Approaches to strengthening health information systems

The focus of this book has been on routine health unit-based information systems.

The Learning Healthcare System

Seven years ago, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) Committee on the Quality of Health Care in America released its first report, To Err Is Hu- man, finding that an estimated 44,000 to 98,000 Americans may die an- nually due to medical errors. If mortality tables routinely included medical errors as a formal cause of death, they would rank well within the ten leading killers (IOM 2000). Two years …

INTRODUCTION TO HEALTHCARE QUALITY MANAGEMENT

The healthcare industry abounds in print (and multimedia) resources on the topic of qual- ity. A Google search for “healthcare quality books” yielded 19.3 million results in 0.21 seconds—a mind-boggling figure. Some of the results don’t refer to books, and many are repetitive, but their plenitude can’t be ignored. Despite the large number of healthcare qual- ity books available, relat…

Healthcare management and the decision-making process perspective

Healthcare appears to be a world of Evidence-Based Medicine and rational decisions. Seldom available, sufficient or relevant in view of human needs, scientific evidence do not address priorities when resources are more than ever globally insufficient to an increasingly voracious system. Literature shows than evidence are not sufficient while a wide range of “stakeholders” vie to influ…
