This book was released on 2011-11-16 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diagnosis Related Group (DRG) systems were introduced in Europe to increase the transparency of services provided by hospitals and to incentivise greater efficiency in the use of resources invested in acute hospitals. In many countries, these systems were also designed to contribute to improving – or at least protecting – the quality of care. After more than a decade of experience with using DRGs in Europe, this book considers whether the extensive use of DRGs has contributed towards achieving these objectives. Written by authors with extensive experience of these systems, this book is a product of the EuroDRG project and constitutes an important resource for health policy-makers and researchers from Europe and beyond. The book is intended to contribute to the emergence of a ‘common language’ that will facilitate communication between researchers and policy-makers interested in improving the functioning and resourcing of the acute hospital sector. The book includes: A clearly structured introduction to the main ‘building blocks’ of DRG systems An overview of key issues related to DRGs including their impact on efficiency, quality, unintended effects and technological innovation in health care 12 country chapters - Austria, England, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain and Sweden Clearly structured and detailed information about the most important DRG system characteristics in each of these countries Useful insights for countries and regions in Europe and beyond interested in introducing, extending and/ or optimising DRG systems within the hospital sector

Book excerpt: Esta obra nasceu do trabalho de conclusão do curso de Especialização em Educação a Distância da Universidade do Estado da Bahia, tem como objetivo verificar como a literatura traça o Ensino de Língua Portuguesa pautando nas Tecnologias da Comunicação e da Informação, buscando assim identificar como os aparatos legais vislumbram o Ensino de Língua Portuguesa com base nos recursos tecnológicos. O presente estudo atendeu aos métodos do estudo bibliográfico foi referenciado pelos seguintes instrumentos legislativos: LDB 9.394 (Lei de Diretrizes de Base) e os PCNs (Parâmetro Curricular Nacional da Língua Portuguesa), além de autores que abordam sobre as TICs a exemplo de Pretto (1984), Moran (2000) e Lemos (2002). As temáticas abordadas nesta monografia versam sobre Tecnologia e Educação; O Professor e atualização tecnológica; A relevância da Formação Continuada para os Educadores; O Ensino de Língua Portuguesa e a Legislação. As Tecnologias da Comunicação e Informação e o Ensino de Língua Portuguesa. No intuito de expandir os recursos tecnológicos no setor educativo devido à emergência de uma mudança social, aflora alguns equívocos mediante a sua utilização que às vezes vem atuando como monopólio governamental, senão como entretenimento. Portanto espera-se que práticas educacionais busquem superar os transtornos quanto o manuseio dos equipamentos tecnológicos e possibilitar uma educação voltada para a formação do ser humano preparando-o para viver em uma sociedade que vive em constantes transformações, e que não desconheça a realidade de todos os que estão inseridos no seu contexto social e histórico.
