Doornkamp, S.M. (author), Jabeen, F. (author), Treur, J. (author), Rob Taal, H. (author), Roelofsma, Peter (author)Previous reports show that a substantial proportion of (near) medical errors in the operating theatre is attributable to ineffective communication between healthcare professionals. Speaking up about observed medical errors is a safety behaviour which promotes effective communication between health care professionals, consequently optimising...journal article 2023

Contreras, Diana (author), Bhamidipati, S.K. (author), Wilkinson, Sean (author)In Chile, the Metropolitan Region of Santiago (RMS) is exposed to several natural and anthropogenic hazards. This means that not only is there a constant need for healthcare, but also a significant increase whenever its inhabitants are affected by disasters. The RMS problem is not the lack of healthcare infrastructure; rather, the inequality in...journal article 2023

Pannunzio, V. (author), Kleinsmann, M.S. (author), Snelders, H.M.J.J. (author), Raijmakers, J.H.M. (author)Digital health technologies, powered by digital data, provide an opportunity to improve the efficacy and efficiency of health systems at large. However, little is known about different approaches to the use of data for digital health design, or about their possible relations to system-level dynamics. In this contribution, we identify four...journal article 2023

Daniel, A.M. (author), van Exel, Job (author), Chorus, C.G. (author)Efficiently allocating scarce healthcare resources requires nuanced understanding of individual and collective interests as well as relative concerns, which may overlap or conflict. This paper is the first to empirically investigate whether and to what extent self-interest (SI), positional concerns (PC) and distributional considerations (DC)...journal article 2023

Weigl, Linn Marie (author), Jabeen, F. (author), Treur, J. (author), Taal, H. Rob (author), Roelofsma, P.H.M.P. (author)This paper describes an extension of a safety culture within hospital organizations providing more transparency and acknowledgement of all actors, and in particular the parents. It contributes a model architecture to support a hospital to develop such an extended safety culture. It is illustrated for prevention of postpartum depression....journal article 2023

Jung, Jiwon (author), Kim, K. (author), Peters, T. (author), Snelders, H.M.J.J. (author), Kleinsmann, M.S. (author)Designers are increasingly collaborating with data scientists to apply smart data technologies to understand large-scale user behavior during their design research. This is useful in specific impact domains with vulnerable users and unfamiliar contexts, such as healthcare design. Patient journey mapping is the most common design tool for...journal article 2023

Meulendijks, Paul (author), van Haren, Neeltje E.M. (author), Gielen, M.A. (author), van Veelen-Vincent, Marie Lise C. (author)Introduction: Paediatric patients with disorders that involve brain functioning are particularly vulnerable with respect to including them in shared decision-making. Current tools are mostly paper or digital patient information. We lay the groundwork for improving engagement with a concept that we coined ‘the Self-Portrait’. The main goals...journal article 2022

Ao, Yibin (author), Feng, Qiqi (author), Zhou, Zhongli (author), Chen, Yunfeng (author), Wang, T. (author)The rural three-tier healthcare system is an essential part of the Chinese healthcare service system. To ensure rural residents’ equal access to such healthcare services, it is necessary to examine the current status of the healthcare system in rural China and formulate corresponding improvement suggestions. This study therefore collects the...journal article 2022

Delacroix, Sylvie (author), Wagner, Ben (author)When the word 'ethical' becomes synonymous with specious, you know that something is amiss. With each data governance scandal, with each creation of a corporate 'ethics board', 'ethical standards' seemingly lose a few more feathers, to the point of generating instant suspicion when invoked in any official report. We argue that a key challenge...journal article 2021
