FREE BLOG HBI Awards 2018: Programme that minimises radiation doses for CT scans

CT scans, particularly in emergency settings, can generate high doses of radiation. Affidea has rolled out a programme across its 235 centres in 16 countries which prescribes levels for 72 different CT scans. This is based on its database of 75,000 examinations a month. This has led to Affidea creating 105 unified protocols to standardize operating procedures for CT scans. This program is key to Affidea’s strategy for winning international tenders.

FREE BLOG HBI Awards 2018: Optimising nursing workload and staff allocation

ISMETT is an organ transplant centre developed in partnership between the Region of Sicily, the Civico and Cervello Hospitals in Palermo and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. In 2013 it developed a Nursing Care Score system, built into the electronic health record to optimise nursing workload and staff allocation. The system takes 53 nursing work tasks and assigns them a score. This is then used to determine the nurse to patient ratio and the nurse’s tasks related to each patient. The outcomes have had a positive impact on nurse job satisfaction and the frequency of adverse events.

Unilabs: Culture and brand transformation

A year ago we spent an evening with Jos Lamers, the CEO of Unilabs. A company doctor, who specialises in turning companies around, Lamers changed 80% of the top 100 top managers at Unilabs within 18 months of arrival. He decidedly (and correctly) delegated responsibility for achieving ambitious targets down to national managers. Yet here was this ambitious, tough-talking CEO enthusiastically describing the value of 360 degree reviews, the need for senior managers to reveal their vulnerabilities and ways in which people can achieve personal and performance change within the workplace. Blending a pragmatic, turnaround mindset with an appreciation of the softer skills required for managing change as clearly worked. Unilabs has dramatically lowered churn, upped organic growth and halved recruitment costs. We talked to Samantha Laurent, Unilabs’ Chief People Officer to find out more.
