    Labs and Drugs

    • 04:18 PM, Nov 26

    The delivery of high-quality healthcare and the effective treatment of acute and chronic illnesses cannot be achieved without drugs with high efficacy and safety and with laboratories working in the background to undertake basic research and understand the processes behind diseases, mechanism of action of different molecules and presentation of symptoms in patients. Numerous drugs undergo...

    Patient Transformers

    • 11:19 AM, Nov 12

    Online knowledge, self-help groups and special interest forums have transitioned physicians from almighty omniscient ‘demigods in white’ to professionals heftily challenged by patients and their Dr Google.  As a result, physician self-reflection and patient participation have become the pillars of modern medical ethics and treatment programmes. Today’s empowered patient has the ability to manage...

The healthcare systems and economies of more than 200 countries have been severely affected, also impacting healthcare workers both physically and psychologically. Since they are at the frontline ta

    Cash Cow

    • 01:17 PM, Nov 13

    Is the healthcare bottom line en route to hitting rock bottom? Is the system bankrupt? Does the system still waste too much cash? Where is the real bottom line? Rising overheads, high staffing, supply and technology costs challenge current operating models. Are they outdated or are they becoming unsustainable? What could save the day? Adaptivity? Imagination? Innovation? Proactivity? Flexibility?...

    Staff matters

    • 02:42 AM, Sep 22

    People are the backbone of healthcare systems. With staff costs up to three-quarters of the total budget one wonders why healthcare leaders are not looking for different, unorthodox, innovative approaches. When did we notice the last time anything groundbreaking in human resources?  Perhaps the potential of robotisation in healthcare to automate repetitive tasks may come to your mind? Point...

    Emerging markets

    • 04:40 PM, May 23

    The financial crisis was a blessing for our health systems. It forced European policymakers and politicians to take more decisive action on key issues. It became clear that healthcare is not only about money (I strongly believe that there is still a potential of up to 30% in gains/savings) but about sincere structural problems in our foundations, and our unwillingness to free healthcare from political...

    No More Ransom

    • 10:06 AM, Aug 25

    There are two simple yet effective preventive measures ‏that a public or private enterprise must put into place ‏to stop cybercriminals in their tracks says Europol; ‏practice pristine digital hygiene and keep anti-virus protection ‏up-to-date.   While these steps should be taken as the bare minimum ‏to protect an organisation, if the dramatic increase in cybercrimes ‏is anything to go by,...

    What Can Healthcare Learn from the Financial Crisis?

    • 01:00 AM, Dec 12

    Dear Reader, Today, the financial crisis has once again hit us very hard. Greed still plays havoc with the international stock markets. As banks have grown too big to fail, in 2008 our politicians decided to bail them out with our tax money. Many of us lost savings due to the irresponsible actions of the banking sector without any consequences for the offenders. The following two years the bankers...

    The World of the IRevolution

    Dear Reader,   This years' HIMSS 2012 Las Vegas conference has once again highlighted the key importance of IT in successful healthcare deployment. Despite the fact that European IT solutions level up and even out-perform American counterparts, the US seems miles ahead in terms of information exchange amongst IT professionals and openness towards innovation. Therefore it is more than ever one of...

    Paediatrics

    • 12:00 AM, Jun 25

    Our cover story is dedicated to the rapidly moving field of paediatrics. This specialty is receiving increased attention as the focus shifts from a ‘one size fits all’ procedure to a more tailor-made approach. Medical diagnostic equipment is being adapted to better accommodate children’s smaller body size and optimise exam results, and imaging radiation dosing is reduced to ensure minimal exposure...

    My Fundamental Right to Cross-Border Healthcare

    • 02:09 PM, Aug 27

    Dear Reader, Properly working cross-border healthcare is a fundamental right of every European citizen. This goes hand in hand with the free movement of persons. The European Union has its main focus on IT collaboration with the USA. But HITM feels that this is too narrow. Therefore we have taken the decision to closely collaborate with the Middle East, Africa and Asia. To administer this goal...

    The Almighty Power of IT

    • 12:00 AM, Sep 19

    The revelations of Edward Snowden made it once again clear: “Big Brother” is watching us everywhere. It is not up to me to comment on the ethical impact of the U.S. National Security Agency, in particular as I was wondering why no western government was complaining against this infringement of our privacy. But it brings the incredible impact of IT into the spotlight.   “IT Really is...
