surges from 23% to 30%.
1) The document discusses the business opportunity of establishing elder care facilities and integrating Ayurvedic and wellness services in India.
2) It notes that the elderly population in India is projected to grow significantly in the coming decades, creating a major need for elder care services. Integrating Ayurvedic treatments could make elder care facilities profitable while providing benefits.
3) The proposal outlines plans to establish elder care facilities across major cities in India with 1000 beds each, aiming for 6000-9000 beds total by 2026. It presents financial projections indicating the investments would be recouped within a year and be highly profitable.
The document discusses Medicare spending and proposals for reforming the program. It shows that while Medicare spending growth has slowed in recent years, it still grows significantly faster than GDP. If trends continue, Medicare and other health spending will account for over 17% of GDP by 2037. The document proposes several reforms to make Medicare more sustainable, such as combining Parts A and B, limiting first dollar Medigap coverage, introducing competitive bidding similar to Part D, permanently fixing physician payments, and gradually raising the eligibility age in line with increasing longevity.
PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) is a Medicare and Medicaid program started in 1973 in San Francisco that provides comprehensive medical and social services to elderly individuals so they can live in their community rather than a nursing home. Services include adult day care, home care, transportation, and more. It aims to improve care for seniors by coordinating their needs and encouraging participation. However, expanding PACE requires additional funding, workers, and addressing eligibility requirements as barriers include geography, labor shortages, and qualifying populations. Overall, the program allows seniors to age with dignity in their community and should be expanded.
Turkish health system forecast 2010 2050 for hacettepeMatthew Lister
The document discusses trends in health systems and forecasts for Turkey's health system from 1995 to 2050. It analyzes life expectancy trends in G8 countries including Turkey from 1970 to 2008. It also examines population distribution shifts in Turkey from 1995 to 2005 that will impact health system needs.

using innovation in tobacco - prakit vathesatogkitNCAS1
The document proposes establishing a Thai Health Promotion Fund to support health promotion activities outside of the Ministry of Health (MOH). The new approach would focus on lifestyle and environmental factors to promote population health, rather than only providing services to the sick. The fund would receive 2% of alcohol and tobacco tax revenues annually to support a more sustainable and predictable budget for health promotion programs led by various government agencies and non-profits. Key provisions and regulations would ensure transparency and accountability for use of the funds.
Final-A-Gender-Analysis-of-Livelihood-Interventions-with-the-Extreme-Poor-in-...Marie Sophie Pettersson
The document provides a gendered analysis of livelihood interventions for extreme poor households in Bangladesh. It finds that:
1) Initial program design did not include adequate gender analysis, resulting in interventions that did not fully consider women's empowerment or constraints faced by female-headed households.
2) Data shows female-headed households performed worse in graduating from extreme poverty and were less likely to benefit from income-generating activities than male-headed households.
3) Successful interventions require moving beyond simply targeting women, and must address underlying gender inequalities, empower women in decision-making, and involve both men and women in transforming social norms.
This report provides an Asia-Pacific economic forecast and analysis of key issues that will influence regional economies and Hawaii over the coming decade. In the near-term, slowing growth is expected in most Asia-Pacific economies due to challenges in Western economies. Longer-term trends discussed include Japan's recovery from the 2011 earthquake, population aging in Korea and other Asian countries, emerging economies' exposure to Western economic shocks through global supply chains, and China's transition to a consumer economy. The report also examines implications for Hawaii tourism and broader economic policy in an Asia-Pacific century.
This survey summarizes the responses of 52 biotechnology companies regarding business sentiment, financing, employment, and government policy issues. Key findings include:
- Business sentiment is optimistic, with 75% expecting business growth in 2011. However, only 13% said the operating environment supports industry growth.
- Over half of respondents plan to raise capital in 2011, with 23% having less than 12 months of funding. Access to capital is a major challenge.
- Delays to the R&D Tax Credit legislation were the most concerning federal policy issue, identified by 61% of respondents.
- 76% said state government support for biotechnology was the most important state-level issue.
Thailand has made progress toward developing its national eHealth system but still faces challenges. The country has high adoption of health IT by providers but fragmented systems. Experts recommend prioritizing eHealth foundations like governance, standards, and privacy laws. In response, Thailand established a National Health Information Committee and is developing standards. Moving forward, partnerships, research, and capacity building will help Thailand achieve interoperable health information exchange.
Muang Thai Life Assurance is the first Thai insurer to fully cover telemedicine through outpatient (OPD) coverage. Telemedicine is growing rapidly in Asia, though it is still new compared to more developed markets like the US. In 2018, Muang Thai Life Assurance piloted internal telemedicine with 2,000 employees and found high interest, though recognized barriers to usage that OPD coverage could address. In 2019, they launched the most innovative telemedicine program for insurance customers, providing coverage for telemedicine consultation and medicine costs through OPD coverage. This program is only the first step in Muang Thai Life Assurance's goal to maximize health outcomes.

This guideline is directed principally toward new Molecular Entities that are
likely to have significant use in the elderly, either because the disease intended
to be treated is characteristically a disease of aging ( e.g., Alzheimer's disease) or
because the population to be treated is known to include substantial numbers of
geriatric patients (e.g., hypertension).

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort.

8. Political Vision
Integrated Healthcare System
“ What does it mean when we say our population will be older? It means there
will be more demand on healthcare because older people are sick more often.
But this also means it is
a different pattern of healthcare
So we have to respond to this by putting in
more resources into our hospital system,
building new hospitals.
… get the whole system to be structured
properly so that it will be adapted to cater
o the ageing population. To structure
it properly means we need step-down care.”
Picture taken from asiaone.com
“ And one key thing we must do with this step-down care is to link up our
acute hospitals […] with community hospitals, so that you can have the
best of both worlds. ”

15. Vision of “One Patient, One Record”
The EHR is an integrated healthcare record centered on
each person. It extracts and consolidates in one record,
all clinically relevant information from their encounters
across the healthcare system throughout his/her life.
Secure “real-time” access to patients’ EHR by authorised
clinicians and healthcare providers:
enable greater coordination and informed decision-making,
resulting in more accurate diagnosis, better treatment and
patient-centric integrated care.
