  • danger is in the eye of the beholders social representations of information systems security in Healthcare
    Journal of Strategic Information Systems, 2007
    Co-Authors: Emmanuelle Vaast
    Abstract:

    This paper investigates the social representations of Information Systems (IS) security of different communities working in a Healthcare Organization. It considers questions of IS security as socially constructed and dependent on how people make sense of their context of work. The social representations perspective presented in this paper is especially useful to make sense of IS security from the point of view of various communities. The paper illustrates the relevance of this perspective by analyzing the differences and similarities in the way members of seven occupational communities (e.g., physicians, nurses, IS professionals) working in the same Healthcare Organization represent IS security. The paper finally draws the strategic implications for research and practice of considering the social representations of IS security. In particular, security and awareness programs should be customized to acknowledge that members of various communities ''know'' different things about security and that they react differently to various security initiatives.

  • stress prevention work a study protocol for the evaluation of a multifaceted integral stress prevention strategy to prevent employee stress in a Healthcare Organization a cluster controlled trial
    BMC Public Health, 2018
    Co-Authors: Rianne J A Hoek, Bo M Havermans, E P M Brouwers, Yvonne F Heerkens, Moniek C Zijlstravlasveld, Johannes R Anema, Allard J Van Der Beek, Irene L D Houtman, Cecile R L Boot
    Abstract:

    Adequate implementation of work-related stress management interventions can reduce or prevent work-related stress and sick leave in Organizations. We developed a multifaceted integral stress-prevention strategy for Organizations from several sectors that includes a digital platform and collaborative learning network. The digital platform contains a stepwise protocol to implement work-related stress-management interventions. It includes stress screeners, interventions and intervention providers to facilitate access to and the selection of matching work-related stress-management interventions. The collaborative learning network, including stakeholders from various Organizations, plans meetings focussing on an exchange of experiences and good practices among Organizations for the implementation of stress prevention measures. This paper describes the design of an integral stress-prevention strategy, Stress Prevention@Work, and the protocol for the evaluation of: 1) the effects of the strategy on perceived stress and work-related outcomes, and 2) the barriers and facilitators for implementation of the strategy. The effectiveness of Stress Prevention@Work will be evaluated in a cluster controlled trial, in a large Healthcare Organization in the Netherlands, at six and 12 months. An independent researcher will match teams on working conditions and size and allocate the teams to the intervention or control group. Teams in the intervention group will be offered Stress Prevention@Work. For each intervention team, one employee is responsible for applying the strategy within his/her team using the digital platform and visiting the collaborative learning network. Using a waiting list design, the control group will be given access to the strategy after 12 months. The primary outcome is the employees’ perceived stress measured by the stress subscale of the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21). Secondary outcome measures are job demands, job resources and the number of preventive stress measures implemented at the team level. Alongside the trial, a process evaluation, including barriers and facilitators of the implementation of Stress Prevention@Work, will be conducted in one Healthcare organisation. If Stress Prevention@Work is found to be effective in one Healthcare organisation, further implementation on a broader scale might lead to increased productivity and decreased stress and sick leave in other Organizations. Results are expected in 2018. NTR5527 . Registered 7 Dec 2015.

  • effectiveness of a digital platform based implementation strategy to prevent work stress in a Healthcare Organization a 12 month follow up controlled trial
    Scandinavian Journal of Work Environment & Health, 2018
    Co-Authors: Bo M Havermans, Cile Rl C Boot, E P M Brouwers, I L D Houtman, Yvonne F Heerkens, Moniek C Zijlstravlasveld, Jos W R Twisk, Johannes R Anema, Allard J Van Der Beek
    Abstract:

    Objectives Healthcare workers frequently deal with work stress. This is a risk factor for adverse mental and physical health effects. The objective of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of a digital platform-based implementation strategy - compared to a control group - on stress, work stress determinants (ie. psychosocial work factors) and the level of implementation among Healthcare workers. Methods By way of matching, 30 teams from a Healthcare Organization were assigned to the experimental (15 teams; N=252) or wait-list control (15 teams; N=221) group. The experimental group received access to the strategy for 12 months. They were asked to complete the 5-step protocol within six months. The primary outcome was stress (DASS-21) and secondary outcomes were psychological demands, social support, autonomy, and the level of implementation. Questionnaire-based data were collected at baseline, and at 6- and 12-months follow-up. Linear mixed model analyses were used to test differences between the two groups. Results In total, 210 participants completed the baseline questionnaire and at least one follow-up questionnaire. There was a significant effect of the strategy on stress in favor of the experimental group [B=-0.95, 95% confidence interval (CI) -1.81 - -0.09]. No statistically significant differences were found for any secondary outcomes. Conclusions The strategy showed potential for primary prevention of work stress, mainly explained by an increase in stress in the control group that was prevented in the experimental group. More research is necessary to assess the full potential of the strategy.

  • modelling the readiness factors for agility in Healthcare Organization a tism approach
    Benchmarking: An International Journal, 2019
    Co-Authors: V Vaishnavi, M. Suresh, Pankaj Dutta
    Abstract:

    The purpose of this paper is to identify and analyze the interactions among different readiness factors for implementing agility in Healthcare Organization. Total interpretive structural modeling (TISM) based readiness framework for agility has been developed to understand the mutual interactions among the factors and to identify the driving and dependence power of these factors.,The identification of factors is done by TISM approach used for analyzing the mutual interactions between factors. Cross-impact matrix multiplication applied to classification analysis is utilized to find the driving and dependent factors of agile readiness in Healthcare.,This paper identifies 12 factors of readiness for change in literature review, which is followed by an expert interview to understand the interconnection of factors and to study interrelationships of factors. The study suggests that factors like environmental scanning, resource availability, innovativeness, cost effectiveness, Organizational leadership, training and development are important for implementing/improving the readiness of agility in Healthcare Organizations.,This research focuses mainly on readiness factors for agility in Healthcare sector.,Top management must stress on readiness factors that have a strong driving power for efficient implementation of agility in Healthcare. This study helps the managers to take quick decisions, and continuous monitoring of readiness factors would be more beneficial to improve the quality of service, which makes the Organization more agile.,In this research, TISM-based readiness for agile framework structural model has been proposed for Healthcare Organizations, which is a new effort for implementation of agility in Healthcare.

  • Modelling the Enablers of Agile Performance in Healthcare Organization: A TISM Approach
    Global Journal of Flexible Systems Management, 2017
    Co-Authors: Rojalin Patri, M. Suresh
    Abstract:

    This study attempts to model the enablers of agility of Healthcare Organizations and interprets the interrelationship among them using total interpretive structural modelling (TISM). Its contribution to the knowledge base is twofold. First, it provides a hierarchical structure portraying the driving enablers and the dependent enablers. Second, it ranks the enablers based on their influence on Organization agility. To accomplish the above objectives, ten enablers of Organization agility have been identified through an extensive literature review followed by an expert interview to comprehend the interactions and transitivity between the enablers and finally an analysis of the interrelationship using TISM. The results suggest that Organizational structure is the most crucial enabler of agile performance in Healthcare Organization. Apart from that, a motivated and flexible workforce, cooperation between management and employees, availability of training and implementation of employee and patient’s suggestion play a significant role in Healthcare Organization agility. Eventually, limitations and future research avenues have been outlined to extend the current study.
