Decentralization and privatization have been the key elements of the new public management agenda for reshaping public services. Both trends have also affected the area of health services, with particular focus on hospital management. This paper describes the process of decentralization of healthcare and hospital governance in Poland for recent decades and discusses whether the increasing role of local and regional governments in hospital management has triggered the process of privatization of healthcare units. Deriving from statistical data and qualitative assessment, it concludes that while privatization of hospitals in one of the important trends in the Polish health policy, its scope is limited by several obstacles of economic, political and social nature.

Antenatal and postnatal processes and services is a component of Hospital Management Systems that has been given very little attention. Most healthcare institution carries out the antenatal and postnatal processes manually and keeps records of the whole processes on paper. In most cases in most hospital, records kept on paper and files get missing or misplaced leading to the loss of important records of clients which would have been very helpful for future pregnancies and clinical diagnosis. Report generation and statistical figures are difficult to generate with the manual based system. Data errors, security, and privacy are another problems associated with the manual system. In this paper, the antenatal and postnatal services were incorporated into the Hospital Management System of Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto with a view to reducing the issues and inconsistencies encountered with the manual procedure. Dreamweaver, PHP, CSS, JavaScript, Ajax, HTML and MySQL are the technological tools used to automate the incorporated antenatal and postnatal services in the system. The usefulness of the proposed system was evaluated using the System Usability Scale (SUS) questionnaire and some clinical users. The experimental evaluation shows that the developed system is beneficial to the clinic and the general public based on the result obtained in this study. The results also demonstrated that the developed system can fit into the antenatal and postnatal routine of many hospitals with little or no modification.

Hospitals are places that allow patients to rest and recover, and therefore must be quiet inside and in the surrounding neighborhood. One medical center was chosen as a sample hospital. This hospital was a tertiary care center during the 2003 outbreak of the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in Taiwan. The measurement results show that the noise level in the wards and stations was between 50.3 and 68.1 dB which exceeded the suggested hospital ward sound level. The quietest units were the Surgical Intensive Care Unit and recovery rooms with a noise level lower than 50 dB during the night. The higher noise levels were in the hall and pharmacy which were highly populated areas. This study analyzed the causes of this excessive noise and used noise reduction methods. The paired t test was performed and the results showed improvement methods were successful. This study found the noise levels reached 98.5-107.5 dB in power generator rooms and air-conditioning facilities, and suggests employees use ear plugs.

Celem artykułu jest zaprezentowanie najlepszej praktyki benchmarkingu dla publicznych zakładów opieki zdrowotnej. Przedstawione w pracy rozwiązania zostały opracowane na podstawie doniesień literaturowych krajowych i anglojęzycznych oraz dostępnych wyników badań. Ich analiza pozwoliła na stworzenie modelu działania przedstawiającego najważniejsze zasady stosowania benchmarkingu w szpitalach publicznych. Zaliczyć można do nich systematyczność, dynamiczność oraz sposób wprowadzenia. Konieczne jest także właściwe zrozumienie jego istoty, która zakłada, że benchmarking nie jest powielaniem działań istniejących, ale wzorcem, który umożliwia stworzenie na ich bazie własnych, twórczych rozwiązań. Sformułowane zasady można wykorzystać w praktyce zarządzania zakładem opieki zdrowotnej. Ich uwzględnienie ma szczególne znaczenie dla menedżerów służby zdrowia pragnących zastosować benchmarking jako metodę doskonalenia kompetencji organizacji.

The aim of the article is to present the best way of benchmarking implementation in public health care institutions. The solutions presented in the paper have been developed basing on specialist domestic and English literature. Their analysis make it possible to create such a model of action which would present the most important rules of benchmarking implementation in public hospitals. These rules comprise regularity, dynamism and the way of benchmarking implementation. It is also essential to understand correctly the nature of benchmarking which emphasizes that it is not repeating the existing state but a model which allows developing your own, creative solutions on the basis of a given model. The set of established rules can be applied in the process of managing a health care institution. Managers of such institutions who are eager to implement benchmarking as a tool of improving the competence of the organization.

From a surgical point of view, artificial intelligence (AI) does seem to be the holy grail of future medicine. Today data driven medicine influence also handwork - done with knifes, scissors, needles and sutures. Should a surgeon learn something about AI and data science? Big data, machine learning, NLP, video analysis and robotics will be a big part of modern surgery. Today’s operating robots like the Davinci already works with video analysis and machine learning. How AI will influence the OR of the future will be shown in this story. Please meet Dr. Smith. The surged of the future!

System ochrony zdrowia wymaga konieczności dokonania usprawnienia zasad organizacji jako całości oraz organizacji i funkcjonowania poszczególnych jego podmiotów ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem szpitali. Funkcjonowanie szpitali jest działalnością, która wymaga implementacji innych niż dotychczas sposobów zarządzania tymi podmiotami – m.in. wsparcia logistycznego. W artykule skupiono się na wyznaczeniu miejsca oraz określeniu użyteczności zastosowania logistyki w zarządzaniu szpitalami.

The health care system requires improvement in the rules of the organization perceived as the whole and as each of organisation entities, with particular emphasis paid to hospitals. Functioning of hospitals is an activity that requires implementation of other ways than managing these entities - including logistical support. The article focuses on the designation of the place and determines the usefulness of the application of logistics in hospital management.
