Changing from paper-based systems to digital mechanisms means that personal information becomes more easily accessible and more difficult to control and secure. When the paper-based practice is in a sector such as healthcare, concerns for patient privacy protection are great. In paper-based prescribing in the United Kingdom’s National Health Service (NHS), patients are responsible for protectin...

The current verbal patient transfer between nurses and paramedics lacks communication, which leads to loss of information. During this operation, handwritten protocols are used to document the patient’s personal data and the treatment given at several intervals. In order to encourage teamwork between the two parties (i.e. nurses and paramedics), the challenge is to present the patient informati...

Rapid preparation of the trauma patient for early transfer is crucial for optimal outcome. Working together with the staff of the receiving trauma center will ensure that a consistent treatment approach is given to all injured patients.

We carry out a careful study of operator algebras associated with Delone dynamical systems. A von Neumann algebra is defined using noncommutative integration theory. Features of these algebras and the operators they contain are discussed. We restrict our attention to a certain C∗-subalgebra to discuss a Shubin trace formula. 1,2 Fakultät für Mathematik, Technische Universität Chemnitz, D-09107 ...
