Health Data Management: Schlüsselfaktor für erfolgreiche Krankenhäuser
by Viola Henke Gregor Hülsken Henning Schneider Julian VargheseNeben der Einführung und Umsetzung einer Digitalstrategie spielt die ganzheitliche Verwaltung und Organisation von Gesundheitsdaten eine essenzielle Rolle für den Erfolg bei der digitalen Transformation in Krankenhäusern – kurz: ein professionelles Health Data Management (HDM).Dieses Buch widmet sich dieser Herausforderung, indem es in zahlreichen Expertenbeiträgen die dafür notwendigen Handlungsfelder aufzeigt – sie reichen von der Informationsstruktur und -architektur über die Datenerfassung und den interoperablen Datenaustausch bis hin zur Datenanalyse mit Künstlicher Intelligenz, Datenschutz und IT-Sicherheit. Anhand von Praxisbeispielen werden Bedeutung, Chancen, Herausforderungen und Lösungsansätze des Health Data Managements erläutert und konkrete Umsetzungsempfehlungen für den Wissenstransfer in den Klinikalltag gegeben.Die technischen Faktoren sollten bei der Planung und Umsetzung des HDM idealerweise durch „weiche“ Faktoren ergänzt werden, wie Unternehmenskultur, Führungsqualität und Mitarbeitermotivation, damit die Interaktion zwischen Mensch, Technologie, Prozessen und Kultur bei der digitalen Transformation im Krankenhaus gelingen kann. Nur so können Arbeitsabläufe verbessert, die Patientenversorgung optimiert, Prozesse vereinfacht, Diagnosen zielgenauer, Pflegekräfte und Ärzte entlastet und das Krankenhaus als Ganzes effizienter und wirtschaftlicher werden. Ein Blick in die Gesundheitssysteme anderer Länder und ihre Datenstrategien rundet dieses Buch ab.Health Data Management ist nicht nur ein technisches, sondern vielmehr ein gesellschaftliches Projekt mit dem Potenzial, das Gesundheitswesen grundlegend zu verändern und die Versorgung der Patienten auf ein neues und nachhaltiges Level zu heben.

Marco Pierre White: Making of Marco Pierre White,Sharpest Chef in History
by Charles HennessyMarco was born of working-class parents on a bleak council estate in Leeds, and his Italian mother died when he was six years old.

Dorothy Day: The World Will Be Saved by Beauty
by Kate Hennessy&“An intimate, revealing and sometimes wrenching family memoir of the journalist and social advocate who is now being considered for canonization&” (The New York Times), told with illuminating detail by her granddaughter.Dorothy Day (1897-1980) was a prominent Catholic, writer, social activist, and co-founder of a movement dedicated to serving the poorest of the poor. Her life has been documented through her own writings as well as the work of historians, theologians, and academics. What has been missing until now is a more personal account from the point of view of someone who knew her well. Dorothy Day:The World Will Be Saved by Beauty is a frank and reflective, heartfelt and humorous portrayal written by her granddaughter, Kate Hennessy.Dorothy Day, writes Hennessy, is an unusual candidate for sainthood. Before her conversion, she lived what she called a &“disorderly life,&” during which she had an abortion and then gave birth to a child out of wedlock. After her conversion, she was both an obedient servant and a rigorous challenger of the Church. She was a prolific writer whose books are still in print and widely read. Although compassionate, Hennessy shows Day to be driven, dogmatic, loving, as well as judgmental, in particular with her only daughter, Tamar. She was also full of humor and laughter and could light up any room she entered.An undisputed radical heroine, called &“a saint for the occupy era&” by TheNew Yorker, Day&’s story unfolds against a backdrop of New York City from the 1910s to the 1980s and world events spanning from World War I to Vietnam. This thoroughly researched and intimate biography provides a valuable and nuanced portrait of an undersung and provocative American woman. &“Frankly,&” says actor and activist Martin Sheen, &“it is a must-read.&”
A Duty of Care: Britain Before and After Covid
by Peter HennessyOne of our most celebrated historians shows how we can use the lessons of the past to build a new post-covid society in BritainThe 'duty of care' which the state owes to its citizens is a phrase much used, but what has it actually meant in Britain historically? And what should it mean in the future, once the immediate Covid crisis has passed?In A Duty of Care, Peter Hennessy divides post-war British history into BC (before covid) and AC (after covid). He looks back to Sir William Beveridge's classic identification of the 'five giants' against which society had to battle - want, disease, ignorance, squalor and idleness - and laid the foundations for the modern welfare state in his wartime report. He examines the steady assault on the giants by successive post-war governments and asks what the comparable giants are now. He lays out the 'road to 2045' with 'a new Beveridge' to build a consensus for post-covid Britain with the ambition and on the scale that was achieved by the first.
Having it So Good: Britain in the Fifties
by Peter HennessyWinner of the Orwell Prize for Political Writing, Peter Hennessy's Having it So Good: Britain in the Fifties captures Britain in an extraordinary decade, emerging from the shadow of war into growing affluence. The 1950s was the decade in which Roger Bannister ran the four-minute mile, Bill Haley released 'Rock Around the Clock', rationing ended and Britain embarked on the traumatic, disastrous Suez War. In this highly enjoyable, original book, Peter Hennessy takes his readers into front rooms, classrooms, cabinet rooms and the new high-street coffee bars of Britain to recapture, as no previous history has, the feel, the flavour and the politics of this extraordinary time of change. 'Utterly engaging ... a treat. It breathes exhilaration' Libby Purves, The Times 'If the Gods gossip, this is how it would sound' Philip Ziegler, Spectator Books of the Year 'A particular treat ... fine, wise and meticulously researched' Andrew Marr 'Stands clear of the field as our best narrative history of this decisive decade' Peter Clarke, Sunday Times 'A compelling narrative ... Hennessy's love of the flesh and blood of politics breathes on every page' Tim Gardam, Observer 'The late Ben Pimlott once described Hennessy as "something of a national institution". You can forget the first two of those five words' Guardian
Winds of Change: Britain in the Early Sixties
by Peter HennessyFollowing Never Again and Having It So Good, the third part of Peter Hennessy's celebrated Post-War Trilogy'By far the best study of early Sixties Britain ... so much fun, yet still shrewd and important' The Times, Books of the Year Harold Macmillan famously said in 1960 that the wind of change was blowing over Africa and the remaining British Empire. But it was blowing over Britain too - its society; its relationship with Europe; its nuclear and defence policy. And where it was not blowing hard enough - the United Kingdom's economy - great efforts were made to sweep away the cobwebs of old industrial practices and poor labour relations. Life was lived in the knowledge that it could end in a single afternoon of thermonuclear exchange if the uneasy, armed peace of the Cold War tipped into a Third World War.In Winds of Change we see Macmillan gradually working out his 'grand design' - how to be part of both a tight transatlantic alliance and Europe, dealing with his fellow geostrategists Kennedy and de Gaulle. The centre of the book is 1963 - the year of the Profumo Crisis, the Great Train Robbery, the satire boom, de Gaulle's veto of Britain's first application to join the EEC, the fall of Macmillan and the unexpected succession to the premiership of Alec Douglas-Home. Then, in 1964, the battle of what Hennessy calls the tweedy aristocrat and the tweedy meritocrat - Harold Wilson, who would end 13 years of Conservative rule and usher in a new era.As in his acclaimed histories of British life in the two previous decades, Never Again and Having it so Good, Peter Hennessy explains the political, economic, cultural and social aspects of a nation with inimitable wit and empathy. No historian knows the by-ways as well the highways of the archives so well, and no one conveys the flavour of the period so engagingly. The early sixties live again in these pages.
