Abstract

To respond to the many strategic changes in health care, CFOs need to analyze and integrate volumes of information that organizations generate. The microcomputer-based strategic financial planning system brings together all the information that is generated from other decision-support systems with the organization and provides the CFO with concise, timely, and accurate analyses of the changes that are affecting their institutions. This system has been proven to be an efficient and effective means to consolidate and analyze strategic data.

Identification and analysis of unsatisfactory psychosocial work situations: a participatory approach employing video-computer interaction.

A method for psychosocial evaluation of potentially stressful or unsatisfactory situations in manual work was developed. It focuses on subjective responses regarding specific situations and is based on interactive worker assessment when viewing video recordings of oneself. The worker is first video-recorded during work. The video is then displayed on the computer terminal, and the filmed worker clicks on virtual controls on the screen whenever an unsatisfactory psychosocial situation appears; a window of questions regarding psychological demands, mental strain and job control is then opened. A library with pictorial information and comments on the selected situations is formed in the computer. The evaluation system, called PSIDAR, was applied in two case studies, one of manual materials handling in an automotive workshop and one of a group of workers producing and testing instrument panels. The findings indicate that PSIDAR can provide data that are useful in a participatory ergonomic process of change.

Patents and the human genome project--new claims for old?

The development and application of genomics is set to revolutionize the life sciences. Commercial exploitation of this research will allow the development of novel therapies and diagnostic assays. However, some argue that a 'gold rush' is underway and conflicts have already arisen over the question of filing patents and sharing data. In this article we consider some of the issues that relate to patenting genomic inventions.
