As always seems to occur at these meetings, the discussion was lively, the sessions were filled, and people complained about not being able to hear all the papers they wanted to because of concurrent sessions. If ever someone is in charge of a meeting, I wish them the good luck to have it be one for the Society for Risk Analysis. While I was responsible for the meeting, it could not have taken place without the efforts of the general chairman, Alan Moshissi. The program committee was chaired by Janice Longstreth, and included Lee Abramson and Vincent Covello.

Die Autoren beschreiben, wie Krankenhäuser ein besonderes Augenmerk auf stetige Innovationsprozesse legen müssen, um im zunehmenden Wettbewerb bestehen zu können. Viele Krankenhäuser generieren gezielt Wissen, um entsprechende Prozess- oder Produktinnovationen anzustoßen. Kamen früher fast nur 'geschlossene' Ideenentwicklungen zum Einsatz, so vollziehen sich in der Gesundheitsbranche nun auch 'offene' Innovationsprozesse, die versuchen, vorhandenes Wissen abseits der eigentlichen Krankenhausgrenzen zu erschließen und neue Erkenntnisse zu gewinnen. Ein solches Wissen wird insbesondere bei externen Anspruchsgruppen, die die Leistungen des Krankenhauses gut kennen, vermutet. Product details Format Paperback | 28 pages ...
