Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The computerization of health care is constantly advancing and, paradoxically, the greatest impetus for these changes has been caused  by the COVID-19 pandemic. Along with computerization of health processes, information on medical services requires a change in the analytical approach, compared to the time we collected information in analogue form. This is an opportunity in medical and health sciences that allows for a more accurate analysis of clinical, economic, and organizational trends. This special issue aims to show the impact of  data analytics and evaluation in health for improving the availability, safety, clinical and economic effectiveness of therapy and organizational systems in healthcare facilities. We are looking for thoughtful, high-quality manuscripts to show the possibility of analysis and inference from modern, extensive data sets and (if possible) for proposals and recommendations for new solutions for clinical, economic, and organizational areas. We want to present that only thorough knowledge of medical events allows for increasing the safety and clinical effectiveness of each therapy. All manuscripts will undergo a rigorous review process.

The expansion of digital technologies has significantly changed most economic activities and professions. Digital technologies penetrated managerial accounting and have a vast potential to transform this profession. Implementing emerging digital technologies, such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, the Internet of Things, big data, and cloud computing, can trigger a crucial leap forward, leading to a paradigm-shifting in healthcare organizations’ accounting management. The paper’s main objective is to investigate the perception of Romanian accountants on implementing digital technologies in healthcare organizations’ accounting management. The paper implies a study based on a questionnaire among Romanian accountants who use various digital technologies implemented in traditional and innovative cost accounting tools. Based on structural equation modeling, the results emphasize the prevalence of innovative tools over traditional cost accounting tools improved through digital transformation, digital technologies assuming the most complex and time-consuming tasks. Moreover, the influence of cost accounting tools improved through digital transformation on healthcare organizations’ performance is much more robust in the case of innovative tools than in the case of traditional cost accounting tools. The proposed model provides managers in healthcare organizations with information on the most effective methods in the context of digital transformation. Full article

Reliability, Validity and Responsiveness of the Polish Version of the Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI-PL) in Patients after Arthroscopic Repair for Shoulder Instability

Apart from imaging and physical examination for shoulder instability (SI), medical history with patient feedback should be considered to assess the patient’s condition and recovery. The aim of this study was to evaluate psychometric properties of the Polish version of Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI)—one of the most frequently used patient-reported outcome measures for SI. During examination 1, 74 patients after arthroscopic repair for SI (age x¯ = 30.01 ± 8.98) were tested. Examinations 2 and 3 involved 71 and 51 patients, respectively. They completed the Polish version of the WOSI, the shortened version of the Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder and Hand Questionnaire (QuickDASH), the Short Form-36 version 2.0 (SF-36 v. 2.0) and 7-point Global Rating Change scale (GRC). The WOSI-PL demonstrated high internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha for total = 0.94), and test–retest reliability (Total ICC2,1 = 0.99). High construct validity was found (89%) as the a priori hypotheses were confirmed. All domains and total scores of WOSI-PL showed a moderate to strong degree of responsiveness (ES = 0.37–0.44; SMR = 0.87–1.26). Minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for the Total WOSI-PL was 126.43 points/6% (95%CI 67.83–185.03) by the anchor-based method and 174.05 points/8% (95%CI 138.61–233.98) by the distribution-based method. The Polish version of the WOSI can be considered a reliable, valid and responsive PROM. It is recommended for assessing the quality of life in patients after arthroscopic repair for SI and can be applied in research and in the clinical setting for monitoring treatment and facilitating patient-centred therapeutic decisions.

Avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head is caused by disruption of the blood supply to the proximal femur. The alterations in the blood supply may occur following a traumatic event or result from a non-traumatic cause. Femoral neck fracture and hip dislocation and associated surgical procedures, corticosteroid therapy, and alcohol abuse frequently lead to AVN development. Type of fracture (displaced or undisplaced) and time between injury and surgery are the most critical factors in assessing the risk of developing AVN. Diagnosis of AVN can be established based on patients’ complaints, medical history, and radiographic findings. There is no consensus on the treatment of patients with AVN to date. Non-surgical methods are dedicated to patients in the early pre-collapse stages of the disease and consist of pharmacotherapy and physiotherapy. Surgery is recommended for patients with advanced disease. Full article
