                    Book Description

                    Performance management is a management philosophy which focuses sharply on the achievement of good and sustainable results. It starts with a strategic process that takes account of internal and external factors and works out clearly defined, measurable strategic objectives, which are then put into operation. Performance management in the healthcare sector aims to constantly improve the results of the best possible healthcare processes by making optimal use of tools.

                    This text begins by addressing the organizational preconditions and provides a step-by-step approach for the realization of performance management in a healthcare organization. It then proceeds to discuss the relevance of performance management to disease management and the professional development of the discipline, and concludes with the topical debate on the publication of results and a set of case histories.

                      Book Description

                      This breakthrough book addresses the urgent need for a systematic review and understanding of the science and art of performance measurement systems. Given the mandatory requirements for accreditation, all health care providing organizations will have to demonstrate value through scientific, quantitative methods of measurement. No other book offers the much-needed "how-to" guidance found in this reference.

                      Healthcare and Performance Measurement describes how to design and evaluate a performance measurement system from top to bottom. The book includes a large section on stories from the field coupled with the authors' extensive personal experience in developing and evaluating performance measures. It also contains essential statistical and methodological information that is needed to design and evaluate performance measurement systems.

                      Written by well-recognized experts and authors in the health care field, the book provides step-by-step instruction on the design and evaluation of performance measurement systems. In understanding how a performance assessment project works, this book discusses the two most important disciplines for designing and evaluating performance systems: epidemiology and psychometrics. Each of these disciplines is discussed in length so the reader will understand why a systematic approach to assessment and evaluation of performance systems is necessary.

                                      Book Description

                                      Intelligent systems try to achieve, through the use of computers, what we associate with intelligence - flexible, learning and adaptive activity like we find in the human brain. For the first time, this groundbreaking resource provides a detailed understanding of the analysis, design, and application of new intelligent systems in the biomedical industry. The book covers the three major areas of application in biomedicine, including the modeling and control in human anaesthesia, decision support for critically ill patients in intensive care units, and modeling of humans who are subjected to physiological stress. The culmination of more than 18 years of research, this cutting-edge reference offers practical modeling and control guidance by presenting a combination of simulations, real-time experiments, and actual patient data.

                                        5 out of 5 stars Major editorial event for neuro-fuzzy medical comunity.......2000-04-23

                                        The monograph, containing interdisciplinary studies on the use of neuro-fuzzy paradigm in medicine and biomedical applications, is structured in three parts and is composed of contributed papers by independent teams of researchers. It creates a bridge between two scientific communities, information technology researchers, on one side and specialists in medicine and biomedical engineering, on the other side, filling a gap that originates in the lack of communication between the two parties. The book brings to the reader contributions by researchers who have been active in the field in the past few years. The list of authors comprises 35 researchers affiliated to outstanding research and academic institutions that cover a very wide geographic area. The monograph addresses a large range of readers, including fuzzy - engineering community, researchers in medicine and biomedical engineering, teachers, doctoral students. Each chapter is provided with an extended list of references, and most of contributed papers contain comprehensive explanation of terminology. At the end of the book, a very rich index of terms is given. A very good idea is having a section that introduces the contributors to the reader, so the papers can be placed in the larger context of their scientific work. We state that the monograph is a major contribution to the dissemination of knowledge in the scientific community; no doubt that we face an editorial event. The book may be regarded as a good acquisition for the reader involved in the approached scientific domains.

                                          The book covers recent developments in theory, methodologies and applications of fuzzy logic in medicine. A representative and diverse range of original and innovative topics is selected, giving an overall perspective of the current state and future trends in the field. Medical image processing, monitoring and control of anaesthesia, ECG and EEG signal processing are some of the application topics the book addresses. Emerging methodologies like fuzzy temporal representation of knowledge or rule acquisition extracted from medical data are also described. Undoubtedly those new frameworks will extend the use of fuzzy logic into different fields in medicine in the near future.

                                              Book Description

                                              Provides an introduction to the fundamental concepts of fuzziness together with a compilation of recent advances in the application to medicine. The tutorials in the first part of the book range from basic concepts through theoretical frameworks to rule simplification through data clustering methodologies and the design of multivariate rule bases through self-learning by mapping fuzzy systems onto neural network structures. The case studies which follow are representative of the wide range of applications currently pursued in relation to medicine. The majority of applications presented in this book are about bridging the gap between low-level sensor measurements and intermediate or high-level data representations. The book offers a comprehensive perspective from leading authorities world-wide and provides a tantalising glimpse into the role of sophisticated knowledge engineering methods in shaping the landscape of medical technology in the future.
