With the objectives including the reduction of the whole life costs, increasing construction and operation efficiencies and enhancing service quality, Public-Private Partnership (PPP) schemes have been used for healthcare projects across the world over the past two decades. These large-scale projects comprise a long-term partnership period between the public and private sector stakeholders, with a great deal of costs, risks and opportunities. Considering the large number of the parties involved and the inherent public interest, the vital importance of proper project planning and delivery in accordance with the project objectives becomes prominent. The major aim of this study was to construct a PPP healthcare project success model considering the interrelations between the success factors and integrate it with a decision support system that provides guidance to construction companies for performance assessment and improvement during the planning and execution phases of the PPP healthcare projects undertaken. At the outset, preliminary interviews were conducted with construction industry practitioners in conjunction with a literature survey to set forth the problem definition for the study. Subsequently, by means of a thorough review of the relevant literature, a conceptual framework was proposed addressing the success of PPP healthcare projects and semi-structured interviews were carried out with experts from the private sector. In light of the findings, the proposed framework was revised and used as a base for the development of the PPP healthcare project success model using the Analytic Network Process (ANP). A discussion session was held with the participation of five project executives for the construction of the model, through which, the relative importance of the elements and components, and the magnitude of the interrelationships inherent in the model were assessed based on the experts’ collective judgment. The ANP model was tested on two real cases during the session, which yielded favorable results. Finally, a web-based decision support system was developed, which performs project performance assessment based on the built-in success model, presents various reports on the assessment and assists in performance improvement. The system was tested and validated on five real projects, and as to the judgment of the experts, the overall performance of the system was regarded as satisfactory. As far as the potential contribution of the system’s functions to project processes were considered, guidance with the inherent network of success factors, proposal of performance improvement strategies and generation of alternative project scenarios were pointed out at the first place. The revealed results were discussed, together with the recommendations for the further improvement of the proposed system.

A Comprehensive model for measuring health care process quality: health care process quality measurement model (HPQMM)
Yıldız, Özkan; Demirörs, Onur; Department of Medical Informatics (2012)
Similar to the manufacturing sector, process improvement gains much attention in health care sector. Measuring process quality is one of the most important components of process improvement and numerous healthcare quality indicator models are developed to achieve this aim. Existing quality models focus on some specific diseases, clinics or clinical areas. Although they contain structure, process, or output type measures, there is no model which measures the quality of health care processes comprehensively. ...
A new ontology and knowledge base system for performance measurement in health care
Beyan, Oya Deniz; Baykal, Nazife; Department of Health Informatics (2010)
Performance measurement makes up the core of all health care systems in transition. Many countries and institutions monitor different aspects of health care delivery systems for differing purposes. Health care deliverers are compared, rated, and given incentives with respect to their measured performance. However, a global health care domain is currently striving for attaining commonly accepted performance measurement models and base-standards that can be used in information systems. The objective of this t...
Design evolution of healthcare buildings: city hospitals as a new building typology in Turkey
Nevrim, Selin; Güzer, Celal Abdi; Department of Architecture (2020)
After the year 2014, a new and alternative model of healthcare services had been introduced to reorganize the contribution of the private sector on healthcare investments in Turkey. The essence of this new model was creating healthcare centers established in various provinces under the title of the "city hospital". City Hospitals have radical differences when compared with traditional health care buildings. Furthermore, how the projects have been achieved and the investment model have not previously been im...
Providing Interoperability of eHealth Communities Through Peer-to-Peer Networks
Kılıç, Özgün Ozan; Eichelberg, Marco (2010-05-01)
Providing an interoperability infrastructure for Electronic Healthcare Records (EHRs) is on the agenda of many national and regional eHealth initiatives. Two important integration profiles have been specified for this purpose, namely, the "Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) Cross-enterprise Document Sharing (XDS)" and the "IHE Cross Community Access (XCA)." IHE XDS describes how to share EHRs in a community of healthcare enterprises and IHE XCA describes how EHRs are shared across communities. Howe...
Improving resource efficiency in surface coating/painting industry: practical experiences from a small-sized enterprise
Alkaya, Emrah; Demirer, Göksel Niyazi (2014-12-01)
The European Commission has an objective of improved resource efficiency in manufacturing enterprises (particularly small- and medium-sized enterprises-SMEs) by structural and technological changes. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the concrete improvements as a result of a systematic resource efficiency methodology applied to an SME in surface coating/painting industry in Turkey which is an EU accession country. Within the context of this study, cadmium plating process was substituted with a less t...
