The triage-function of a psychosomatic liaison-service for gynecological patients

The psychosomatic psychotherapeutic consultation liaison (CL)-service for gynecological patients at the Vienna University has been evaluated. Research interest focused on success and failure of the initial interview, conceptualized for a specific clientele. The interview has a triage function for treatment planning. By the type of treatment that was applied, patients were divided into three groups: Group A, patients with one single contact with the unit; Group B, patients who were referred to external psychotherapy; Group C, patients who were treated with short-term psychoanalytic psychotherapy as offered by the service unit. The drop-outs figured as Group D. The questionnaires completed by the patients at the first consultation and 6 months after their final contact with the clinic covered socio-demographic data, ego functions; the motivation for psychotherapy, a complaints list and finally, at the second contact only, an individual retrospective judgement concerning personal consequences of the consultation. Patients needs in CL-seruices call for quick decisions, which therapeutic measure would be most adequate. An experienced clinician's decision is based on several circumstances: individual feeling of suffering therapy-motivation and ego-strength, as well as social and demographic facts. Comparing groups with different therapeutic recommendations showed that the psychometric tests discriminated well between these four groups and thus the validity of the clinical recommendation has been confirmed.     

转化医学实验平台建设与共享机制探讨

转化医学实验平台是突破基础研究与临床平台建设壁垒、将实际问题得以科学解决或转化为技术的依托。根据上海及国内其他地区转化医学建设发展的实际情况,针对目前大部分医院转化医学实验平台建设尚无统一模式、多学科交叉力度不大、资源分配不均等现状,探讨从战略定位、硬件建设、软件建设、人才队伍4个维度进行转化医学平台建设布局。基于提高科研设备使用效益、提高实验效率、保障安全性等共享目的,以需求为导向优化科研共享平台服务策略,从资源共享、服务共享、数据共享、特殊危险试剂共享等方面突出共享机制。实现院内医学转化多课题、多学科,甚至是跨院区、院内外、国际性合作平台的扩展。为优化资源配置、加强协同创新、样本库信息共享、托举人才培养、提高设备使用率、提升科研实际转化奠定基础。有利于基础科学研究转化成临床疗效的平台构建设置,有利于临床疗效转化成临床效果的平台实力展现,有利于临床效果转化成医疗保健措施的平台成果绽放。     

The impact of managers' perceptions of learning organizations on innovation in healthcare: sample of Turkey

Organizational learning is the process of increasing effective organizational activities through knowledge and understanding. Innovation is the creation of any product, service or process, which is new to a business unit. Significant amount of research on organizational learning place a central meaning on the fact that there is a positive relationship between organizational learning and innovation. Both organizational learning and innovation are essential for organizations to prepare for change. The aim of this study is to determine to what extent the identified learning organization dimensions are associated with innovation. The study used a quantitative non‐experimental design employing statistical analysis via multiple regression and correlation methods to identify the relationships between the variables examined. Because the research was conducted in a non‐experimental way, learning organization dimensions are referred to as predictor variables, and innovation is referred to as the criterion variable. Watkins and Marsick's Dimensions of the Learning Organization Questionnaire was used in the study. Questionnaires were distributed to 498 hospital managers and, 243 valid responses were used in this study. Therefore, 243 hospital managers working at 250 Ministry of Health (public) hospitals across Turkey participated in the study. Results demonstrate that there are significant and positive correlations between learning organization dimensions and innovation. Intercorrelations between learning organization dimensions and correlations between learning organization dimensions and innovation were average and high, respectively. Results further indicate that the dimensions of the learning organizations explained 66.5% of the variance for the innovation. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
