“…CT provides tools, including groupware and document management, for KM endeavors [64]. The fragmentation and complexity of the healthcare environment is in dire need of tools that increase the efficiency and effectiveness of information, and under many circumstances, tools that ease the transition between tacit and explicit knowledge [65–67].…”

Objective-The development of readiness metrics for organizational participation in health information exchange is critical for monitoring progress toward, and achievement of, successful inter-organizational collaboration. In preparation for the development of a tool to measure readiness for data-sharing, we tested whether organizational capacities known to be related to readiness were associated with successful participation in an American data-sharing collaborative for quality improvement.Design-Cross-sectional design, using an on-line survey of hospitals in a large, mature datasharing collaborative organized for benchmarking and improvement in nursing care quality.Measurements-Factor analysis was used to identify salient constructs, and identified factors were analyzed with respect to "successful" participation. "Success" was defined as the incorporation of comparative performance data into the hospital dashboard.Results-The most important factor in predicting success included survey items measuring the strength of organizational leadership in fostering a culture of quality improvement (QI Leadership): 1) presence of a supportive hospital executive; 2) the extent to which a hospital values data; 3) the presence of leaders' vision for how the collaborative advances the hospital's strategic goals; 4) hospital use of the collaborative data to track quality outcomes; and 5) staff recognition of a strong mandate for collaborative participation (α = 0.84, correlation with Success 0.68 [P < 0.0001]). Conclusion-The data emphasize the importance of hospital QI Leadership in collaboratives that aim to share data for QI or safety purposes. Such metrics should prove useful in the planning and development of this complex form of inter-organizational collaboration.

“…The term healthcare team is defined as a group of health professionals working for a common purpose and making complementary contributions to patient care [5]. Teamwork, on the hand, describes the work and activities conducted jointly by worker and the management in order to continuously develop business processes and management, and to identify the activities and goals of the organization.…”

The Effect of Socio-Cultural Characteristics on the Effectiveness of Teamwork: A Study in the Gülhane Military Medical Faculty Training Hospital

2014

The study was conducted in 34 departments/divisions within the GMMF Training Hospital with 423 health workers. "Specialist opinion" was used to determine the content validity of the "Teamwork Effectiveness Scale" developed for this study, while "factor analysis" was used to test the scale's construct validity. Cronbach Alpha values were calculated to test the reliability of the scale. To determine the effect of socio-cultural characteristics on the effectiveness of teamwork, the "Kruskal-Wallis" test, the "Mann-Whitney U" test and "Logistic Regression Analysis" were used within the context of the study. Based on the study results, it was observed that "assignment, "age" and "status" did not have an effect on the effectiveness of teamwork (p > 0.05). On the other hand, a significant and negative relationship was observed between "the obligation to perform compulsory service" and the attitudes that considered teamwork to be effective (p = 0.029). Similarly, a difference was identified between the workers' attitudes towards the effectiveness of teamwork depending on the size of the place of assignment (p = 0,042). It was thus observed that the "effectiveness of teamwork" was affected by the presence or absence of the "obligation to perform compulsory service" and by the "size of the place of assignment.

“…Another reason for the fast intra-hospital transmission was due to the fact that Taiwanese patients like to do doctor shopping to find the best and least-expensive medical care, which is explained in the study of Cheng [7] for promoting electronic medical records which traced where they visited. As information technology (IT) changes the way that people work, communicate, and learn, its impact on global health care and education is phenomenal [8][9][10][11][12]. To prevent the spreading of the disease, most SARS related training courses were then done electronically.…”

Continuing professional education is essential for nurses to update their clinical skills and knowledge to meet the complex demands of current patient care. Compared to traditional in-class continuing education, a web-based learning system is efficient for nurses with a three shift-working schedule and is timely to deliver knowledge about newly emerging epidemics such as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome. Many studies reveal the advantages of various web-based learning systems but seldom evaluate them from the perspective of quality. This study develops an instrument to assess the quality of a web-based learning system for nurses' continuing education based on the quality dimensions of a mature information systems success model. The research results show that all indicators of the instrument provide a fit to the quality measurement of a web-based learning system and have high reliability and validity. Based on the research findings, implications and limitations are discussed.
