Sztuczna inteligencja jest obecnie bardzo szybko i wielokierunkowo rozwijana. Towarzyszą temu liczne zastosowania tej techniki w rożnych dziedzinach. Artykuł dokonuje wstępnego przeglądu obszarów, w których sztuczna inteligencja mogłaby wspomagać lekarzy. Przegląd ten nawiązuje do opracowania, które autor przygotował do wystąpienia firmy Microsoft na Forum Ekonomicznym w Karpaczu. Poruszana problematyka jest bardzo poważna, ale dla kontrastu i zaciekawienia czytelników ilustracje wskazujące kolejne obszary zastosowań sztucznej inteligencji w medycynie przedstawiono w postaci żartobliwych rysunków. W samym artykule nie przywoływano żadnych rozwiązań szczegółowych, bo chodzi tu o spojrzenie na całość problematyki „z lotu ptaka”, ale w spisie literatury przywołano publikacje autora, ilustrujące szczegółowo zarysowane ogólnie tezy.

Artificial intelligence is currently being developed very quickly and in many directions. This is accompanied by numerous applications of this technique in various fields. The article provides an initial overview of areas where artificial intelligence could support physicians. This review refers to the study prepared by the author for Microsoft’s presentation at the Economic Forum in Karpacz. The issues raised are very serious, but for the sake of contrast and interest of the readers, the illustrations showing the subsequent areas of application of artificial intelligence in medicine are presented in the form of humorous drawings. The article itself did not refer to any detailed solutions, because it is about looking at the whole problem from a “bird’s eye view”, but the list of references mentions the author’s publications, illustrating the general theses outlined in detail.

During a global health crisis, a country’s borders are a weak point through which carriers from countries with high morbidity rates can enter, endangering the health of the local community and undermining the authorities’ efforts to prevent the spread of the pathogen. Therefore, most countries have adopted some level of border closure policies as one of the first steps in handling pandemics. However, this step involves a significant economic loss, especially for countries that rely on tourism as a source of income. We developed a pioneering model to help decision-makers determine the optimal border closure policies during a health crisis that minimize the magnitude of the outbreak and maximize the revenue of the tourism industry. This approach is based on a hybrid mathematical model that consists of an epidemiological sub-model with tourism and a pandemic-focused economic sub-model, which relies on elements from the field of artificial intelligence to provide policymakers with a data-driven model for a border closure strategy for tourism during a global pandemic.

The digital revolution is changing every aspect of life by simulating the ways humansthink, learn and make decisions. Dentistry is one of the major fields where subsets ofartificial intelligence are extensively used for disease predictions. Periodontitis, the mostprevalent oral disease, is the main focus of this study. We propose methods for classifyingand segmenting periodontal cysts on dental radiographs using CNN, VGG16, and U-Net.Accuracy of 77.78% is obtained using CNN, and enhanced accuracy of 98.48% is obtainedthrough transfer learning with VGG16. The U-Net model also gives encouraging results.This study presents promising results, and in the future, the work can be extended withother pre-trained models and compared. Researchers working in this field can develop novelmethods and approaches to support dental practitioners and periodontists in decision-making and diagnosis and use artificial intelligence to bridge the gap between humansand machines.

Introduction/background: This article is based on a master thesis carried out by Aleksandra Pędowska under the scientific supervision of the author (Management stationary II degree: “Impact of the communication system on the management process in a selected poviat hospital”). Communication, as an element of management, is an essential function of all activities that are undertaken in organisations. A high level of communication leads to effective and efficient functioning and management of the organisation. Any cooperation that occurs between employees within an organisation is geared towards communicating with each other in such a way that the organisation can function well. The communication process also shapes interpersonal relationships. Communication in organisations, as in everyday life, is a difficult and complex process, which requires constant improvement and change. Clear and reliable communication contributes to the professional success of the organisation, to job satisfaction and effectively influences the organisation's management; it also warms up the organisation's image, increases the satisfaction of customers or patients as well as the employees who work for the organisation. Aim of the paper: The main aim of the research was to find out how the communication between the employees of the respective organisational units looks like and to collect as much information and data as possible on how the communication system influences the management process in the selected poviat hospital. Materials and methods: Literature analysis, analysis of source materials (internal), survey method – technique: indirect survey, tool: survey questionnaire. Results and conclusions: The important areas that comprise the effective management of a public organisation are dependent on the functioning of a proper communication system. The effectiveness of communication in the studied organisation in relation to management, in the opinion of the employees, is at a good or very good level. The occurrence of communication within the organisation contributes to the functioning of the organisation in an effective and efficient manner, despite the moderate current level of communication, which may be caused, for example, by the lack of training at the workplace. Communication contributes to the better functioning and management of the poviat hospital and furthermore warms the image of the organisation among patients and correctly influences the fulfilment of assigned duties or tasks by employees when communication is an efficient and clear process. Communication influences the management process in an organisation. Employees form the foundation of the organisation's functioning through communication within the organisation. In the researched organisation, the management orders and the electronic form (e-mail) are important areas in the process of information transfer, which works and is effective. It can be concluded that a good communication system in the organisation means motivated to work and informed employees. The foundation for building an effective management process in the organisation is a coherent and clear communication system. Therefore, it can be concluded that communication in the selected organisation, which is Zespół Opieki Zdrowotnej Spółka z.o.o., (Health Care Centre LTD.) is correct both in the area of functioning of the entire organisation and between individual employees.

