What Matters

This chapter introduces a modelling language called Awareness Net for both representation as well as measuring the knowledge-sharing requirements in collaborative business processes. It is a conceptual model that facilitates representation and analysis of knowledge-sharing requirements of the actors in collaborative business processes. The representation and measurement are handled by a set of collaborative semantic concepts and their relationships. The proposed language enforces overall specification of what matters to the actors in collaborative processes when collaborating in business process to keep them aware of the collaboration context.

What Matters

Purpose Knowledge work productivity is a well-studied topic in the existing literature, but it has focussed mainly on two things. First, there are many theoretical models lacking empirical research, and second, there is a very specific research regarding how something impacts productivity. The purpose of this paper is to collect empirical data and test the conceptual model of knowledge work productivity in practice. The paper also provides information on how different drivers of knowledge work productivity have an impact on productivity. Design/methodology/approach Through the survey method, data were collected from 998 knowledge workers from Finland. Then, confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to confirm the knowledge work productivity dimensions of the conceptual model. Later, regression analysis was used to analyse the impacts of knowledge factors on productivity. Findings This paper increases the understanding of what matters for knowledge work productivity, with statistical analysis. The conceptual model of knowledge work productivity consists of two major elements: the knowledge worker and the work environment. The study results showed that the knowledge worker has the biggest impact on productivity through his or her well-being and work practices. The social environment was also found to be a significant driver. The results could not confirm or refute the role of the physical or virtual environment in knowledge work productivity. Practical implications The practical value of the study lies in the analysis results. The information generated about the factors impacting productivity can be used to improve knowledge work productivity. In addition, the limited resources available for organisational development will have the greatest return if they are used to increase intangible assets, i.e., management and work practices. Originality/value While it is well known that many factors are essential for knowledge work productivity, relatively few studies have examined it from as many dimensions at the same time as this study. This study adds value to the literature by providing information on which factors have the greatest influence on productivity.

Zusammenfassung. Die chronisch obstruktive Lungenerkrankung (COPD) ist vor allem unter Rauchern eine weit verbreitete Krankheit in der Schweiz. Der Verlauf ist oft progredient und die chronisch kranken und oft polymorbiden Patienten sind auf funktionierende Behandlungsnetzwerke angewiesen. Gesundheitspolitisch und auch medizinisch ist mehr Netzwerkdenken gefragt und notwendig und die Erarbeitung von eines chronic care models (CCM) äusserst sinnvoll. Die Basis dafür ist das evidenz-basierte Vorgehen. In diesem Artikel werden die Guidelines zur Diagnostik und Behandlung der COPD und deren Implementierung beleuchtet. Vorwegzunehmen ist, dass bereits ein breites Behandlungsangebot besteht und viele innovative Projekte lanciert wurden, um die Behandlungsqualität der COPD zu optimieren.

Care Model

Patienten mit Herzinsuffizienz (HI) sind in ihrer Lebensqualität stark eingeschränkt, haben eine schlechte Prognose und müssen häufig hospitalisiert werden. Die Forschung hat gezeigt, dass die Gesundheitsresultate dieser Patientengruppe durch ein gutes Selbstmanagement verbessert werden können. Eine Möglichkeit zur Verbesserung des Selbstmanagements sind ambulante Diseasemangementprogramme, welche die Lebensqualität verbessern und Kosten reduzieren helfen. Solchen Programmen liegt meist das von der WHO entwickelte Chronic Care Model zu Grunde, welches auf die Betreuung chronisch Kranker mit einem hohen Selbstmanagementbedarf ausgerichtet ist. Um ein gutes Selbstmanagement entwickeln zu können braucht es bedürfnissorientierte Patientenschulung und -beratung, denn die Betroffenen benötigen nicht nur Wissen zur Krankheit sondern müssen handlungsfähig werden. In der Schweiz fehlt es an etablierten Modellen und Programmen zur Betreuung von chronisch Kranken, insbesondere HI-Betroffenen. Aus diesem Grund hat eine schweizerische Expertengruppe für HI eine Modell zur „vernetzten Betreuung“ erstellt. In Anlehnung daran bietet die Schweizerische Herzstiftung seit 2009 ein Schulungsprogramm zur Unterstützung von Ärzten, Betroffenen und deren Angehörige an. Eine erste Evaluation hat unterschiedliche Resultate von Seiten der Ärzte gezeigt. Von den Betroffenen waren die Rückmeldungen äußerst positiv. Sie beurteilten die Schulungen als bedürfnissorientiert und unterstützend. (Geschlechtsbestimmende Begriffe stehen immer stellvertretend für beide Geschlechter)

Typology Of Care

This paper presents the EUROFAMCARE study findings, examining a typology of care situations for family carers of older people, and the interplay of carers with social and health services. Despite the complexity of family caregiving situations across Europe, our analyses determined the existence of seven “caregiving situations,” varying on a range of critical indicators. Our study also describes the availability and use of different support services for carers and care receivers, and carers’ preferences for the characteristics of support services. Our findings have relevance for policy initiatives in Europe, where limited resources need to be more equitably distributed and services should be targeted to caregiving situations reflecting the greatest need, and organized to reflect the preferences of family carers.
