  • proactivity postponed capturing records created in the context of e Government a literary warrant analysis of the plans for a national e archive service in sweden
    Electronic Government, 2015
    Co-Authors: Annsofie Klareld
    Abstract:

    Proactive records management is often described as a prerequisite for a well-functioning public administration that is efficient, legally secure and democratic. In the context of e-Government, Official information is seen as a valuable asset, which is why technical solutions are developed to improve accessibility and reusability. Yet how to 'capture' and preserve the information is still unclear, and adaptations of routines which have originated in a paper based administration to practices suitable for managing digital records are often lacking. This risks impeding on the work of public agencies, their services toward citizens, and the goals of e-Government. This paper uses current plans for developing a national e-archive service in Sweden as a case, applying literary warrant and the records continuum model to discuss how archives management can support the goals of e-Government and facilitate proactivity. A special focus is placed on 'capture' as a vital part of holistic recordkeeping. The result shows that despite regulations and ambitions supporting proactivity, 'capture' is not emphasized as a necessity for using, sharing and preserving Official information. This could create archives that are incomplete, and risk contributing to a decline in Governmental transparency and openness.

  • caring for a major Government Official challenges and lessons learned
    Critical Care Medicine, 2007
    Co-Authors: Yoram Weiss, Shlomo Moryosef, Charles L Sprung, Charles Weissman, Yuval Weiss
    Abstract:

    Objective: Analysis of the medical, organizational, and administrative issues surrounding the care of a dignitary in an intensive care unit. The Story: On January 4, 2006, Ariel Sharon, the Israeli Prime Minister was emergently admitted to the Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center in Jerusalem owing to a severe intracranial hemorrhage. Immediately following his admission, he underwent an extensive neurosurgical procedure to control the bleeding. Thereafter, he required intensive care for 5 months and underwent additional procedures. This admission presented organizational and administrative challenges. Organization of Medical Care: The major challenge was to provide the Prime Minister with the best medical care while avoiding the "very important person syndrome" and simultaneously continuing routine hospital activities. To coordinate his complicated medical management, a consultation forum was established composed of all the physicians directly involved in Mr. Sharon's care. Additionally, a senior intensivist was chosen to coordinate the medical care and, along with a physician from the hospital administration, assist with administrative issues. Administrative Aspects: Among the issues that the coordinating team addressed, with the help of many other hospital services, included patient confidentiality vs. public information, security of the patient's medical chart (including laboratory data and imaging), and coordination with security personnel. Conclusion: The acute care of a major Governmental Official requires the medical staff to address many administrative issues, while providing the "very important person" patient with appropriate intensive medical care. This article presents a strategy for addressing these issues.

  • measuring local Government transparency
    Public Management Review, 2016
    Co-Authors: Nuno F Da Cruz, Antonio F Tavares, Rui Cunha Marques, Susana Jorge, Luis De Sousa
    Abstract:

    Despite the importance of Government transparency to promote accountability and prevent maladministration, empirical research has failed to produce proper tools to assess and compare Government transparency practices. Most contributions to the topic do not address it from a stakeholder’s perspective, particularly in selecting the indicators to include in transparency indexes. This paper contributes to the debate by developing a municipal transparency index based on information available on local Government Official websites. The methodological approach borrows insights from the decision analysis literature to structure the index through a participatory process. An application to the Portuguese local Government setting is briefly discussed.
