The relative performance of a healthcare organization's accounts receivable (AR) department is a critical factor affecting an organization's financial well-being. Park Nicollet Medical Center (PNMC), Minneapolis, Minnesota, changed the way it measured its AR department's performance, switching from the rolling averages method of performance measurement to the percentage collected method of performance measurement, and was able to improve its patient accounts management effort.

In an era where digital technology is reshaping business landscapes, understanding the factors that drive corporate digital transformation is essential. In this paper we explore these influencing factors, focusing on Chinese A-share listed companies from 2007 to 2021. Our approach involved a comprehensive analysis of multiple variables through regression techniques to determine their impact on digital transformation.

Background: Health care data breaches are the most rapidly increasing type of cybercrime; however, the predictors of health care data breaches are uncertain.
Objective: This quantitative study aims to develop a predictive model to explain the number of hospital data breaches at the county level.
Methods: This study evaluated data consolidated at the county level from 1032 short-term acute care hospitals.

Maintaining financial stability is important for leaders in surgery because it (1) allows consistent, fair (market value) reimbursement for employees, which conveys that they are valued; (2) enables strategic investment in new programs that may not generate direct financial gains but are required; and (3) builds trust with stakeholders outside the department while strengthening the department's position in negotiations. Key strategies that we have used to increase revenue (income) over the past 6 years have been hiring more faculty, advocating for greater operating room and staffing capacity, staffing surgeons at other institutions using affiliation agreements, attempting to shift grant-funded efforts to non-clinical (research) faculty to mitigate National Institutes of Health salary cap penalties, and increasing efforts to identify external funding for educational and administrative tasks performed by surgeons (eg, increasing contact hours with medical students to secure a greater proportion of state general revenue). Using these strategies, our total revenue has increased 66% over the past 6 years, whereas Academic Support Agreement funds from the College of Medicine concurrently have decreased by 75%.

Recently, up-conversion luminescent (UCL) materials have caught extensive sight on account of their excellent biocompatibility and weak automatic fluorescence background, but the low optical signal makes researchers shy away. Organic dye-sensitized UCL materials can improve the low optical signal drawback of UCL and rejuvenate it with adjustable optical properties and unique antenna effects. In this work, an efficient, simple and selective electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensing platform was developed for determination of enrofloxacin (ENR).
