We Built This House; It’s Time to Move in: Leveraging Existing DICOM Structure to More Completely Utilize Readily Available Detailed Contrast Administration Information

The Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) standard is the universal format for interoperability in medical imaging. In addition to imaging data, DICOM has evolved to support a wide range of imaging metadata including contrast administration data that is readily available from many modern contrast injectors. Contrast agent, route of administration, start and stop time, volume, flow rate, and duration can be recorded using DICOM attributes [1]. While this information is sparsely and inconsistently recorded in routine clinical practice, it could potentially be of significant diagnostic value. This work will describe parameters recorded by automatic contrast injectors, summarize the DICOM mechanisms available for tracking contrast injection data, and discuss the role of such data in clinical radiology.

Old boys’ network in general practitioners’ referral behavior?

We analyzed the impact of social networks on general practitioners’ (GPs) referral behavior based on administrative panel data from 2,684,273 referrals to specialists made between 1998 and 2007. For the definition of social networks, we used information on the doctors’ place and time of study and their hospital work history. We found that GPs referred more patients to specialists within their personal networks and that patients referred within a social network had fewer follow-up consultations and less inpatient days thereafter. The effects on patient outcomes (e.g. waiting periods, days in hospital) of referrals within personal networks and affinity-based networks differed. Specifically, whereas empirical evidence showed a concentration on high-quality specialists for referrals within the personal network, suggesting that referrals within personal networks overcome information asymmetry with respect to specialists’ abilities, the empirical evidence for affinity-based networks was different and less clear. Same-gender networks tended to refer patients to low-quality specialists.

建立“全院共享、流程自动”的人力资源信息系统

信息化是医院人力资源管理发展的一种趋势。本文以某县级医院人力资源管理信息化实践为基础,提出借助商品化软件、内外网结合、全院共享的信息化思路,通过细致筛选软件产品、医院主导软件实施、运行中持续改进等具体做法,实现实施技术向医院的成功转移,捋顺薪酬管理流程,建立全院共享的人力资源信息系统。人事信息系统的建立提高人事信息的利用效率,为医院的管理决策提供有效支撑。本文总结建设思路和做法,为其他县级医院人力资源信息化建设提供借鉴。     

医院总会计师制度是解决“医闹问题”的有益探索：基于委托代理理论的制度分析

目的：当前被推上风口浪尖的医闹问题凸显了由于信息不对称、权力制衡不足而导致的医院内部治理存在较严重问题。从委托代理理论这一源头剖析以上社会矛盾以及医院总会计师制度的有用性。方法用理论分析方法对当前总会计师制度的现状与未来发展前景进行探讨。结果当前医院委托代理问题是导致医闹矛盾的重要原因之一。结论医院践行并完善总会计师制度将是解决医患矛盾的一个科学而有益的探索。     

基于开源内容管理系统Drupal的医院护理学学科平台建设
