[4-years experience with quality control of decentralized reflectometry blood glucose measurement in the Vienna-Lainz hospital].

Since 1987 a quality control programme for ward-based blood glucose assays has been established in Lainz Hospital, Vienna. In 1991 following a decision to standardise the type of reflectometer used in the ward, 62 Reflolux IIS reflectance meters (Boehringer Mannheim) were assessed in a quality control consisting of 4 ring trials a year (blood glucose determination in two "unknown" samples) and in daily measurements of control solutions of known glucose concentrations. Experience with this quality control procedure is reported in this presentation of the relevant results of the ring trials. The most frequent errors in performing the test are discussed and the importance of instructing and training the nursing staff in the proper use and maintenance of the meters is pointed out.

[Centralization versus decentralization. Hematology].

Clinical haematology is the result of teamwork among dedicated specialists in pathology, molecular diagnostics, imaging, radiotherapy and the haematologist, who in turn can focus on only a limited fraction of the various and highly complex diseases that together constitute clinical haematology. The treatment of patients should be centralized in departments large enough to permit internal subspecialization and to provide expert service focused on haematology. No more than three such hematology centers are needed in Denmark.

Lowering the barrier to a decentralized NHIN using the open healthcare framework.

In this paper, we discuss two important elements to lowering the barrier to creation of a National Health Information Network. The first element is the adoption of standards that will enable interoperability while guarantee open interfaces (and preventing vendor lock-in). The second element is the role of open source. While adoption of open standards by large EMR vendors is critically important to enterprise healthcare providers and payors, the availability of inexpensive (or free) standardized Healthcare Information Technology for small physician practices is critical. By analogy to the emergence of the World Wide Web, a framework for creating inexpensive and open source applications for physicians will be as important to realizing a National Health Information Network as availability of free browser technology was to the growth of the internet.

Decentralizing health services in Australia.

During the past 15 years the district health services in some parts of Australia have been reorganized, with the development of coordinated programmes that provide services across hospital and community boundaries as well as continuity of care over prolonged periods. Some financial resources have been redirected from institutions to community-based services. The process has been so successful that district reorganization has now been implemented throughout New South Wales (population, 5.5 million) and elsewhere in Australia.
