The shift to value-based care is one of the most significant financial, cultural and technological challenges ever faced by the U.S. healthcare system—and it will affect every stakeholder in the system. Healthcare providers can no longer focus solely on process-oriented measures and instead need metrics that gauge progress to deliver high-value care. This healthcare executive report provides three steps hospital executives can take now as they transition from volume to value and break down silos to create the infrastructure, processes and workflows required to succeed.

The ripple effect of healthcare reform is beginning to impact care delivery strategies as care management now falls increasingly to providers. According to a recent HealthLeaders Intelligence survey, hospital leaders are making progress with care management efforts, but more robust tools will be needed if hospitals want to scale up. The October 2014 survey polled 134 senior, clinical, operations, finance, marketing, and information leaders across the healthcare spectrum. The majority of respondents were from nonprofit organizations (63%), while the remainder (37%) came from for-profit settings.

The HealthLeaders Media Council is a group of 8,600+ senior healthcare executives from the nation’s leading healthcare provider organizations.

Intelligence Reports are the result of these insights. These reports can be used to benchmark an organization's performance and progress compared to peer organizations, as well as gather insights and advice from industry experts and leaders on a variety of critical topics.

Hospital communications used to be a lot simpler. If you needed to find a doctor, you could dial 0 and the operators would connect you or send a page on your behalf. People communicated through paper charts, wrote key phone numbers on grease boards, and kept on-call schedules in binders. Some of this still happens today, but communications across healthcare have become progressively more convoluted. The use of diverse mobile devices (smartphones, tablets, pagers, Wi-Fi phones, etc.), and the rise in care complexity necessitating care team coordination mean more sophisticated communication technology is required.

Even as the move to electronic health records (EHR) progresses in earnest, there are a myriad of challenges involving legacy data systems. Chief among these challenges is the cost of maintaining obsolete systems solely for the patient information they contain. When up to 70% of a typical IT budget is spent on maintaining the current IT infrastructure and application portfolio, organizations have little left to invest in much-needed innovation. According to a recent HealthLeaders Media Survey, many organizations are still adjusting after their migration to a new EHR system. Hospitals need to get a better grasp on all forms and sources of data that they have—and the data they don’t yet have—so that the right information can be delivered to the right individual, and in the right context, at the point of care.

To meet the challenges of intense competition and increasing customer demands, companies must tightly align their IT service management with business issues and priorities. This paper outlines the maturity steps involved in the progression towards proactive Business Service Management (BSM) and explains how ASG's metaCMDB helps secure its seamless adoption.

Pour les clients des grandes entreprises, IDC prévoit que le flash continuera de devancer la croissance du disque dur, et que la capacité des SSD expédiée augmentera de plus de 75 % d'une année sur l'autre2 . Cette progression s'explique notamment par les prix qui baissent plus rapidement que prévu. Les recherches actuelles indiquent qu'en termes de coût total de possession (CTP) sur quatre ans, le flash deviendra le support au coût le plus faible pour presque tout le stockage à compter de 20163 . Le CTP du flash continuera de décliner jusqu'en 2020, offrant un retour sur investissement que les solutions à disques rotatifs ne pourront pas égaler.

Unlike surveys that just look at what respondents say at a specific point in time, the BPTrends survey has been asking questions of process practitioners for over a decade. Thus, we are in a good position to generalize about ongoing trends in process work. Broadly speaking, the interest in business process change has evolved slowly. For some organizations the progress has been dramatic, but for most, their process initiatives are best described by the phrase “two steps forward; one step back.” An amazing number of organizations have focused on process work for several years, made significant progress, then, seemingly forgotten all about their process work, regressed, and then, a few years later, started up again.

Jusqu’à présent, les améliorations du datacenter se sont limitées à la réduction des coûts et à des solutions ponctuelles. La consolidation des serveurs, le Cloud computing, la virtualisation et l’implémentation de stockage Flash ont contribué à réduire la prolifération des serveurs, ainsi que les coûts de personnel et d’installations associés. Regroupant ressources de calcul, de stockage et de réseau au sein d’une même solution, les systèmes convergés se révèlent particulièrement efficaces dans la baisse des dépenses de personnel et de fonctionnement. Ces systèmes définis par logiciel (software-defined) exigent peu d’interventions humaines. Le code intégré dans le logiciel configure le matériel et automatise de nombreux processus autrefois manuels, ce qui réduit considérablement le risque d’erreurs humaines. Ensemble, ces technologies ont permis aux entreprises d’améliorer progressivement les processus et stratégies d’engagement client et de prestation de services.

La stampa 3D è emersa come tecnologia di prototipazione negli anni '80 e da allora si è rapidamente evoluta. I continui sviluppi degli ultimi decenni hanno trasformato la stampa 3D, chiamata anche produzione additiva, in una tecnologia efficace ed economicamente conveniente all'interno dell'ambiente manifatturiero: la stampa 3D dà accesso alla prototipazione, all'abilitazione della produzione e alla produzione 3D diretta. Le aziende che utilizzano la stampa 3D possono ottenere e consolidare una posizione di vertice nel settore grazie ai progressi in termini di tempo, costi e capacità resi possibili dalla stampa 3D. In questo ebook viene fornita una panoramica della tecnologia di stampa 3D in plastica e dei progressi compiuti nell'ambito dei materiali da 3D Systems. Si estende così la gamma delle applicazioni di produzione.

They are running digital projects and making progress, but not generating the headway required to achieve the larger goal of digital transformation

We are in the midst of a global productivity crisis. The IMF estimates that if productivity growth had followed its pre-2008 financial crisis trend, overall GDP in advanced economies would be about 5% higher today. However, to blame everything on the financial crisis is misleading. The overall trend in productivity growth is stagnant and has been on a downward trend for the last several years. This is costing the U.S. a staggering $450–$550 billion a year. In the U.K., concern is such that there have been calls for the government to set new targets and create an independent watchdog to monitor progress to improve national productivity. There is also a workforce engagement crisis. Most people are simply not engaged at work, with industry research showing that typically 66% of people are either partly or not engaged at all at work. This means that only 1 in 3 people at work are fully motivated and productive. Yet most companies are oblivious to this fact. Some run annual emplo
