“…Nevertheless, more quantitative methods [or analysing and managing complex systems are essential if we are to make even a beginning in providing health-care technology to the whole popUlation. Our obsession with reduc-tionism has led us to ignore the very real value of a systems-oriented approach [33]. Most concepts and techniques of assessment deal with tangible factors which are barely able to take into account the essence of the characteristics of health-care and medical technologies.…”

Abstract:Computer-based technologies such as information systems and expert systems have an undoubted contribution to health-care development in developing countries. This paper addresses the appropriateness of these technologies for developing countries, the criteria to be used in selection of the technology to be transferred, and the need for a systematic approach to evaluation. A conceptual model for assessing transferability so as to achieve an effective transfer, has been introduced. This requires not only an attempt to amplify the role of information and expert systems in health-care improvement and for socio-economic development, but the analysis of prior experience in transferring these technologies to developing countries. Following this approach, and using operational research techniques such as the Analytic Hierarchy Process, a subjective assessment model has been described that can systematically guide decision-making about computer-based health-care technology to be transferred to developing countries.

The quality of life and economic development of economies and their regions is influenced by socio-economic indicators such as unemployment, healthcare and education, environmental issues or household equipment. The question remains whether these indicators within regions can also influence each other and whether they have positive or negative effects. The paper aims to describe the impact of the selected socioeconomic indicators on health personnel, which was also divided from the gender perspective. For this purpose, the regions of the Visegrad Group Plus countries at NUTS II level were selected. The research was performed in the period from 2004 to 2013. According to our results based on the Generalized Method of Moments with panel data, we found out that a change in household income and a change in the number of vehicles in the monitored regions have the greatest (positive) impact on staff in hospitals. The research may contribute to the discussion about levels of regional economic development and the related competitiveness in terms of the socio-economic approach, and it may also provide a basis for further discussion on its measurement and use of appropriate indicators.
