The document discusses the role of information systems/technology (IS/IT) in healthcare. It outlines key developments like aging populations and increasing healthcare costs. IS/IT can help make healthcare systems more efficient, less fragmented, improve quality, and reduce costs. The US spends more on healthcare than any other country but health reform may help improve access and affordability. The document also summarizes different types of healthcare IS/IT and potential benefits and costs of implementing health information technology.
Investment decisions for pension funds by intangible value capitalJAYARAMAN IYER
Pension funds globally held record assets of $20.1 trillion in 2011 but experienced negative average returns of -1.7% due to falling stock markets. The US had the largest pension assets at $10.6 trillion but returns fell -3%. Pension funds most exposed to European sovereign debt also saw losses. Intangible Value Capital is proposed as a new framework to rate pension funds and corporate equity portfolios based on intellectual, emotional, and people capital to identify sustainable long-term performers and guide investment decisions. Rated companies with high intangible value are recommended for pension funds seeking more stable returns.
- Technology can help enhance healthcare delivery and improve patient care by enabling remote monitoring, facilitating communication between patients and providers, and supporting self-management.

Healthcare Information Systems - Past, Present, and FutureHealth Catalyst
The document discusses the evolution of healthcare information systems from the 1960s to present day. It begins with early systems focused on hospital accounting and administrative functions. Over time, systems expanded to support clinical departments, integrated hospital operations, and began incorporating patient data. The proliferation of these transaction systems created large amounts of siloed healthcare data. Today, chief information officers are under pressure to implement enterprise analytics solutions to merge this data and drive performance improvement through analysis of comprehensive clinical and operational information.

This report analyzes consumer spending trends in emerging and developed markets. It finds that while some consumer tastes are converging as incomes rise in emerging markets, differences between markets remain. Food spending remains a priority in most countries. However, spending is shifting to more expensive prepared foods. Household products and beauty products are also expected to see strong growth. China is projected to see the highest growth rates for most consumer categories. Overall, the report finds convergence in consumer tastes globally but still significant divergence driven by local factors.
The document discusses health spending trends and sustainability. It finds that while spending is growing, it is not unsustainable and growth is not out of control. Age-related cost increases can be managed through anticipation. However, the application of resources may not be efficient. Reforms aimed at improving efficiency, such as reducing staffing and supply costs, could achieve annual savings of up to 5% of GDP.

Equality diversity and human rights strategic frameworkTerence Reeves
This document outlines the Equality, Diversity and Human Rights Overarching Strategic Framework for 2010-2016. It establishes the purpose, roles, and key strategic aims of the framework, which is to provide guidance on promoting equal opportunities, human rights, and challenging discrimination. The framework will be implemented through cascading equality actions and targets throughout the Trust's plans and projects. Progress will be monitored to ensure the Trust delivers on its goals of mainstreaming equality and diversity.
OCARIoT will develop an IoT-based personalised coaching solution guiding children to adopt healthy eating and physical activity behaviour. The IoT network will allow observing child activity patterns of daily living, health evolution, physiological & behavioural parameters and environmental data. All this information combined with medical patterns will allows OCARIoT to provide a customised obesity coaching plan while enabling children to remain active and engaged in their well-being and healthy habits management.
The proposed solution will be able to empower children (and also educational staff and families) in taking control of their health by collecting real-time information about nutrition and physical activity, and interconnecting doctors and children (including parents and tutors) in order to adapt the individual obesity coaching plan. OCARIoT will demonstrate and validate its results on three specific pilot sites in Spain, Greece and Brazil.
The OCARIoT consortium will ensure children’s rights and data privacy, security and confidentiality through an Ethics Board composed by healthcare professionals and children representatives from different EU and Brazil organisations.

This document summarizes an OECD report on the French economy. It finds that while well-being is high in France, per capita growth has been weak for some time and unemployment remains high, especially among youth. It recommends that France speed up structural reforms to improve growth prospects, lower public spending substantially in the medium term to reduce taxes, reform the inflexible labor market, and strengthen vocational education. Fully implementing ambitious structural reforms across these areas could boost France's GDP by up to 4% by 2025.

Lecture on the role of IS/IT in the healthcare domain. Various types of IS/IT are introduced. Also, the benefits of IS/IT in healthcare are outlined. Various developments in healthcare from a hospital CXO perspective are specified. Finally, I will also presentbenefits and costs associated with the implementation of health information technology.
Lecture on the role of information systems within healthcare. Adressing the various types of information systems and their respective benefits. Also, PACS maturity as a concept is introduced.
This paper describes a study of the adoption of Picture Archiving and Communication Systems(PACS). The objective of this study is threefold. First, the adoption rate of PACS by European hospitals is described in relation to the use of other medical information systems. From this, a Medical Information Systems Maturity Scale (MISIS) for hospitals is statistically constructed. The second objective is to identify the key determinants of a hospitals’ score on MISIS, i.e. analyzing the situationality of the scale. The final objective of the paper is to explain and the variation in Medical Information System Maturity among hospitals in Europe. Using the results of this empirical analysis we set out general guidelines for the evolution of PACS maturity [1] within hospitals, based on principals of strategic alignment and situational growth.
As investments in healthcare are expanding and medical imaging technology are maturing, the need for structured measurement approaches and holistic evaluation methods is expanding. The wider adoption of Technology Assessments (TA), and the fact that hospitals are re-evaluating their current PACS implementations, reflects this demand. No recognized work structurally defines what PACS performance constitutes, however. Based on TA models for diagnostic imaging technology and levels of (clinical) efficacy [1-3], and balanced evaluation models [4], we define PACS performance as: the multi-factorial impacts and benefits produced by the application of PACS in terms of hospital efficiency and clinical effectiveness with respect to PACS workflow and patients’ clinical journey. In this paper, the authors review PACS performance according to a predefined literature search protocol, and apply a meta-analytic approach that synthesizes these sources.
