Health care systems need to be resilient deal with disasters like the global spread of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) on top serving changing needs a multi-morbid, ageing and often dispersed population. This paper identifies, discusses augments critical dimensions resilience retrieved from academic literature. It pulls together an integrated concept characterised by organisational capabilities. Our does not focus micro-level most literature in health but addresses...
This article studies how to dimension and control at the system level a fleet of autonomous aerial vehicles delivering goods from depots customers. Customer requests (jobs) arrive according space-time stochastic process. We compute lower bound for infrastructure expenditure required achieve certain expected delivery time. It is shown that job assignment policies can exhibit tipping point behavior: One vehicle makes difference between almost optimal time instability. phenomenon calls careful...
Drug use and related problems change substantially over time, so it seems plausible that drug interventions should vary too. To investigate this possibility, we set up a continuous time version of the first-order difference equation model cocaine introduced by Everingham Rydell (1994), extended to make initiation an endogenous function prevalence. We then formulate solve treatment prevention spending decisions in framework dynamic optimal control under different assumptions about how freely...
In an increasingly complex and uncertain environment, disciplinary knowledge alone is no longer sufficient advanced thinking skills creative mindsets are a necessity. Meta-competences, that include creativity, go beyond domain-specific competences needed to cope with these new societal challenges real-world problems. However, the methodological question arises how such phenomenon can be investigated it adequately described. this paper we applied method of proposition-based Expert Round...
This article analyzes two classes of job selection policies that control how a network autonomous aerial vehicles delivers goods from depots to customers.Customer requests (jobs) occur according spatio-temporal stochastic process not known by the system.If uses policy in which first (FJ) is served first, system may collapse instability removing just one vehicle.Policies serve nearest (NJ) show such threshold behavior only some settings and can be implemented distributed manner.The timing has...
Financial resources are scarce, which is why corporate capital budgeting needs to employ efficient allocation mechanisms. This paper conceptually transforms the idea behind a hurdle rate-based coordination mechanism from an agency model into computational of multi-divisional corporation with both heterogeneous departments and investment opportunities competing for same source funding. On basis our results, we reason that recurrent use can work efficiently only if intra-organizational...
Presenting complaints at an Emergency Department (ED) that could (and should) have been seen in primary care are discussed the literature as 'inappropriate use' of hospital-based emergency services. These medically inappropriate requests perceived a threat to service quality, implying more costs than necessary. Using Systems Thinking/Dynamics, this paper introduces evidence-based framework explain why people increasingly attend ED instead primary-care-based facility, with patient...
Introduction There is growing evidence within the healthcare sector that employee investigations can harm individuals involved in process, an organization’s culture and delivery of its services. Methods This paper details intervention developed by NHS Wales organization to reduce number through organization-wide focus promoted a ‘last resort’ approach introduced concept ‘avoidable harm’. A range associated improvement initiatives were support behavior change among those responsible for...
We use a predator-prey representation of an urban system to analyse how policy interventions can prevent the adverse effects air pollution on people's health. The number residents is treated as prey variable, and particulate matter that consists particles with diameter up 10 micrometres (PM10) predator variable. This allows integration population trends environmental average level PM10 concentration (which establishes baseline for potential health burden residents). For case Graz, Austria,...
Introduction Depression is a common mental health condition that affects millions of people worldwide. Care pathways for depression are complex and the demand across different parts healthcare system often uncertain not entirely understood. Clinical progression with can be equally relates to whether or patient seeking care, care pathway they on, ability timely access services. Considering both however rarely studied together in literature. Methods This paper presents hybrid simulation...
