Collaborative communication

Although the lower limit of quantitation is established during assay validation and prior to microdosing, assay sensitivity remains an uncertainty until the actual analysis of the microdose samples as well. There is always the danger that plasma exposures from the microdose are lower than predicted and as a result plasma concentrations from some or all of the time points cannot be detected by the LC-MS/MS method. Reduction of this risk is achieved by collaborative communication between the bioanalytical chemist and the project team. Conservative estimates on bioavailability and clearance can be used to establish the necessary limit of detection needed to determine plasma concentrations for all time points. Updates on the progress of the assay development allow the team to decide if the achievable limit of detection will enable the determination of plasma concentrations from enough time points to make a go-no go decision. Of course, sensitivity is not an issue with AMS, which practically ensures that plasma concentrations will be determined, possibly for several days, enabling the observation of complex PK and clearance from deep compartments. 

The larger the gap between people s cognitive styles, the harder it will be to collaborate, communicate, and solve problems. 

Models for processes, products, collaboration/communication, subprocess interaction, subproduct integration etc. occur on every of these four layers and have to be mapped onto the next layer. So, we find the same basic notions on every layer. Let us explain this by taking the notion of a process as example On level 1 we speak of work processes of designers, containing subprocesses, which again contain process steps. On level 2 we speak of support of an essential step by a complex command of a tool, if the process is interactive, or of an...

Some firms are using Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) software to aid their collaborative communication. This is a trend that is just starting, but it may develop into a set of methods by which supply chain partners could have joint sales forecasts and/or production plans in which a revision by one partner would be immediately transmitted to the next partner. 

An example of a clinical microsystem in an open-heart surgery unit would be a group that includes cardiologists, surgeons, nurses, pharmacists, therapists, nutritionists, social workers, and others who routinely interact to care for heart patients. The fol-lowing steps, known as the Collaborative Communications Cycle, developed in consultation with a human factors expert, are repeated each day for each patient ... 

Team members report that the Collaborative Communications Cycle is a significant cultural shift. It requires a physician champion and buy in from all disciplines. It also requires perseverance, in addition to trust among team members. Each patient takes an average of ten minutes (simpler cases take as little as five minutes, and more complex patients as much as twenty minutes), but the rounds save time throughout the day as rework is minimized. 

The Concord Collaborative Care Model has produced measurable improvements in morbidity and mortality. Cardiac staff members who participated in a survey on quality of work life reported that the Collaborative Communications Cycle consistently helped them make better therapeutic decisions. According to staff members, a key motivator has been the reactions of patients and family members. Patient satisfaction has increased as family members have reported feeling comforted and empowered by the process. 

Elise Kendall, a pharmacist, states that patients are "better informed, more reassured, and they have less anxiety." She believes that the Collaborative Communications Cycle "empowers a patient to become more participatory."... 

A key feature of the simulation is that coordination—activity to satisfy dependencies—is explicitly analyzed. Coordination activity is real work and must be considered if realistic schedule and cost forecasts are to be generated. Many large complex global projects have 35-45 % of real work associated with collaboration/ communication. Simulation generated forecasts include the demands, feasibility, and value of coordination to overall performance. Risk due to coordination mis-allocation is exposed. 

The future of data curation lies in these technologies which are beginning to come together in these collaborative community-based data curation solutions. Very important also is to inform others about the importance of data sharing. It is very significant to help researchers and universities to understand how important it is to share data with others and how much more efficient research will be if we can have open access to each other s information. Also, we need to improve metadata awareness and training, making it mandatory to help others understand what metadata are and how they are used so that...

Third, in investigating lOS use to facilitate supply chain collaboration, prior studies focus on lOS enabled relationship-specific process integration between partners (Venkatraman and Zaheer 1990 Lee et al. 1997 Hart and Saunders 1998 Lambert et al. 2004 Saeed et al. 2005). Other roles of lOS, such as lOS use for communication to enhance supply chain partners collaborative communication and lOS use for intelligence to improve supply chain partners joint knowledge creation, have been largely unexplored in extant literature. 

The core construct of supply chain collaboration as co-creation of value consists of seven components information sharing, goal congruence, decision synchronization, incentive alignment, resources sharing, collaborative communication, and...
