Book Description

This book has been published as a direct response to the poor results indicated six years after the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 1994 came into force. The CDM concept spread responsibility across the whole chain of construction, demanding adequate resourcing and competent appointments. The output however has been poor. Accident rates have not fallen significantly and the cost of implementation of the regulations has been high. Throughout the book the authors demonstrate that the CDM regulations can be a tool for delivering real value in health and safety, improved operational output, and savings and measurable benefits for clients.

Book Description

The first edition of the Code of Practice for Project Management for Construction and Development, published in 1992, was groundbreaking in many ways. Now in its fifth edition, prepared by a multi-institute task force coordinated by the CIOB and including representatives from RICS, RIBA, ICE, APM and CIC, it continues to be the authoritative guide and reference to the principles and practice of project management in construction and development. Good project management in construction relies on balancing the key constraints of time, quality and cost in the context of building functionality and the requirements for sustainability within the built environment. Thoroughly updated and restructured to reflect the challenges that the industry faces today, this edition continues to drive forward the practice of construction project management. The principles of strategic planning, detailed programming and monitoring, resource allocation and effective risk management, widely used on projects of all sizes and complexity, are all fully covered. The integration of Building Information Modelling at each stage of the project life is a feature of this edition. In addition, the impact of trends and developments such as the internationalisation of construction projects and the drive for sustainability are discussed in context. Code of Practice will be of particular value to clients, project management professionals and students of construction, as well as to the wider construction and development industries. Much of the information will also be relevant to project management professionals operating in other commercial spheres.

Book Description

Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare promises to improve the accuracy of diagnosis and screening, support clinical care, and assist in various public health interventions such as disease surveillance, outbreak response, and health system management. But the increasing importance of AI in healthcare means that trustworthy AI is vital to achieve the beneficial impacts on health anticipated by both health professionals and patients. This book presents the proceedings of the 32nd Medical Informatics Europe Conference (MIE2022), organized by the European Federation for Medical Informatics (EFMI) and held from 27 - 30 May 2022 in Nice, France. The theme of the conference was Challenges of Trustable AI and Added-Value on Health. Over 400 submissions were received from 43 countries, and were reviewed in a thorough process by at least three reviewers before being assessed by an SPC co-chair, with papers requiring major revision undergoing further review. Included here are 147 full papers (acceptance rate 54%), 23 short papers and 79 posters from the conference. Topics covered include the usual sub-domains of biomedical informatics: decision support and clinical information systems; clinical research informatics; knowledge management and representation; consumer health informatics; natural language processing; public health informatics; and privacy, ethical and societal aspects, but also innovative approaches to the collection, such as organization and analysis of data and knowledge related to health and wellbeing, as well as theoretical and applied contributions to AI methods and algorithms. Providing an overview of the latest developments in medical informatics, the book will be of interest to all those involved in the development and provision of healthcare today.
