TLDR
It is suggested that the application of the proposed networkcentric doctrine is arguably the best chance of changing the way healthcare is accessed, provided and managed both nationally and across the globe.Abstract:
Worldwide costs and the disparity between healthcare in the Western world and the developing countries increase exponentially. Increased involvement of ICT allows, in similarity to the military, a transition from platformcentric to more cohesive and collaborative networkcentric operations. In the information-intensive environment of healthcare, the networkcentric approach allows free and rapid sharing of information and effective knowledge building required for the development of coherent objectives and their rapid attainment. We suggest that the application of the proposed networkcentric doctrine is arguably the best chance of changing the way healthcare is accessed, provided and managed both nationally and across the globe.read more

'All hazards approach' to disaster management: the role of information and knowledge management, Boyd's OODA Loop, and network-centricity.
TL;DR: This paper demonstrates that the integration of modified information and knowledge management into the concepts of network-centric operations and network-enabled capabilities, and the employment of Boyd's OODA (Observe, Orient, Decide, and Act) Loop-based decision-making in unpredictable and dynamically changing environments, may address some of these problems.

Mobile technology and healthcare: the adoption issues and systemic problems
Susan Standing,Craig Standing +1 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that fundamental systemic issues are likely to be the main barriers to adoption of mobile technology in the healthcare sector and researchers can only gain a limited understanding of a technology's potential success by using technology adoption frameworks.

Level of automation effects on performance, situation awareness and workload in a dynamic control task
Mica R. Endsley,David B. Kaber +1 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that, in terms of performance, human operators benefit most from automation of the implementation portion of the task, but only under normal operating conditions; in contrast, removal of the operator from task implementation is detrimental to performance recovery if the automated system fails.
