Artificial intelligence, machine learning, natural language
processing, robotics, big data and other new technologies are ready
to revolutionize the way we look at healthcare. But if we want them
to achieve their full potential, we'll need leaders who understand
these new tools and who have long-term strategies in place to take
advantage of them. This book will help you to become one of those
leaders. Predictive Medicine makes artificial intelligence more
accessible for healthcare practitioners without shying away from
complex topics and controversial subject matter. It's a
call-to-action for a new generation of health leaders and a roadmap
to help them usher in a brighter future.
When people need healthcare, few worry about being harmed by
someone from the medical team making a mistake. Unfortunately,
mistakes do happen, and many of the adverse events are not only
serious but also preventable. Many countries struggle with
top-heavy systems, in which decisions are made about how care is
provided by those who are far from experienced in caring for
patients. This must change. Professionals at the sharp end need
support, structure, and help organizing necessary information to
create a safe culture, a learning environment, and safe patient
care-all at lower costs. This handbook provides tools for designing
a structure for a management system, as well as the tools for
documenting processes within it. The starting point is based on
current safety research. The book is designed for medical
professionals, managers, project members, politicians, public
officials, and executives-all who work with patient safety matters.
The content shows a new way to healthcare management, presenting an
alternative approach together with concrete advice on how
healthcare executives and practitioners can begin to think and act
differently in order to provide safe healthcare.
Artificial Intelligence for Security explores terminologies of
security and how AI can be applied to automate security processes.
Additionally, the text provides detailed explanations and
recommendations for how implement procedures. Practical examples
and real-time use cases are evaluated and suggest appropriate
algorithms based on the author's experiences. Threat and associated
securities from the data, process, people, things (e.g., Internet
of things), systems, and actions were used to develop security
knowledge base, which will help readers to build their own
knowledge base. This book will help the readers to start their AI
journey on security and how data can be applied to drive business
actions to build secure environment.
Artificial Intelligence for Risk Management is about using AI to
manage risk in the corporate environment. The content of this work
focuses on concepts, principles, and practical applications that
are relevant to the corporate and technology environments. The
authors introduce AI and discuss the different types, capabilities,
and purposes-including challenges. With AI also comes risk. This
book defines risk, provides examples, and includes information on
the risk-management process. Having a solid knowledge base for an
AI project is key and this book will help readers define the
knowledge base needed for an AI project by developing and
identifying objectives of the risk-knowledge base and knowledge
acquisition for risk. This book will help you become a contributor
on an AI team and learn how to tell a compelling story with AI to
drive business action on risk.
This book bridges the gap between the accounting and the actuarial
sides of Indian life insurance companies, by exploring the
relationships between the embedded value calculated by actuaries
and the revenue account and balance sheet prepared by the
accountants. The author provides publicly available sources of
information to place a value on the shares of Indian life insurance
companies from an outsider's point of view. Life insurance company
accounts are complex and require knowledge of specific concepts in
order to analyze and appreciate them. This book will help a
layperson with reasonable numerical abilities understand the
calculation of the share price of a life insurance company. In
particular, it will help analysts and accountants with no actuarial
background understand the concepts of embedded and appraisal value.
Cash flow statements of these companies are often ignored and
delegated to the background or usually to a single page in their
annual reports. This book examines the cash flows in detail and
rearranges them to get a better picture of the financial health of
the underlying companies. It also explains the relationship between
the different measures of profit such as cash reserves, surplus,
profit after tax, and embedded value. Often this information is
only available internally or to consultants. The author uses
alternative approaches based purely on public disclosures by these
companies, thereby enabling professionals without access to
internal information to come to informed judgments about the actual
performance of the companies.
If you think risk management is a bit of meaningless
management-speak, this is the book for you. The world is full of
risks and they all need managing. In fact, we all manage risks all
the time whether well or badly. Every decision we make involves
making some assessment of the risks involved. Risk management is
simply an attempt at doing it more explicitly, scientifically and,
hopefully, effectively. In this book, readers will learn more about
the whys and hows of risk management, and examples of how not to do
it. I have tried to explain it in everyday language and show how it
can be applied in a small business to your advantage.
This policy note provides an initial assessment of Libya's labor
market and discusses policy options for promoting employability as
part of a broader jobs strategy. It is intended as a contribution
to evidence on Libya?s labor market for the benefit of policy
makers, civil society and the broader international community.
Risk management has become a key factor of successful
organizations. Despite risk management's importance, outdated and
inappropriate ideas about how to manage risk dominate. This book
challenges existing paradigms of risk management and provides
readers with new concepts and tools for the current dynamic risk
management environment. The framework for the book is a series of
questions that allows for an interesting and thought-provoking look
at current ideas and forward-looking concepts. This book, intended
for senior managers, directors, risk managers, students of risk
management, and all others who need to be concerned about risk
management and strategy, provides a solid base for not only
understanding current best practice in risk management, but also
the conceptual tools for exploiting emerging risk management
technologies, metrics, regulations, and ideas. The central thesis
is that risk management is a value-adding activity that all types
of organizations, public, private as well as not-for-profit, can
use for competitive advantage and maximum effectiveness.
