    A pre-post test evaluation of the impact of the PELICAN MDT-TME Development Programme on the working lives of colorectal cancer team members

    Background: the PELICAN Multidisciplinary Team Total Mesorectal Excision (MDT-TME) Development Programme aimed to improve clinical outcomes for rectal cancer by educating colorectal cancer teams in precision surgery and related aspects of multidisciplinary care. The Programme reached almost all colorectal cancer teams across England. We took the opportunity to assess the impact of participating in this novel team-based Development Programme on the working lives of colorectal cancer team members.Methods: the impact of participating in the programme on team members' self-reported job stress, job satisfaction and team performance was assessed in a pre-post course study. 333/568 (59%) team members, from the 75 multidisciplinary teams who attended the final year of the Programme, completed questionnaires pre-course, and 6-8 weeks post-course.Results: across all team members, the main sources of job satisfaction related to working in multidisciplinary teams; whilst feeling overloaded was the main source of job stress. Surgeons and clinical nurse specialists reported higher levels of job satisfaction than team members who do not provide direct patient care, whilst MDT coordinators reported the lowest levels of job satisfaction and job stress. Both job stress and satisfaction decreased after participating in the Programme for all team members. There was a small improvement in team performance.Conclusions: participation in the Development Programme had a mixed impact on the working lives of team members in the immediate aftermath of attending. The decrease in team members' job stress may reflect the improved knowledge and skills conferred by the Programme. The decrease in job satisfaction may be the consequence of being unable to apply these skills immediately in clinical practice because of a lack of required infrastructure and/or equipment. In addition, whilst the Programme raised awareness of the challenges of teamworking, a greater focus on tackling these issues may have improved working lives furthe

    Selecting DEA specifications and ranking units via PCA

    DEA model selection is problematic. The estimated efficiency for any DMU depends on the inputs and outputs included in the model. It also depends on the number of outputs plus inputs. It is clearly important to select parsimonious specifications and to avoid as far as possible models that assign full high efficiency ratings to DMUs that operate in unusual ways (mavericks). A new method for model selection is proposed in this paper. Efficiencies are calculated for all possible DEA model specifications. The results are analysed using Principal Components Analysis. It is shown that model equivalence or dissimilarity can be easily assessed using this approach. The reasons why particular DMUs achieve a certain level of efficiency with a given model specification become clear. The methodology has the additional advantage of producing DMU rankings

    An approach to the measurement of intangible assets in dot com based on web metrics and financial information

    A sample of 76 firms that operate in the Internet is studied in order to explore forms of identifying and measuring intangible assets in this area of business. The firms meet three conditions: operate in the Internet, have available accounting information, and be quoted in the stock exchange. Data was obtained on two successive years for four web metrics indicators, 30 ratios that combine accounting and web traffic information, 31 accounting ratios, a measure of stock exchange performance, and a measure of efficiency based on Data Envelopment Analysis. Modelling relied on multivariate statistical approaches: Factor Analysis, Scaling techniques, multivariate regression, and hierarchical cluster analysis. Two intangible assets were identified: one was related to internal structure and was associated with managerial efficiency; and another one was associated with external image and customer loyalty. Comparison between the two years found many changes, confirming the view that this is a very dynamic sector, although the main conclusions remained unchanged

    Country and size effects in financial ratios: a European perspective

    No full text
    Harmonised aggregate financial statements are published by the European Commission in the BACH database. This information is organised by country, size of firm, and year. Financial ratios obtained from this database are analysed using multivariate statistical techniques in order to explore country and size effects. The data relates to three size groups, eleven countries, fourteen years, and fifteen financial ratios. It is found that financial ratios reflect the size of the firm, but that the way in which this is reflected varies between the different countries. It is also found that there are no significant size related differences in financial profitability, but that such differences appear when countries are compared. Important regularities are found over time. Some time effects are also found in the way countries react to the business cycle

    An approach to the measurement of intangible assets in public sector using scaling techniques

    No full text
    This paper discusses the identification and measurement of intangible assets in the public sector. A discussion of Intellectual Capital theory identifies and classifies a number of intangible assets of relevance to the Public Sector. Multidimensional Scaling and related multivariate techniques are proposed for their detection and quantification. The methodology is illustrated with a case study: the provision of council services through the Internet by Spanish municipalities. The technique identifies three intangible assets related to external structural capital: service, image and transparency. Five strategic groups reveal the different objectives, strategic use of Internet, and actions taken by the various Spanish councils
