"With the advent of electronic medical records years ago and the increasing capabilities of computers, our healthcare systems are sitting on growing mountains of data. Not only does the data grow from patient volume but the type of data we store is also growing exponentially. Practical Predictive Analytics and Decisioning Systems for Medicine provides research tools to analyze these large amounts of data and addresses some of the most pressing issues and challenges where data integrity is compromised: patient safety, patient communication, and patient information. Through the use of predictive analytic models and applications, this book is an invaluable resource to predict more accurate outcomes to help improve quality care in the healthcare and medical industries in the most cost efficient manner.Practical Predictive Analytics and Decisioning Systems for Medicine provides the basics of predictive analytics for those new to the area and focuses on general philosophy and activities in the healthcare and medical system. It explains why predictive models are important, and how they can be applied to the predictive analysis process in order to solve real industry problems. Researchers need this valuable resource to improve data analysis skills and make more accurate and cost-effective decisions."

"Reusing single-use medical devices is a very important and complicated process since the implementation requires both operational and technical skills, even for professional users. The aim of our study was to determine the cost effectiveness and efficiency of reusing single-use medical devices. The study was a cross-sectional study conducted between July and December 2013. It compared two groups of patients who underwent endoscopic retrograde chalangiopancreatography (ERCP) examination at the digestive endoscopy center, Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta. Patients in the first group received new single-use medical devices; while patients in the other group received the re-used single-use medical devices. Reprocessing for reusing single-used medical devices was conducted according to standard procedures of decontamination and sterilization. Reusing medical devices were more commonly found (50.9%) in ERCP procedures than using new medical devices (49.1%). There was no significant difference on operator satisfaction between using the re-used and new medical devices (p=0.062). There was lower average cost for reusing medical devices IDR 198,818,250.00 VS idr 594,354,000.00; P=0.000); percentage of success rate for reusing was lower than new medical devices (80% vs 90,6%;p=o0.203). There was also no significant difference regarding the negative impact such as fever or infection of reusing medical devices compared to using new medical devices (p=0.676). This study has shown good effectiveness in terms of operator satisfaction, success rate and impact on patients. The cost for reusing medical devices is more efficient than using new medical devices."

"This textbook presents a practical approach to predictive analytics for classroom learning. It focuses on using analytics to solve business problems and compares several different modeling techniques, all explained from examples using the SAS Enterprise Miner software. The authors demystify complex algorithms to show how they can be utilized and explained within the context of enhancing business opportunities. Each chapter includes an opening vignette that provides real-life example of how business analytics have been used in various aspects of organizations to solve issue or improve their results. A running case provides an example of a how to build and analyze a complex analytics model and utilize it to predict future outcomes."

"Practical Healthcare Epidemiology takes a hands-on approach to infection prevention for physicians, healthcare epidemiologists, infection preventionists, microbiologists, nurses, and other healthcare professionals. Increased regulatory requirements and patient knowledge and involvement has elevated patient safety, healthcare-associated infections, antibiotic stewardship and quality-of-care to healthcare wide issues. This fully updated new edition brings together the expertise of leaders in healthcare epidemiology to provide best practice expert guidance on infection prevention for adult and pediatric patients in all types of healthcare facilities, from community hospitals and academic institutions, to long-term care and resource limited settings. Written in clear, straightforward terms to address prevention planning and immediate responses to specific situations, this is the go-to resource for any practitioners in medicine or public health involved in infection prevention, regardless of their current expertise in the field."

"Abstract:This book covers the knowledge necessary to understand healthcare information technology (HIT) and HIT management. It explores areas for basic awareness or competency, including hardware, software, and communication systems; operational, management, and clinical applications; and selection, implementation, and valuation. This revised edition includes coverage of: forces that will drive future change and potentially have profound impacts on HIT; the role that government policy and healthcare reform play in influencing HIT; HIT governance and strategic planning in healthcare organizations; an overview of an information system and possible configurations that will support clinical service delivery and the associated business processes; key operational and tactical processes that are critical to maximizing HIT efficiencies and effectiveness; EHR applications and financial applications; and the major techniques used to evaluate an HIT investment."