Social health awareness in the context of medical prophylaxis influences the current trends in the design of modern domestic bathrooms. The importance of the health role of the modern bathroom also results from the current social and economic situation around the world, resulting in the need for independent health control and the developing need for medical prophylaxis, taking care of immunity and psychophysical condition in the face of public health threats. Therefore, it was necessary to investigate the health factors in bathroom design based on research and analysis of literature and materials from foreign research institutes. The study concerned design possibilities in the selection of bathroom equipment elements enabling a wide range of comfort and supporting and monitoring the health of bathroom users. The research included a review and analysis of technologically advanced solutions, intelligent solutions, including Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, ensuring health prophylaxis in the home bathroom. The potential for the use of innovative technologies and the possibility of process control, easy flow of information in relation to the external environment (e.g. remote contact with a doctor) was indicated. The need for easy and intuitive use of intelligent devices was taken into account, as well as the possibility of independent, systematic control and protection of health without the need for stationary medical visits, with a view to time and safety of healthcare professionals and patients. The research results summarize the fields of medicine where smart bathroom appliances can create new opportunities to improve user health.

Technological solutions involving cameras can contribute to safety in home and healthcare, but they pose privacy issues. We use a low-resolution infrared thermopile array sensor, which offers more privacy, to determine if the user is on the bed. Two datasets were captured, one under constant conditions, and a second one under different variations. We test three machine learning algorithms under 10-fold cross validation, with the highest accuracy in the main dataset being 99%. The results with variable data show a lower reliability under certain circumstances, highlighting the need of extra work to meet the challenge of variations in the environment.

W rozdziale dokonano analizy potrzeby szkoleń specjalistycznych wśród pracowników służby zdrowia – lekarzy, pielęgniarek, personelu pomocniczego. Pracownicy służby zdrowia oprócz umiejętności i klasyfikacji wynikających z uprawianego zawodu powinni posiadać umiejętności, które podnoszą komfort pracy, zwłaszcza jeśli chodzi o kontakt z pacjentem. Bardzo często pracownicy służby zdrowia nie posiadają tzw. umiejętności „miękkich”, które ułatwiają pracę w stresujących warunkach między samymi pracownikami, jak i pracownikami i pacjentami. Naczelna Izba Lekarska posiada w swoim pakiecie edukacyjnym różne rodzaje szkoleń. Jednak brakuje tych, które pomagałyby pracownikom służby zdrowia identyfikować zagrożenia z grupy psychospołecznych zagrożeń zawodowych i wskazywać jak sobie z nimi radzić. W rozdziale przedstawiono wyniki ankiety przeprowadzonej wśród pracowników śląskich placówek służby zdrowia, która dotyczyła m.in. opinii respondentów na temat potrzeb szkoleń dodatkowych i specjalistycznych dla pracowników służby zdrowia.

The chapter analyzes the need for specialist training among healthcare professionals - doctors, nurses, support staff. In addition to skills and classifications resulting from the profession, health professionals should have skills that improve the comfort of work, especially when it comes to contact with the patient. Very often, health care workers do not have so-called "soft" skills that facilitate working in stressful conditions between the employees themselves as well as employees and patients. The Chief Medical Chamber has in its educational package, various types of training. However, there are a lack of those that would help healthcare professionals identify risks from the group of psychosocial occupational hazards and indicate how to deal with them. The chapter presents the results of a survey conducted among employees of Silesian health care institutions, which concerned respondents' opinions on the needs of additional and specialist training for health professionals.

