In dieser Studie wird die Steuerung der Klassifikation therapeutischer Leistungen (KTL) als Qualitätssicherungsinstrument der DRV und die Internationale Klassifikation der Funktionsfähigkeit, Behinderung und Gesundheit (ICF) der WHO erarbeitet. Ein anwendungsorientiertes Konzept zur Steuerung der Klassifikationen wird über den theoretischen und den empirischen Teil dieser Arbeit entwickelt. Anhand von Experteninterviews wurden die empirischen Daten über einen halbstandardisierten Interviewleitfaden erhoben. Die methodische Auswertung erfolgt über die inhaltlich strukturierende qualitative Inhaltsanalyse. Neue, praxisorientierte Lösungsansätze werden aufgrund des Fachwissens der Experten, die aus den verschiedenen Berufsgruppen der medizinischen Rehabilitation ausgewählt wurden, erhoben. Das entwickelte Qualitätssteuerungskonzept ist eine Handlungsempfehlung zur dauerhaften Implementierung in der klinischen Praxis. Es verknüpft die externe Qualitätssicherung mit dem internen Qualitätsmanagement. Im Fokus des Konzeptes stehen die Kommunikation zwischen den verschiedenen Ebenen einer Rehabilitationseinrichtung und der interdisziplinäre fachliche Austausch. Die Autorin Dr. Sonja Funcke arbeitet als Leitung Qualitätsmanagement in einer Holding im Gesundheitswesen mit vier Rehabilitationskliniken und einer Zentralverwaltung. Als Lehrbeauftragte im Fachbereich Gesundheitsmanagement unterrichtet sie die dual Studierenden an der IU Internationale Hochschule. Sie ist bundesweit als Auditorin tätig.

This open access book offers a comprehensive analysis of the opportunities and challenges facing the development of China’s industry chains in a changing landscape. As the trend of deglobalization is intensifying, the global supply chain has suffered from external shocks, prompting both the private and public sectors to reflect on the stability of the supply chain. As such, governments are putting greater emphasis on the resilience and “security” of industry chains. How will the changing circumstances across the globe affect China’s industry chains? This book suggests that amidst the trend of deglobalization, it is important for China to leverage its advantages in economies of scale to improve both the efficiency and security of industry chains. By examining the current state of global trends, international trade, and industrial policies, the book outlines potential pathways of the development of global supply chains, and provides insights on the challenges and opportunities for China. This book also focuses on strategically important sectors in the digital, green, logistics, and manufacturing industries, presenting an in-depth discussion of the prospects of each industry chain. Being both readable and academically rigorous, this book is well-suited for readers from in the fields of public policy, economics, finance, and for those who seek to better understand the reshaping of China’s industry chains. The work cites information from various sources, including academic journals, policy institutions, and a network of primary sources such as industry experts and renowned academics. .

The tourism and hospitality industry is rapidly undergoing a disruptive transformation owing to advances in information and communications technology. This book aims to highlight how the unfolding digital transformation trends help the industry attain sustainable development by taking full account of its current and future economic, social, and environmental impacts and addressing the needs of tourists, the industry, the environment, and destinations. With the advent of digital technologies following the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), there has been a rapid change in how customers and businesses interact regarding the timeliness and relevance of communication. Although the positive effects of digital transformation have received sustained scholarly interest, its adverse effects, as well as how the digitisation of tourism operations can enable the achievement of sustainable development, have attracted limited academic focus. The book comprises contributions that generate theoretical insights, empirical findings, and evidence-based recommendations by focusing on emerging and forecasted technologies used in the tourism and hospitality industry, such as blockchains, robots, Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Reality, big data, and analytics. The book could be helpful for future research to focus on the impact of different forms of digital technology by examining their sociocultural and environmental effects. Building on prior research, the chapters in this volume extrapolate current studies on digital development to provide more links to tourism and hospitality.

The tourism and hospitality industry in the 21st century cannot be adequately planned, executed, marketed, managed, or studied without taking into account digital technology and its impact. The Fourth Industrial Revolution provides the framework for sustainable development in this sector. Technology not only increases profitability but also enables the industry to effectively respond to pressing global sustainability challenges such as pandemics, climate change, energy crises, staffing shortages, and hyperinflation. Moreover, technology allows the industry to consider its current and future economic, social, and environmental consequences, addressing the needs of tourists, the industry, the environment, and destinations. However, implementing technology efficiently and ethically is a complex process, and the opportunities, costs, and challenges vary depending on the geopolitical and socio-economic context. The application of digitalisation and technological innovations have played a significant role in promoting universal design and reasonable accommodation for older adults and individuals with disabilities in both developed and developing countries. These advancements are crucial for the growth of accessible tourism and hospitality. This edited book aims to explore the trends, challenges, and complexities of integrating digitalisation and technology into the tourism and hospitality industry. It also examines the strategic shifts that will shape future research in this area. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of research, including theoretical insights, empirical evidence, and evidence-based recommendations. It covers a range of technologies, such as blockchain, robots, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, big data, and analytics. The goal is to understand how these disruptive technologies are being used and their potential impact on various stakeholders, as well as their future possibilities and limitations.

The travel and hospitality industry in the 21st century cannot be conceived, planned, advertised, run, or researched without the use of digital technology and innovation. Sustainable development in this sector cannot be achieved without considering the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The use of technology not only enhances the industry's profitability but also helps it to respond effectively to pressing global sustainability issues such as pandemics, climate change, energy crises, workforce shortages, and hyperinflation. Furthermore, technology allows the sector to fully evaluate its current and future economic, social, and environmental impacts, addressing the needs of tourists, businesses, the environment, and destinations. However, implementing technology is not a simple process and involves various opportunities, costs, and challenges that differ depending on the geopolitical and socio-economic context. With the drive towards disability inclusion, digitalisation, technological innovations, and inventions can play a significant role in universal design and reasonable accommodation for older people and populations with disabilities in the Global North and South—such forms one of the key pillars of accessible tourism and hospitality. In the context of the above and in response to the thoughtful need for new and sustained study of the developments, interrelationships, potentialities of the topic, and synergies, this edited book explores the trends, opportunities, challenges, and complexities of digitalisation and technology integration in the tourism and hospitality industry, as well as strategic shifts that will contribute to emerging research streams. The book comprises contributions that generate theoretical insights, empirical findings, and evidence-based recommendations by focusing on emerging and forecasted technologies used in the tourism and hospitality industry, such as blockchains, robots, Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Reality, big data, and analytics. The aim is to provide a better understanding of how disruptive technologies and digitalisation are currently being utilised and how they currently and potentially influence various stakeholder groups, as well as their future possibilities and impossibilities. The third volume, in a three-volume set, primarily covers how these new technologies impact consumers and employees of tourism-related services.

Environmental toxicity and sustainability are major areas of research for the leather industry, as well as for the larger luxury and fashion industry. Several alternatives to traditional animal-based leather have been introduced in the market as “vegan” leather, e.g. the pineapple skin leather Piñatex, mycelium (mushroom leather), apple leather, cactus leather, and PU/PVC faux leather. However, a clear assessment of the sustainability (e.g. carbon/water footprint, LCA) for these alternatives is missing. The aim of this book is to provide clarity and a coherent structural assessment of sustainable vegan or vegetarian alternatives of leather. This book contributes to the current research within sustainability and environmental impact, production, and consumption aspects of these materials.
