Integrative Expertise for Global Health
***This group lists publications in the area of integrative expertise for health care and its enterprise architecture. These publications cover the needs and resources, interests and technology of multiple stakeholders (from the WHO to the poorest patient). Together the full scope of the health enterprise is to be considered: access to resources: knowledge, medication, instruments, money; strategy to operations; from persons' livelihoods to public-private interactions, technology interfaces and component families. *** Here follow some key events/resources that are pertinent to this groups growth. +++++ 2009/28/09: group renamed after reading the article by M. MacLachlan: http://www.citeulike.org/group/4365/article/5328779 +++++ 2009/05/22: Broad Plan On IP, Innovation In Developing Countries Approved At WHO. For details, see http://www.ip-watch.org/weblog/2009/05/22/who-committee-approves-broad-plan-on-ip-innovation-in-developing-countries/ : NGOs Health Action International and IQsensato issued a proposed way for countries to monitor implementation of the strategy and action plan. See: http://www.iqsensato.org/?page_id=49 +++++ 2009/03/08: For updates on recent advances in the broad area, see: WHO | eHealth Intelligence Report: http://www.who.int/goe/ehir/en/ +++++ 2009/02/21: Researchers and practitioners interested in the topics of this group are invited to take note of the existence of: ++ HIF-net < http://d2.dgroups.org/groups/hif-net >: a Dgroup facilitated collaboration of INASP and the Global Forum for Health Research working together to improve access to reliable information for health researchers and healthcare providers in developing and emerging countries. ++ HR4D-net (Health Research for Development) < http://d2.dgroups.org/groups/HR4D-net >: a global email discussion group dedicated to promoting health research to improve the health of people in developing countries. ++ ProHealth 2009 (3d Int. Workshop on Process-oriented information systems in healthcare; < http://mis.hevra.haifa.ac.il/~morpeleg/events/prohealth09/ >. +++++ 2008/11/25: The Bamako Call to Action ON RESEARCH FOR HEALTH reflects the level of consensus reached at the Global Ministerial Forum in Bamako, Mali (see http://www.tropika.net/svc/specials/bamako2008/call-for-action/call). This citeulike group offers "grassroots" services in support of the action points 3, 6, 7, 12 and 20 of the Call to Action. +++++ 2008/10/7: There was a presentation on Global Health Enterprise Architecture at the 21st CODATA conference ( http://www.codata.org/08conf/ ); focus is on the "Global Health Enterprise Architecture" descriptors that reflect (elements) of http://www.citeulike.org/user/jago/article/2930315, a document that has served as an input for the Global Strategy and Plan of Action on Public Health, Innovation and intellectual property; this plan of action was endorsed by the World Health Assembly on May 24, 2008 (WHA61.21, see: http://www.who.int/gb/ebwha/pdf_files/A61/A61_R21-en.pdf ); progress regarding its implementation is available from http://www.cohred.org/main/briefing/COHRED_BRIEFING10_JUNE2008.pdf . A supporting topic is in this group's Forum. +++++ 2008/WINTER: Prior to developing and deploying a global health knowledge utility (for providing health (care) related knowledge, especially to deprived stakeholders). Clarifying note: enterprise architecture answers questions (Why? When? Who? Where? How? and What?) for stakeholders (users, owners, planners, designers, builders, sub-contractors). Health care system performance, health worker capacity, access to health knowledge, improved decision and policy making process and better health outcomes for patients are among the areas where ICT-based solutions promise to deliver results (WHO, 2007). Development and transition under a "Global Health Enterprise Architecture" is indispensable in order for all health-stakeholders to maximize value (health outcomes) and mitigate risks (health and livelihood erosion). The target services of a health knowledge utility include evidence/benchmarking/assessment enhanced medical guideline services (approved by national and international Public Health institutions) over heterogeneous device networks, such that action and reporting by (para-) medical practitioners (and patients) are guided, generated (workflow reflecting the means in the clinical theatre) or aggregated (reporting). Enterprise architecture helps stakeholders to align change interventions in data and knowledge intensive work processes. An increasingly explicit and common resource base to guide and align ICT-enabled change interventions in health care is emerging. Alongside medical online resources such as provided by NIH, PubMed, HINARI (WHO), and local health knowledge not captured or accessible through formal methods, the resource base includes public sector architectural frameworks, including the Federal Enterprise Architectural Framework of the US Government (FEAF; http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/egov/a-1-fea.html ), the industry driven Integrated Health Enterprise (IHE; http://www.ihe.net/ ) and the UK cross government enterprise architecture and its application in the health care sector(Grewal, 2007). Future clinical practice (bed-side, home or community care, telemedicine, electronic health record (EHR), health management information system (HMIS)...) will be delivered in myriad socio-technical settings (community, hospital, homes, telekiosk, the research lab,...), and it will involve medical knowledge and health data provided via service "carpets" on heterogeneous device networks (computer networks, PDAs, mobile phone - e.g. android-enabled, Laptops..).

RFID deployment
This group brings together research publications that are pertinent to the landscape-wide deployment of rfid technology in logistic and service systems. Focus is on: (i) computation independent models for business operations and business intelligence; (ii) the articulation of reusable landscape models (e.g., incorporating regulations) and industry models (sector models, incorporating industry reference models); (iii) techniques and tools for refining and configuring the computation independent models to meet company-specific logistics and service requirements. Recommended tags: (A) LEVEL: Macro/Meso/Micro/Pico (from Multi-level perspective (see Geels & Schot, 2007) extended: macro (landscape); meso (industry/regime/sector); micro (firm, organization); pico (person, product/resource individual). (B) Activity Realm: Diagnostic (paper is concerned with Why?: what problem, opportunity or directive justifies the rfid deployment? ) ; Therapeutic (How must rfid be deployed in the socio-technical system of interest, i.e. the firm, the industry, the plant?) (C) Industry: use one of the industry (sector) names listed by the World Economic Forum on http://www.weforum.org/en/knowledge/Industries/index.htm (D) Models: Textual, ValueRisk, OperationsModel, RequirementsModel

Method_Engineering_Services
This library will list literature on the architecture description and realization of a Method Engineering Service Environment. A roadmap for a global transition builds upon the enactment and diffusion of this environment. The aimed-for global transition is from a society where most ICT systems operate as islands of automation, to one in which these systems are interoperable. For all members of society, i.e. citizens, firms and public authorities, this interoperability will vastly increase the value construction and risk-reduction that can be achieved with the support of ICT. For background, see: http://interop-vlab.eu/ei_public_deliverables/interop-noe-deliverables/tg6-methods-requirements-and-method-engineering-for-interoperability/

e-maintenance
Web and wireless enabled information systems are becoming the backbone of the knowledge society, they are contributing to the creation of value and the mitigation of risks in any collaborative endeavour. For complex electromechanical and software-intensive equipment, the transition to e-maintenance involves original equipment manufacturers, the owners and operators of industrial facilities, and their service providers. Narrowly scoped technological and intra-organisational approaches fail to overcome the slow deployment of ICT in maintenance and repair processes. This group collects references to publications that are relevant to a broad-based transition to e-maintenance.
