“…Simply changing a policy might be metaphorically linked to the strength of mosquito netting; by comparison, redesign of equipment to “force” safe behaviour is represented by a steel barrier, indicating that it would be much more likely to prevent future harm 13. Changes in architecture and work area design deficiencies are increasingly recognised as lasting solutions,14 15 as studies show that familiarity and training cannot easily overcome device design deficiencies 16. Automation and redundancy may reduce adverse events, but fall into an intermediate category due to limitations in understanding how they interact with complex processes 17.…”

Policymakers are searching for ways to control health care costs and improve quality. Diagnosis-related groups (DRGs) are by far the most important cost control and quality improvement tool that governments and private payers have implemented. This article reviews why DRGs have had this singular success both in the hospital sector and, over the past 10 years, in ambulatory and managed care settings. Last, the author reviews current trends in the development and implementation of tools that have the key ingredients of DRG success: categorical clinical model, separation of the clinical model from payment weights, separate payment adjustments for nonclinical factors, and outlier payments. Virtually all current tools used to manage health care costs and improve quality do not have these characteristics. This failure explains a key reason for the failure, for example, of the Medicare Advantage program to control health care costs. This article concludes with a discussion of future developments for DRG-type models outside the hospital sector.

“…LA, as a considerably useful ergonomic method, has been used increasingly in the healthcare domain to study and improve the layout of workspaces, e.g. intensive care units (Hignett & Lu, 2007), emergency departments (Jones, Hignett & Benger, 2008), ambulances (Ferriera & Hignett, 2004), etc. However, healthcare is complex and dynamic, full of uncertainty and variance.…”

Motivation-Link Analysis (LA) is a method to study relationships of elements within a system, and it is also used as a data recording method of Naturalistic Decision Making (NDM), e.g. capturing staff movements. However LA has limitations, such as time-consuming data recording and results generating processes. Research approach-Computerised Link Analysis (CLA) system is being developed and tested by computerising template generating, real-time event recording and data analysing processes. Design-The first version of system has been accomplished and its description is included to demonstrate its versatility. Research limitations-This system is still at an early prototype stage and improvements and tests need to be conducted. Value-CLA is the first system which is designed specially for healthcare domain and has proven to save plenty of time compared to manual method. Take away message-CLA system is able to offer analysts an efficient and effective tool to perform LA.
