Understanding the Bioinformatics Challenges of Integrating Genomics into Healthcare.

Genomic data is paving the way towards personalized healthcare. By unveiling genetic disease-contributing factors, genomic data can aid in the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of a wide range of complex diseases. Integrating genomic data into healthcare is riddled with a wide range of challenges spanning social, ethical, legal, educational, economic, and technical aspects.

An ontological model of the practice transformation process.

Patient-centered medical home is defined as an approach for providing comprehensive primary care that facilitates partnerships between individual patients and their personal providers. The current state of the practice transformation process is ad hoc and no methodological basis exists for transforming a practice into a patient-centered medical home. Practices and hospitals somehow accomplish the transformation and send the transformation information to a certification agency, such as the National Committee for Quality Assurance, completely ignoring the development and maintenance of the processes that keep the medical home concept alive.

Role Stress, Job Anxiety, Job Involvement, and Job Satisfaction Among Three Groups of Organizational Employees: A Factor Analytic Study.

This study is an attempt to compare organizational role stress, job involvement, job anxiety, and job satisfaction among three groups of employees in a private sector organization. The sample consisted of 50 top managers, 50 middle managers, and 50 workers. The Organizational Role Stress developed by Pareek (1983), the Job Involvement scale by Lodhal and Kejner (1965), the Job Anxiety scale by Srivastava and Sinha (1977), and the Job Descriptive Index developed by Smith, Yulin, and Kendall (1969) were administered to all three groups of employees.