This article presents the quality, safety and assessment system as the important tools to supervise the health care organization. Quality is the sum of the properties and characteristics of a product, process or service that is appropriate to meet the complex requirements. In the case of health care is difficult to valuate quality, the universal indicators become useful tool. The development of quality indicators requires collecting of data and their proper processing. The high quality of medical services requires continuous improvement and adaptation to patients’ needs. The quality indicators, for example, refer directly to the effects of therapy and are used to measure the success or failure of the applied therapeutic methods. Measuring the results of activities indicates only the level of quality of the services provided. The data helps to analyze information and improve the quality and safety of health care services.

Online registers contain a large amount of data about healthcare providers in the Czech Republic. Information is available to all citizens and can be useful to patients, governmental organisations or employers. Based on these data, we are able to create a high-quality snapshot of the current state of healthcare providers. Interconnecting data from more data sources together is an interesting task, and accomplishing it enables us to ask more complex questions. This paper focuses on answering several questions about dentists in our country. A dataset from one online database was created, using automated data mining methods and a subsequent analysis. Results are presented via an online tool, which was provided to owners of the data. They reviewed our results and decided to use our findings for the presentation to the Czech government and subsequent negotiation processes. Our paper describes used methods, shows some results and outlines possibilities for further work.

According to the information presented by the Ministry of Health, public hospital liabilities at the end of 2017 amounted to over 11 billions zł. Despite reforms implemented in the health care sector (including: laws enhancing restructuring and adaptation activities, support programs for hospitals and local government units from the support of state budget, changes in the method of financing health services and the implementation of the law favoring commercialization etc.) in relation to the debt of 2003 (first period of data collection) liabilities of public hospitals increased by 63.3%. Therefore, it is important to carefully analyze the mechanisms that increase the liabilities of hospitals, and thus observe the activities undertaken in hospitals as a result of systemic changes.

Według danych zaprezentowanych przez Ministerstwo Zdrowia zobowiązania szpitali publicznych na koniec roku 2017 wyniosły ponad 11 mld zł. Mimo licznych reform w sektorze ochrony zdrowia (m.in.: ustawa o działalności leczniczej, programy wsparcia szpitali i jednostek samorządowych z budżetu państwa itp.) zobowiązania szpitali publicznych wzrosły o 63,3% w stosunku do zadłużenia z roku 2003 (pierwszy okres gromadzenia danych). Istotne zatem jest poddanie analizie mechanizmów powodujących wzrost zobowiązań wśród szpitali, a tym samym obserwacja podejmowanych przez nie działań w odpowiedzi na zmiany systemowe.

Powstałe w Polsce nierówności w zdrowiu są efektem funkcjonowania historycznie uwarunkowanego modelu udzielania świadczeń zdrowotnych. Brak spójnej polityki państwa w zakresie modelowania i wykorzystania zasobów systemu ochrony zdrowia przyczynił się do utrwalenia nieefektywnej i nieadekwatnej do zidentyfikowanych potrzeb zdrowotnych społeczeństwa, jego struktury. W zakresie kreowania wiarygodnych narzędzi prognostycznych w sektorze ochrony zdrowia, powstanie map potrzeb zdrowotnych ma znaczenie fundamentalne. Biorąc pod uwagę ograniczoność zasobów, optymalizacja systemu ochrony zdrowia, przy wykorzystaniu narzędzi prognostycznych, jest procesem nieodzownym dla niwelowania nierówności społecznych w zdrowiu. Rezygnacja z regulacyjnej roli państwa w tym obszarze oraz przerzucenie znaczącej części odpowiedzialności za system na niepowiązanych ze sobą jego uczestników (m.in. samorządy, MSWiA, MS, MZ, uniwersytety medyczne, podmioty prywatne) doprowadziły do znaczącej jego dekompozycji, utraty spójności i niejasnego podziału odpowiedzialności za zabezpieczenie zdrowotne populacji. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie istoty i identyfikacja uwarunkowań nierówności w zdrowiu w ujęciu systemowym i historycznym oraz opisanie celów, przesłanek i roli map potrzeb zdrowotnych w modelowaniu systemu ochrony zdrowia. W artykule dokonano przeglądu literatury przedmiotu oraz analizy dokumentów i aktów prawnych dotyczących polityki zdrowotnej. Wobec rosnącego niedoboru zasobów przekształcenia i łączenie struktur lecznictwa szpitalnego, zarówno na określonych obszarach jak i w samych jednostkach, są procesem nieuniknionym. Przyszła efektywność kosztowa oraz jakościowa będzie ściśle uzależniona od racjonalności i kontrolowalności nadchodzących procesów konsolidacyjnych.

