Описание: More than 20 per cent of all children in the United States live in poverty. This book considers the impact of poverty on education, the needs of students from high poverty backgrounds, and strategies that hold promise in successfully educating students from high poverty backgrounds.
Описание: Using a novel approach to consider the available literature and research, this book focuses on the psychology of social media based on the assumption that the experience of being in a social media has an impact on both our identity and social relationships. In order to ‘be online’, an individual has to create an online presence – they have to share information about themselves online. This online self is presented in different ways, with diverse goals and aims in order to engage in different social media activities and to achieve desired outcomes. Whilst this may not be a real physical presence, that physicality is becoming increasingly replicated through photos, video, and ever-evolving ways of defining and describing the self online. Moreover, individuals are using both PC-based and mobile-based social media as well as increasingly making use of photo and video editing tools to carefully craft and manipulate their online self. This book therefore explores current debates in Cyberpsychology, drawing on the most up-to-date theories and research to explore four main aspects of the social media experience (communication, identity, presence and relationships). In doing so, it considers the interplay of different areas of psychological research with current technological and security insight into how individuals create, manipulate and maintain their online identity and relationships. The social media are therefore at the core of every chapter, with the common thread throughout being the very unique approach to considering diverse and varied online behaviours that may not have been thus far considered from this perspective. It covers a broad range of both positive and negative behaviours that have now become integrated into the daily lives of many westernised country’s Internet users, giving it an appeal to both scholarly and industry readers alike.

Описание: This book offers significant managerial and economic knowledge on hospitals, and will serve as a valuable tool for explaining complicated managerial and economical problems, and for facilitating decision-making processes. It bridges management and economic sciences - two complementary sciences that feed the process of making rational decisions. With particular reference to the education, the main aim of this book is to provide students of relevant schools and departments with the knowledge (managerial and economic) that will enable them to deal both efficiently and effectively with the real problems arising in a health care organization such as a hospital. In particular, by equipping students with appropriate managerial and economic knowledge, the aim is to give them a clear understanding of HOW to deal with the diverse and complex problems of hospitals while at the same time helping them to develop strategic approaches that will make hospitals more efficient and sustainable.

Описание: Chapter 1: IntroductionThis book focuses on the different strategic directions commonly adopted by strategists in different industries. The different strategic views conceptualized in health care in addition to a crafted strategic framework that can be used to draw a summary of the market competitive dynamics will be described. Once the strategist has chosen the strategic direction for its firm, a strategic plan must follow. The application of the most common strategies used in other industries to develop and sustain a competitive advantage are discussed with special focus on Porter's strategies, namely low-cost leadership and service differentiation. Last, but not least, eight strategic tactics are discussed thoroughly with special attention to the operational initiatives, indicators, and goals of each. In the last two chapters, the author highlights the application of Porter's strategies in a set of Lebanese hospitals with emphasis on the limitations, constraints, and correlation factors between types of strategies used and performance of these hospitals. Chapter 2: Strategic Directions and ViewsTwo main strategic views are traditionally used in various industries including health care; these include the positional view and the resource-based view. In the positional view, strategic planning primarily lies in envisioning the position of the medical institution in the healthcare arena. The main competitive advantage lies in its current position in the market that mandates proper understanding of the various industries' attributes as well as the competitive forces that shape the position of the institution and its long-term profitability. The main industry attributes analyzed in health care are the rate of growth and profitability, geographic accessibility, strategic alliances, in addition to the weight and impact of technological innovation on its performance. An equally important strategic view is the resource-based view, where strategists look within the institution at its resources and capabilities in an attempt to develop new competencies that are of strategic relevance. The main question to be answered is "what are we good at" and how can we leverage on our competencies to expand our market share and grow further. This view is more commonly adopted in unstable environments characterized by turmoil, which makes industry attractiveness an elusive strategic start. Chapter 3: Porter's Strategies in Healthcare: 3.1: Choice of StrategyTwo types of strategy, namely cost leadership and differentiation strategy in their focused and broad applications, have been used to co-op with the changes in the healthcare environment. Differentiation strategy is about the provision of a service or a product with distinctive attributes that are of added value to the patient. It is about meeting patient's needs by providing patient-centered care with state-of-the-art technology and expertise. One accepted approach is improving the level of offering vis-а-vis the key success factors or improving the final or intermediate healthcare outcome measures by differentiating the existing services and/or creating new ones. Cost leadership strategy, on the other hand, means to be the lowest cost producer in the industry. The competitive advantage is derived from widening the gap between the cost of production and what the patient is willing to pay. This entails minimization of cost in various operational fields, business restructuring, and revamping of the overall cost structure. A basic approach is catalog activity and value chain analysis, where each service is disintegrated into a set of activities and the corresponding cost drivers are analyzed in relation to the overall cost, to the customer's need and market segment. Chapter 4: Sources of Competitive AdvantageA hospital possesses a compet
Описание: Any analysis of health financing issues has to begin with sound estimates of the level and flow of resources in a health system, including total levels of spending, the sources of health expenditures, the uses of funds in terms of services purchased, and in terms of who purchases them. The analysis should also aim at understanding how these resource flows are correlated with health system outcomes, including those of improving health, reducing health inequalities, and reducing the incidence of catastrophic health expenditure. National Health Accounts (NHA) provide a framework to collect, compile, and analyze such data on all types of health spending in a country—and so create a robust evidence base for policy making. Although NHA data delineate the key financial metrics of a health system, the collection of these data have not been institutionalized in most developing countries. The root problems are often the same: insufficient resources to collect, collate, analyze and produce information on spending; poor development of health and other information systems; low levels of local capacity to interpret information to meet policy needs; and inadequate demand for data within countries. Furthermore, in many low- and middle-income countries, NHA activities have been conducted as ad hoc, donor-driven initiatives. Since 2008, the World Bank has been coordinating a global initiative to identify bottlenecks to the institutionalization of NHA, and to learn lessons in countries at different stages on the journey towards this institutionalization. The focus has been less on the production of NHA and more on its relevance as a tool to enable policy makers develop and implement evidence-based decisions, and better measure the impact of health reforms, especially those related to health financing. This report has been developed through a consultative process, involving experts and policy makers from more than fifty low-, middle- and high-income countries, large and small, in all corners of the world, development partners and World Bank staff globally. The report represents a synthesis of lessons learned from country experiences and is intended to serve as a strategic guide to countries and their development partners as they design and implement their strategy to develop nationally relevant and internationally comparable data, collected in a routine and cost-effective manner.
