Mary Dixon-Woods, Rene Amalberti, Steve Goodman, Bo Bergman and Paul Glasziou/ Problems and promises of innovation: why healthcare needs to rethink its love/hate relationship with the new

The authors discuss the role of innovation and its impact on quality and improvement. The journal identify the problems of innovation.

Problems and promises of innovation

Healthcare professionals, patients e.t.c.

Literature review

Health system, wisdom and democracy

The thought of rationality is the main driver of innovation in health systems. Non-rational collective decisions should be considered the norm rather than the outlier.

What is the evidence that the procedure improves outcomes in other settings, while recognising the complexities of generalisation? How should we monitor the introduction?

There is increased risks and costs of innovation, including the disruptive effects.

Improve training of health professionals to deal with the challenges—both positive and negative—of innovation.

Manish Kurkekar, Joydip Goshal/ The technological innovations in healthcare industry

Encourage innovation and gather data in an organized manner.

Technological innovation in health care industry.w4

Patients and health care professional

Cross section design

Risk and time

A methodology should be provided as well as offered in phase by phase process to address risk and nurture technologies

The technology innovation must be nurtured and fostered in an environment which is radically different from the existing setting.

The technology innovation must be nurtured and fostered in an environment which is radically different from the existing setting.

Quality services are offered to the patients at reduced cost, maintain patient history, as well as there is provision of pre-certification services

John Bessant / Opening up healthcare innovation

Raise the quality as well as international standing of UK research on management. To identify actions to enhance the UK’s international competitiveness.

Opening up healthcare innovation

Patients, health care professionals, payers, regulator and supplier.

Case study

Cost of services

Reliable and high quality healthcare should be provide at a sustainable cost.

Why can it be conducted by a single player?

How the innovation will be accelerated across the sector.

patients obtain easier access to health-related information and are able to gain a better understanding of their health status

innovation returns, market rewards

There is Increased health care value.

How is this innovation applicable to non-IDS systems and to any system without an EHR, an enterprise wide data

System-payment failure. High cost involve.

It benefits patient in a setting where many or most patients would be excluded from randomized trials because of age, comorbidities, and other limiting factors.

Raluca Andreea Popa / The Corporate Social Responsibility Practices in The Context of Sustainable Development. The case of Romania

The author analyses the corporate social responsibility issue as well as the means to integrate it into long term

strategies of the companies that activate in the Romanian business environment.

Practices in The Context of Sustainable Development.

Quantitative research

companies

There a growing concern for social responsibility at the corporate level. There is also an increase in the social benefit to the society.

No laws that impose annual reporting of CSR. No coherent public policies to promote and support CSR

Low involvement of SMEs in CSR programs. Low level of awareness and non-application of consumer rights. Insufficient knowledge of the CSR within the company.

Increasing number of CSR programs nationwide

Richard E. Smith / Defining Corporate Social Responsibility: A Systems Approach For Socially Responsible Capitalism

The author described business system that enables the production and distribution of wealth for the stakeholders through the implementation and integration of ethical systems and sustainable management practices.

Corporate Social Responsibility

Supplier, consumers, employee, government etc.

The better approach is to perform

strategic philanthropy because it creation of a new market opportunities, improved

social relations as well as take advantage of opportunities for innovation

/ The illusion of righteousness: corporate social responsibility practices of the alcohol industry

Determine if alcohol industry developed policy that influence people from taking alcohol

Corporate social responsibility practices of the alcohol industry

Alcohol industry

Qualitative method

Alcohol manufacturer, companies and corporations.

Alcohol manufacturers employ CSR as a means to frame issues, define problems and guide policy debates. The increasing penetration and involvement of the alcohol industry into CSR is indicating the urgent needs for public health counter actions.

Should a corporation whose main concern is with yielding profit be permitted to participate in campaigns to regulate the promotion, sale and consumption of alcohol?

Limited independent input and a lack of comprehensive enforcement. advertising has a negligible if any influence on underage drinking

alcohol industry’s CSR engagement is not only a mechanism for the preservation of corporate interests but a platform through which members of the industry seek to invalidate a broader public health perspective on problems associated with alcohol consumption and influence the public and policy makers

John A. Caldwell/Crew Schedules, Sleep Deprivation, and Aviation Performance

Address the effects of pilot fatigue on aviation performance.

Pilot fatigue on performance

A sample of F-117 pilots illustrated the basic fatigue-related decrements in a performance that can ultimately lead to significant operational problems.

Case study of F-117 pilots

None

Sleep and circadian factors are still a significant problem in aviation. With technology advances in computerized fatigue models help with scheduling factors on aircrews.

None

Regulations that are designed to manage fatigue in operational environments have not sufficiently the sleep and circadian factors.

None

John A. Caldwell, J. Lynn Caldwell, Regina Schmidt /Alertness Management Strategies for Operational Contexts

Addresses the problem of fatigue, attributable to sleep loss in modern society and the scientifically proven strategies useful for reducing fatigue-related risks.

None

None

None

Fatigue is still an overwhelming problem in today's society; this can affect the performance of pilots, including the reaction time, alertness, decision-making and cognitive processing. Fatigue is still one of the greatest threat to the aviation safety. There are several countermeasures that may alleviate fatigue.

Worldwide airports charge differently between peak and off peak periods, this practice has not applied worldwide. Instead, additional flights scheduled during the congestion periods have increased delays.

Ricardo Flores-Fillol / 'Airline Competition and Network Structure'

Airport congestion is caused by a number of landings and take-offs during in a day. As airlines use smaller aircraft to be competitive environment. These smaller aircraft use the same resources as the larger aircraft.

Hub congestion, the flight frequency, and aircraft size

Network of three cities (a hub H and two Spoke airports A, B), two airlines (1 and 2), and three city-pairing markets: two local markets (AH and BH) and a connecting market (AB).

Scenario

Independent Variable is the multiple flights of smaller aircraft from the same airline daily to the same hub. Dependent variable is airport hub congestion.

Airport congestion is part in fault of airlines over using smaller aircraft, scheduling more takeoffs and landings which is aggravating congestion at these hubs. If the airports would adopt congestion pricing instead of the current pricing
