The innovative impact of advancing e-Health technologies is more frequently being discussed in nursing science. Nurses play an important role in collecting data and giving support to other users, especially in home care. Since issues of acceptance play a major role, the following article, which presents findings based on a focus group consisting of the elderly, caretaking relatives and professional nurses, is discussed from an ethical point of view in the context of international debate. It is interesting to note, that to some extent there is substantial ambivalence in the willingness to integrate such technologies into daily care. A need for technical assistance is clearly recognizable, however, limits as well. The authors’ findings indicate that a fundamental discussion on the relevance of e-Health methods in professional nursing needs to be held. It should address the ethical questions of often conflicting interests and rights (protection of identity, privacy and safety) in situations of high vulnerability.

Background: Longevity and population growth generate an increase in the number of people with dependency, who require homecare assistance to meet their health needs. Homecare support workers provide this care in Spain, and they may have unique insights into the unmet health needs of those receiving homecare assistance. The aim of this study was to determine the unmet health needs of people with dependency based on the perspective of homecare support workers. Methods: Qualitative exploratory-descriptive study. Through convenience sampling, homecare support workers from a Spanish province were selected, following inclusion and exclusion criteria. Four focus groups, transcription and thematic analyses were performed using Atlas.ti. Coding triangulation was carried out, applying criteria for scientific rigour. Results: The six themes obtained were classified into the material, psychoemotional, socioeconomical and psychosocial needs of people with dependency from the point of view of homecare support workers, along with the contributions of improvements and the need of these professionals for continuous training. Conclusions: People with dependency need complex technical assistance, materials, psychological attention due to their situation, and more effective assessments of their health and disability status. Homecare support workers perceive themselves to be essential in these assessments. They ask for psychological assistance, due to the emotional burden of their work, and believe this help would contribute to improving the quality of their service. Homecare support workers perceive that they are capable of performing their job, although they believe that some delegated activities are beyond their levels of competency.

The article presents the structure of infocommunication systems of unmanned transport systems developed by the author, which combines the main information subsystems of the control loop in Advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and shows their interaction. The analysis of the architecture of the ADAS system as a complex system from the point of view of the application of Mesarovich's theory of hierarchical multilevel systems is given (also known as stratification process) - as a result of which ADAS infocommunication systems are presented in the form of a hierarchy of the strata-layers-echelons type. Such a representation has scientific novelty as the application of stratification methods to the description of ADAS infocommunication systems and practical value in the design of the ADAS architecture and the creation of templates for the design of unmanned transport systems infocommunication subsystems.

The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of general practitioners’ perspectives across key criteria for effective chronic disease management. The study setting is the Tuscany Region in Italy that implemented the Chronic Care Model in 2010 with multidisciplinary team to assist chronic patients. We used the results of a web-based survey of general practitioners (N = 1136) conducted in 2015 to compare the experiences and satisfaction of general practitioners involved (group 1) and not involved (group 2) in the Chronic Care Model. The analysis included all general practitioners, and compared the two groups’ perspectives of the different core aspects of Chronic Care Model through conducting an ANOVA analysis and Bonferroni test. General practitioners involved in the Chronic Care Model are found to be more favourably disposed toward measurement and benchmarking, and more satisfied in terms of decision support system. Conversely, no significant differences were found in terms of collaboration with specialists, which remains weak and in terms of community collaboration and involvement. This study provides a detailed investigation of the implementation of Disease Management Programs, by considering the professional point of view.

This paper on Bosnia and Herzegovina presents the report on the government finance statistics technical assistance mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Further on developing reconciliation processes, the mission provisionally finalized research to establish reconciliation procedures, without fully eliminating statistical discrepancies. On the compiling of nonbudgetary public sector units, the mission continued the development of compilation processes as started during the May 2018 mission. Considering the differences in outcomes on balance sheet transactions between the ‘old’ and the ‘new’ compilation process, further research is required to test the plausibility of these compilation processes and outcomes. The mission will liaise with IMF’s European Department on an appropriate implementation procedure in coordination with other reporting units in Bosnia and Herzegovina that are also revising fiscal surveillance to the Government Finance Statistics Manual 2014 framework. The mission succeeded in resolving statistical discrepancies—at least from accounting technical point of view.
