The Effect of Information Technology on the Recruitment Process in Healthcare Organization in Makkah City | Chapter 14 | Current Trends in Disease and Health Vol. 3


As technology advances in recruitment and selection, it provides job seekers with more options for finding a career in the healthcare industry. At the same time, it helps organizations to streamline the hiring process. Internet job sites like CareerBuilder, Monster and Hot Jobs allow job seekers to post resumes which employers can view online and select qualified candidates. In addition, online candidate-tracking systems are helpful to employers. Social media forums like Facebook and LinkedIn are useful sources when selecting proper candidates for the healthcare industry. This research set aims to analyse the role of information technology in the healthcare recruitment process. The literature review demonstrates the impact of IT on the recruitment process in the healthcare sector. Literature from different secondary sources, such as books and journals, are discussed in this research. The methodology applied in this research takes a descriptive analytical and deductive approach. In the data collection and analysis part, the data were collected from 130 human-resource employees from different healthcare organizations in Makkah city. A quantitative data analysis method has been followed in order to analyse the raw data obtained in the survey. This helps to get appropriate outcome for the research by fulfilling its research aims and objectives. The outcome results from this study were as follows: First, that using information technology will be very useful in the recruitment process, because it will provide a better outcome than traditional methods. Second, there will be improvement in the quality of recruitment when using information technology in the recruitment process. Third, there will be a small improvement in communication when IT is used in the recruitment process rather than traditional methods. Finally, using IT in the recruitment process will be much more effective than the traditional way. The recommendations made from this study are the following: As outcome is one of the major components in the healthcare industry recruitment system, the applications for providing care must not vary between institutions. In order to improve quality in the healthcare recruitment process, it is necessary to apply IT in the proper way. For instance, those applications that have security issues and may lead to data leakage of candidates must be avoided. Using social media could be useful in enhancing communication in the healthcare recruitment process. The government has an important role to play in setting up standards for organizations. In turn, following these standards could be helpful in guaranteeing the effectiveness of the system.

A Prospective Study about Safety and Efficacy of Perioperative Lidocaine Infusion | Chapter 09 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 8

 Opioids cause clinically significant side effects such as respiratory depression, immunosuppression, muscle rigidity, negative inotropism, nausea, vomiting, hyperalgesia, urine retention, postoperative ileus, and drowsiness. Perioperative opioids are a major contributor to the United States' and other countries' opioid epidemics. Non-opioid analgesics, particularly lidocaine, are becoming more common for perioperative use as a result of this. A total of 185 adult patients were randomly assigned to one of two groups: control group I (105 patients) [fentanyl group] or group ii (80 patients) [opioid-free anaesthesia group]. Lidocaine 1.5 mg/kg bolus followed by 1.5 mg/kg/h infusion intraoperatively, and 1.5-2 mg/kg/h infusion for 2-8 hours postoperatively were given to patients in both groups at anaesthetic induction. Intraoperatively, both groups received analgesic adjuvants such as diclofenac 75 mg, paracetamol 1 gm, and mgso4 30-50 mg/kg. If the mean arterial pressure (map)

A Brief Study of Middleware Technologies: Programming Applications and Management Systems | Chapter 15 | Novel Research Aspects in Mathematical and Computer Science Vol. 1

  Many platforms, services, applications, hardware, and operating systems are connected through the middleware layer. Because the middleware layer abstracts much low-level complexity and makes applications and software systems portable, it allows disparate systems to interface and function together in harmony. Middleware technologies enable software engineers to swiftly construct software systems and applications, allowing developers to focus on more important tasks. This chapter examines several types of middleware systems and discusses middleware capabilities, middleware operation, middleware's function in cloud-based systems, and the best middleware platforms to use. Middleware systems are widely utilised and can be found in practically any software system or application. Middleware programmes provide as a link between many sorts of systems and protocols. They serve as a mechanism for various systems. To successfully exchange information, it runs on a variety of operating system

Ethnopharmacological Survey among Traditional Medicine Practitioners in Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire) for the Management of Pathologies such as Malaria, ENT Diseases, Diarrhea, Typhoid Fever and Anemia | Chapter 05 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 8

 Traditional Medicine Practitioners (TMPs) of Côte d'Ivoire are familiar with the therapeutic herbs. Medicinal plants have been shown to be useful in the treatment of common diseases such as malaria (KROA, 2004) and diabetes (N'GUESSAN et al, 2013) in several studies and scientific study. In the Abidjan District, the current policy is to integrate traditional medicine and pharmacopoeia into the national health system in order to improve population health coverage, particularly in the management of commonly encountered diseases such as malaria, ENT diseases, diarrhoea, typhoid fever, and anaemia. This research aims to increase the use of traditional medicine and pharmacopoeia in the national health system. Over the course of three months, fifty (50) PMTs in the District of Abidjan participated in this study. Plant therapists accounted for 30 of the 50 PMTs polled at the end of the study, or 60%. Traditional medicine centres use 61 types of medicinal plants from 36 famili
