“…Some experts in the field pinpoint particular fronts that distinguish CoE from traditional healthcare delivery models -organization design, servicescape design, personnel, medical care, marketing, and finance (9,11). Moreover, many research and higher education institutions (12)(13)(14)(15)(16) and healthcare institutions (17)(18)(19)(20) across different countries have pursued a CoE status with claims that such institutions have bold distinctions in capacity, resources, and outcomes even among themselves.…”

ObjectiveGlobally, interest in excellence has grown exponentially, with public and private institutions shifting their attention from meet targets to achieving excellence. Centers of Excellence (CoEs) are standing at the forefront of healthcare, research, and innovations responding to the world’s most complex problems. However, their potential is hindered by conceptual ambiguity. We conducted a global synthesis of the evidence to conceptualize CoEs.DesignScoping review, following Arksey and O’Malley’s framework and methodological enhancement by Levac et al to analyze the evidence and the PRISMA-ScR to guide the retrieval and inclusion of the evidence.Data sourcesPubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, Google Scholar, and the Google engine from their inception to 01 January 2021.EligibilityPapers that describe CoE as the main theme, which could be defining, theorizing, implementing, or evaluating a CoE.ResultsThe search resulted in 52,161 potential publications, with 78 articles met the eligibility criteria. The 78 articles were from 33 countries, of which 35 were from the United States of America, 3 each from Nigeria, South Africa, Spain, and India, and 2 each from Ethiopia, Canada, Russia, Colombia, Sweden, Greece, and Peru. The rest 17 were from various countries. The articles involved six thematic areas - healthcare, education, research, industry, information technology, and general concepts on CoE. The analysis documented success stories of using the brand “Center of Excellence” - an influential brand to stimulate technical skills, innovation, and technology. We identified 12 essential foundations of CoE - specialized expertise; infrastructure; innovation; high-impact research; quality service; accreditation or standards; leadership; organizational structure; strategy; collaboration and partnership; sustainable funding or financial mechanisms; and entrepreneurship.ConclusionsCoEs have significant scientific, political, economic, and social impacts. A comprehensive framework is needed to guide and inspire an institution as a CoE and to help government and funding institutions shape and oversee CoEs.Strengths and limitations of this study-To the best of our knowledge, this is the first scoping review to conceptualize centers of excellence based on global evidence.-The study followed Arksey and O’Malley’s framework and methodological enhancement by Levac et al to and the PRISMA-ScR methodological frameworks.-Five databases were systematically searched to identify scientific and gray literature-The study was limited by language restrictions.

“…Coraz więcej ośrodków medycznych na świecie inwestuje w najnowsze technologie, dając możliwość konsultacji i wykonywania badań drogą elektroniczną. Telemedycyna oparta na systemach telemetrycznych i teleinformatycznych staje się podstawowym środkiem opieki zdrowotnej na takich kontynentach jak Europa, Australia, Afryka czy Ameryka Północna [5][6][7][8][9].…”

Systemy telemetryczne i teleinformatyczne mają szerokie zastosowanie, szczególnie w medycynie. Ośrodki medyczne na całym świecie coraz częściej inwestują w najnowsze technologie, dając możliwość konsultacji i wykonywania badań drogą elektroniczną. Telemedycyna, która opiera się na systemach telemetrycznych i teleinformatycznych, pozwala oszczędzić czas oraz zapewnia nową jakość konsultacji i możliwość szybszego wykrycia schorzeń u pacjentów.Celem pracy był przegląd literatury w celu analizy częstości i celu stosowania poszczególnych metod i technik pod kątem wykorzystania w systemach telemetrycznych i teleinformatycznych. Dokonano przeglądu literatury, zaczynając od znalezienia synonimów oraz definicji telemedycyny.W literaturze opisano korzyści oraz skuteczność metod i technik systemów telemetrycznych i teleinformatycznych, a także jakie systemy telemetryczne i teleinformatyczne są najczęściej stosowane.Stosowanie systemów telemetrycznych i teleinformatycznych w audiologii pozwala na skrócenie czasu dojazdu pacjentów do ośrodka, obniżenie kosztów ponoszonych przez pacjentów, dzięki czemu poprawia się jakość ich życia. Miernikiem przydatności klinicznej metod i technik stosowanych w teleaudiologii jest częstość ich stosowania.

Centres of Excellence (CoEs) are standing at the forefront of healthcare, research and innovations responding to the world’s most complex problems. However, their potential is hindered by conceptual ambiguity. We conducted a global synthesis of the evidence to conceptualise CoEs.DesignScoping review, following Arksey and O’Malley’s framework and methodological enhancement by Levac et al and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews.Data sourcesPubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, Google Scholar and the Google engine until 1 January 2021.EligibilityArticles that describe CoE as the main theme.ResultsThe search resulted in 52 161 potential publications, with 78 articles met the eligibility criteria. The 78 articles were from 33 countries, of which 35 were from the USA, 3 each from Nigeria, South Africa, Spain and India, and 2 each from Ethiopia, Canada, Russia, Colombia, Sweden, Greece and Peru. The rest 17 were from various countries. The articles involved six thematic areas—healthcare, education, research, industry, information technology and general concepts on CoE. The analysis documented success stories of using the brand ‘CoE’—an inﬂuential brand to stimulate best practices. We identified 12 essential foundations of CoE—specialised expertise; infrastructure; innovation; high-impact research; quality service; accreditation or standards; leadership; organisational structure; strategy; collaboration and partnership; sustainable funding or financial mechanisms; and entrepreneurship.ConclusionsCoEs have significant scientific, political, economic and social impacts. However, there are inconsistent use and self-designation of the brand without approval by an independent, external process of evaluation and with high ambiguity between ‘CoEs’ and the ordinary ‘institutions’ or ‘centres’. A comprehensive framework is needed to guide and inspire an institution as a CoE and to help government and funding institutions shape and oversee CoEs.
