Handbook of Research on Complexities, Management, and Governance in Healthcare

Ubaldo Comite

Over the years, the complexity of health systems has grown due to the continuous and constant introduction of new technologies—process, production, and organizational—which have increased the number of stakeholders involved, creating new relationships and new channels through which the various subjects interact. It is necessary to highlight the critical issues and opportunities relating to the innovation of the organization and governance of health services as well as the complementarity of management and leadership. The new health needs require a Copernican revolution in the organization of services: not only offering individual services but also effective permanent care of the patient within institutional and professional assistance networks and effective, efficient, and appropriate pathways. This requires that on an organizational and managerial level, the internal relationships between the branches of the healthcare companies must be reviewed and closer relationships built with the managing bodies of the social and welfare services. The Handbook of Research on Complexities, Management, and Governance in Healthcare proceeds with a reasoned reconstruction of healthcare issues through the problems connected to the complexities, management, and governance in healthcare in light of the recent COVID-19 pandemic. It discusses both the ethical side of health and the economic, organizational, and legal content. Covering topics such as healthcare innovation, taxation for public health, and waste disposal, this major reference work is a comprehensive resource for healthcare administration, directors, executive boards, lawyers, sociologists, government officials and policymakers, students and faculty of higher education, libraries, researchers, and academicians.

Complex Systems and Sustainability in the Global Auditing, Consulting, and Credit Rating Agency Industries

Michael C. Nwogugu

Current issues within industrial organization, mechanism design, political economy, and complex systems in the global accounting/consulting industry and global credit rating agency industry can have massive effects on international trade and international capital flows as these industries are some of the most international of all service industries. One major issue that is often overlooked is that NPLs, LRCs, and CRAs are significantly affected by both business processes and the nature and tenure of human-computer interactions (HCI) of the financial market ecosystem. Therefore, it is important to analyze the theories about business processes and the long-term impact of the use of computers on individuals and groups within the context of corporate strategy and vice versa. Through these theories one can better understand the changes technology has caused in the financial ecosystem and the way business models are shifting and developing to handle these changes. Complex Systems and Sustainability in the Global Auditing, Consulting, and Credit Rating Agency Industries analyzes and develops theories about public policy and "inter-business" processes that are designed and executed within the context of computer networks. It focuses on aspects of complex systems (including networks), mechanism-design, and behavioral game theory and introduces new models and "informal algorithms" that solve social-choice problems. It will also present new business/compensation models for the accounting/auditing, credit rating agency, and business-opportunities industries as well as analyze industry structure, structural changes, and antitrust problems. This book is essential for employees in the industry, financial services, research institutes, consulting firms, and government agencies, along with accountants, financial planners, auditors, consultants, practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students interested in industrial mathematics and theoretical computer science.
