1Efficiency is not about cutting budgets 1 Citation This is the third in a series of posts that have been inspired by the presentation given by Andrew Lansley MP (Shadow Minister for Health) at the Royal Society of Arts on the 28th May 2009. Efficiency, Effectiveness & Equity go hand in hand in healthcare. Whilst we will look at effectiveness and equity in later posts, the issue of efficiency is one to tackle today.

Improving the quality of a working environment 1 Citation Improving the quality of a working environment ?There is no place like home,? as what had Dorothy had said in the Wizard of Oz; truly, no one can replace home in our hearts but wouldn?t it be better to have a second home? You heard me right! Our workplace should be as cozy as our home. Contrary, not all work setting is as amiable as we imagine.

1 Citation This is the second in a series of posts that have been inspired by the presentation given by Andrew Lansley MP (Shadow Minister for Health) at the Royal Society of Arts on the 28th May 2009. It was quoted by Andrew that up to 100,000 lives could be saved each year if the UK reached the top of European healthcare league in terms of performance and outcomes.

1 Citation This is the first in a series of posts that have been inspired by the presentation given by Andrew Lansley MP (Shadow Minister for Health) at the Royal Society of Arts on the 28th May 2009.

Inserting more plants into a room through planting tiles , potted plants, or a living wall provides a healthier indoor air quality, as well as a mo, technorati.com

1 Citation Hi Ted- Thanks for taking the time to post the blog. I enjoyed the posts so far and hope to enjoy more. I have a particular sound issue that I hope you can help me with. I need to dampen the noise in a bar in New York City. The ceilings are 18? high, but the floors are wood and tile, the ceilings are tin, and the walls are mostly brick. The space itself if roughly 1200 sf; right now, if more than ten people are in the room, it sound like a big speaker. My idea thus far is to add panels?eit, technorati.com

1 Citation This article reprises the themes raised by my earlier post Deming?s inconvenient truth , and makes an attempt to draw some additional sense from the apparent paradox. For this article I have Hilary Burrage to offer some credit to, for posing a question on the LinkedIn forum that got some pennies dropping Let?s start the story at the beginning. Sometime in 2005 I was on my way back home on a Thai Air flight from Jakarta to Heathrow, via Bangkok. In Bangkok I was joined by a casually dresse, technorati.com
