Purpose – The European Union recommendations for patient safety calls for shared clinical risk management (CRM) safety standards able to guide organizations in CRM implementation. The purpose of this paper is to develop a self-evaluation tool to measure healthcare organization performance on CRM and guide improvements over time. Design/methodology/approach – A multi-step approach was implemented including: a systematic literature review; consensus meetings with an expert panel from eight Italian leader organizations to get to an agreement on the first version; field testing to test instrument feasibility and flexibility; Delphi strategy with a second expert panel for content validation and balanced scoring system development. Findings – The self-assessment tool – Clinical Assessment of Risk Management: an INtegrated Approach includes seven areas (governance, communication, knowledge and skills, safe environment, care processes, adverse event management, learning from experience) and 52 standards. Each standard is evaluated according to four performance levels: minimum; monitoring; outcomes; and improvement actions, which resulted in a feasible, flexible and valid instrument to be used throughout different organizations. Practical implications – This tool allows practitioners to assess their CRM activities compared to minimum levels, monitor performance, benchmarking with other institutions and spreading results to different stakeholders. Originality/value – The multi-step approach allowed us to identify core minimum CRM levels in a field where no consensus has been reached. Most standards may be easily adopted in other countries.

Subject area The case concerns strategy. Study level/applicability This study is applicable to information system, development sector and application of technology in development sector. Case overview Krutika Terracotta Unit is a small unit located in Bhubaneswar, Odisha (India), owned by Mr Tarun Tapan Sahoo. The organization product portfolio varies from decorative statues, pots and vessel to customized products demanded by customers. Organization is also involved in training and renting the products for traditional fairs, marriages and religious ceremony in Bhubaneswar along with order sales. The case attempts to get a close picture of the industry. The exercise of developing the vision, mission, and goals for the organization was carried out and an attempt was made to align the information system with the business objectives even though the organization does not have a very structured organogram. Using BIS will surely reduce manual work and will give qualitative output. There will be lesser hassles in management. The defined and integrated approach will also help in taking strategic decisions well. The objective is to develop and apply well-structured BIS which can be integrated with the existing system so as to develop the terracotta organization in terms of reachability and profit-making with better decision-making capacity. Expected learning outcomes To learn about the business model of a handicraft marketing organization; to learn about the processes involved in traditional art form of Terracotta; to go through the exercise of creating vision, mission, goals of the organization through mutual discussion and expectation of owner; to determine how BIS helps in achieving higher productivity in Krutika Terracotta Unit; and to get an idea about how NPV calculation and social ROI should be measured for finding feasibility of technology investment.

In the present, the technology related to the micro/meso manufacturing is promising as a key enabling technology for maximizing high value manufacturing. This paper addresses a new methodology to design reconfigurable micro/mesoscale CNC machine tools in the integrated product, process, and manufacturing system development context. This is followed by a description of the design of a reconfigurable two-axis first-generation test bed CNC micromachine tool that was developed to assess the feasibility of the new design method. The test bed utilizes a high-speed miniature spindle that is required to obtain appropriate cutting velocities for the efficient cutting of metals, use micro-actuators for the axis movements and open-architecture controllers, in order to guarantee the reconfigurability properties of the micromachine. Results indicate the new methodology enhances the design of reconfigurable micro/mesoscale CNC machine tools in the integrated product, process, and manufacturing system development context, following the prescriptive models of design.

The social, environmental and economic subsystems are investigated in the framework of systems theory. Using a systems-integrated approach as an analysis tool, it is determined that the study of the links between elements, structures and subsystems provides the very foundation on which the ideology of sustainable development is based. The purpose of this article is to use systems theory to ground the ideology of sustainable development in the context of the socio-ecological-economic system. The main reason for the need to form a socio-ecological-economic system is the contradiction between the interests of society in the conservation and protection of the environment and the interests of economic entities aimed at maximizing profits in any way. This contradiction is due to the presence of external factors that arise in the process of system development and the formation of sustainable development of the country. In the proposed system, the unity of the three components, nature, population and economy, is the most important dominant, so the socio-ecological-economic system is understood as a set of interrelated elements of demographic, social, natural, industrial and institutional character, without which the existence of a common system is impossible. It is advisable to single out the socio-ecological-economic systems that are synonymous with the concept of region or regional system and contain three subsystems: social, environmental and economic. These subsystems are comprised of the following components: population and population, natural resources and production components, infrastructure and the like. The proportions of the economy should be shaped by the need to comply with environmental constraints. This will achieve coherence between the economic and environmental components of sustainable development. Mutual reconciliation of the development of economic and social components is ensured if economic growth is shifted from an end in itself to the goal of meeting social needs. In other words, economic growth must be accompanied by adequate social transformations and contribute to solving the problem of improving the quality of the environment. Otherwise, the growth of the economy will be devoid of any meaning in terms of the needs of the human community.
