The fact that the IEEE 802.15.4MAC does not fully satisfy the strict wireless body sensor network (BSN) requirements in healthcare systems highlights the need for the design and analysis of new scalable MAC solutions, which guarantee low power consumption to all specific sorts of body sensors and traffic loads. While taking the challenging healthcare requirements into account, this paper aims f...

The design of healthcare structures is a complex and constantly evolving issue due to the need for addressing various interrelated functions. Today, user involvement in phase considered be one main pillars successful design. However, structures, efforts toward this end are often hampered by identifying requirements multiple groups setting priorities between different these groups. Recently, eff...

In recent years, healthcare organizations have actively implemented modern approaches to the management of quality adapted from industrial practice.'-5 Most of these efforts to improve quality have focused on incremental improvement of existing processes, or on the measurement and control of quality relative to standards. Relatively less effort has been put into the fundamental redesign of the ...
