Medical practice and research are inconceivable today without electronic computing and communication tools. Digital machines do many tasks orders-of-magnitude better, faster and more accurately than humans.Still, there are functions critical to the healthcare endeavor that people do much better than machines, things like: understanding and using natural language; perceiving what is unexpressed; taking into account values, culture, ethics, and human relationships; touching and healing. For the foreseeable future, the "smartest" computers will be no match for human beings when it comes to performing these most anthropic functions.American healthcare is at a critical juncture. Providers and patients are increasingly frustrated by degradation of the human relationships that lie at the core of the medical practice. Technologies, such as the computerized medical record, get much of the blame for intrusion into the patient-provider relationship. However, it is not technology itself that is to blame. The fault lies with how systems are conceived, designed, and deployed.This book analyzes how to organize the work of healthcare in a way that uses machines to do what they do best, thereby freeing humans to do what we do best. Smart use of electronic technology is crucial to the success of any bid to fulfill the Institute for Healthcare Improvement’s triple aim to make healthcare more effective, efficient, and humane.

Dieses Lehrbuch führt kompakt in das Gebiet der Umweltökonomie ein. Es beleuchtet ökologische und ökonomische Sichtweisen zu Umweltproblemen und erörtert daraus abgeleitete Prinzipien der Umweltökonomie. Ökonomische Instrumente staatlicher Umweltpolitik werden übersichtlich und klar verständlich erklärt. In abgegrenzten Lerneinheiten beleuchtet das Buch den Anwendungsbereich Klimaschutzpolitik sowie die staatliche Förderung von „grünem Wachstum“, wodurch ein Bogen von der umweltökonomischen Theorie zur politischen Praxis geschlagen wird. Kurze Lerneinheiten, versehen mit Verweisen auf praktische Anwendungsfälle und begleitende Lernkontrollen, erleichtern eine Einarbeitung in das Thema sowie eine schnelle und fundierte Wissensvermittlung.