The inequalities in health that have arisen in Poland are the effect of the historically conditioned model of providing health services to the society. Lack of a coherent state policy, in the field of modeling and use of the health care system resources, contributed to the consolidation of inefficient and inadequate to identified health needs, its structures. In the area of creating reliable prognostic tools in the health care sector, the creation of health needs maps is of fundamental importance. Considering the limited resources, optimization of the health care system, using forecasting tools, is an indispensable process for eliminating social inequalities in health. The resignation from the regulatory role of the state in this area and transferring a significant part of responsibility for the system to unrelated participants (including local governments, Ministry of Interior and Administration, Ministry of Justice, Medical Universities, private entities) led to its significant decomposition, loss of coherence and unclear division of responsibility for health protection of the population. The aim of the article is to present the essence and identification of determinants of inequalities in health in systemic and historical terms and to describe the goals, premises and role of health needs maps in modeling the health care system. The article reviews literature and analysis of documents and legal acts regarding health policy. In the face of growing scarcity of resources, transformations and combining hospital treatment structures, both in specific areas and in the units themselves, are inevitable. Future cost and quality efficiency will be strictly dependent on the rationality and controllability of the incoming consolidation processes.

The necessity of clean environment is the major aspect in this modern age. This maintains a healthy environment. Also several trials have made with multidisciplinary researchers for development of healthy environment. However, it is even important to facilitate the unhealthy people in the healthcares. Some extent technology has an important role to support it. In this paper, a case study of water supply in the modern health care units is analyzed. This work describes the application of rule based Fuzzy Logic for control operation in water supply section. To refine fuzzy rules' initial approximate set automatically, a self-organizing fuzzy controller has been used. The quality factor is increased by applying the PD-type fuzzy controller. To make the system robust, the controller has been designed with Fuzzy Logic rules. The simulation results confirm the advantages and demonstrate for better dynamic behavior and performance, as well as perfect control with no overshoot. For low energy consumption, either the energy input is decreased or the efficiency of the mechanical transmission and processes has been increased. Performance of these new controllers has been verified through simulation using MATLAB.

Współcześnie sektor usług turystycznych stanowi jedną z dynamicznie rozwijających się dziedzin życia społecznego. Turystyka spełnia wiele funkcji determinujących konsekwencje jej rozwoju. Za kluczową wśród nich uznaje się funkcję zdrowotną, której realizacją zajmuje się między innymi turystyka medyczna. Wyróżnia się ona spośród innych form turystyki połączniem podróży w celach zdrowotnych oraz turystycznych. Postępujący proces globalizacji, innowacyjne technologie w inżynierii medycznej oraz jednakowy dostęp do świadczeń zdrowotnych na terenie Unii Europejskiej przyczyniły się do powstania nowych perspektyw w funkcjonowaniu systemu opieki zdrowotnej oraz świadczenia specjalistycznych usług medycznych. Znaczne koszty usług medycznych w krajach rozwiniętych, odległe terminy planowanych zabiegów, długi czas oczekiwania na wykonanie świadczenia oraz wzrastający popyt na profesjonalne usługi medyczne wynikające z postępującego procesu starzenia się społeczeństw spowodowały, że w 2011 roku Unia Europejska wprowadziła dyrektywę koordynującą prawa pacjentów w transgranicznej opiece zdrowotnej. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest wskazanie na prawa, które przysługują turyście korzystającemu ze świadczenia medycznego poza granicami własnego państwa. Metodę badawczą stanowiła analiza treści koordynacji systemów zabezpieczenia społecznego oraz dyrektywy transgranicznej. W artykule wskazano także na postanowienia Trybunału Sprawiedliwości UE, którego wyroki przyczyniły się do wdrożenia zasad transgranicznej opieki medycznej w państwach Wspólnoty Europejskiej.

The most crucial among them is the health function, which is realized through, inter alia, medical tourism. It is distinguished from other forms of tourism by combing travel for health and tourist purposes. The progressive globalization process, innovative technologies in medical engineering and equal access to health services within the European Union contributed to the emergence of new perspectives for the functioning of the health system and the provision of specialist medical services. Significant costs of medical services in the developed countries, distant dates of planned procedures, long waiting time to be granted benefits and an increasing demand for professional medical services resulting from the progressive aging of the population led, in 2011, to introducing by the European Union of a directive adjusting patients rights in cross-border healthcare. The aim of this paper is to show what rights a tourist is entitled to when using medical services outside one’s country. The research method involved an analysis of the content of the social security systems coordination and the cross-border directive. The paper also indicates the provisions of the EU Court of Justice, which have contributed to the implementation of cross-border healthcare within the European Community
