These objectives address ISUH goals and ICUH themes on health equity and healthy sustainable urbanization. The following two main themes will be discussed in this workshop: 1. Research & innovation: Explore links and interactions between urban health, ecological public health, climate change, air quality and sustainable development, with specific examples for integrated life-course solutions. 2. Achieving impact: Going beyond established public and policy engagement and dissemination to the more comprehensive exploration of challenges and opportunities with agents from the public and private sectors. This workshop targets public health practitioners, urban planners and developers, environmental scientists, air quality managers, exposure scientists, epidemiologist, toxicologists, city directors. ORGANIZERS Sotiris Vardoulakis, Director of Research, Institute of Occupational Medicine, and Co-Chair of Healthy-Polis International Consortium for Urban Environmental Health & Sustainability Thomas Krafft, Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences, School for Public Health and Primary Care, Maastricht University, and Co-Chair of IGU Commission on Health and the Environment SPEAKERS Franz Gatzweiler, ICSU Program on Health and Wellbeing; Alena Bartonova, Research Director, NILU, UAE; Lidia Morawska, Director, International Laboratory for Air Quality and Health, Queensland University of Technology, Australia; Silvana Di Sabatino, University of Bologna, Italy; Clare Heaviside, Public Health England, UK; Daniel Black, db+a, UK Other Healthy-Polis scientific advisory committee members, particularly those aiming to develop specific collaborative research proposals for funding Break: 9:00 - 9:10 ICUH2017 I Health Equity I Coimbra, Portugal I September, 26-29, 2017 #ICUH2017 MON 25/09 14:00 - 18:30 PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP PCW SHAPING POLICIES TO PROMOTE URBAN HEALTH EQUITY: A SOCIO-TECHNICAL APPROACH. 2 EVIDENCE FROM THE EURO-HEALTHY CASE STUDIES The main purpose of this workshop is to explore how the framework and methods developed under the EURO-HEALTHY project can effectively assist local policy-makers in the analysis, evaluation and selection of policies aiming to promote health equity in different urban settings. Furthermore, it is expected that the workshop will lead the participants to exchange knowledge on: i) Health equity issues in different cities and the impact of local policies on intra-urban health inequalities; ii) Good practices on urban policies improving population health and decreasing inequalities; iii) Stakeholder involvement; iv) Evidence on how greater collaboration among researchers, stakeholders, policy-makers and civil society representatives complements the efforts to integrate research into policies and improve health equity. The workshop will be structured in two parts. The first part will include a number of presentation sessions regarding the development of the EURO-HEALTHY's case studies of Lisbon and Turin and the methodology implemented to support the evaluation and selection of policies in each city. The second part will be focused on discussing the added-value, the opportunities and challenges of the transferability of the EURO- HEALTHY's framework, tools and approaches to other urban settings and its complementarity with other socio-ecological frameworks. This workshop will provide a unique platform for policy makers, city councillors, health geographers, urban planners and health scientists to discuss determinants of health equity, public policies, evidence-based policy-making, evaluation methods, stakeholders involvement, healthy urban planning.

These expected urban expansion rates will induce major changes in human population distribution, with important consequences on the environment, health and socio-economic development. The MAUPP project (Modelling and forecasting African Urban Population Patterns for vulnerability and health assessments) is a 4-year research project focusing on the development of data and methods for monitoring urban African settings and modelling population distribution. Satellite remote sensing offers an effective solution for mapping settlements, monitoring urbanization at different spatial and temporal scales and predict intra-urban variations in population density. The quantity and quality of human population datasets available for sub-Saharan African cities remains very poor, and our objective is first to demonstrate the potentialities of newly developed data and methods in the field of urban population mapping and modelling for urban health decision making. Our broader objective is to meet potential users of our datasets in order to better design them to user needs and understand user learning requirements to inform our capacity building activities. • Brief presentation of the MAUPP project (Catherine Linard) • Presentation of the available datasets (Michal Shimoni & Eléonore Wolff) • Best practices for using the datasets and example applications (Jessica Steele & Catherine Linard) • Discussion with participants on (i) the utility of datasets in their own field of expertise, (ii) data limitations and (iii) specific requirements for urban health applications ORGANIZERS Catherine Linard, Spatial Epidemiology Lab (SpELL), Université Libre de Bruxelles, Brussels, Belgium; [email protected] Michal Shimoni, Signal and Image Centre (SIC-RMA), Belgian Royal Military Academy, Brussels, Belgium; [email protected] Sabine Vanhuysse, Geospatial Analysis (ANAGEO), Université Libre de Bruxelles, Brussels, Belgium ; [email protected] Jessica Steele, WorldPop, Geography & Environment, University of Southampton, Southampton, UK; [email protected] SPONSORS This workshop is supported by funding from the Belgian Science Policy (SR/00/304).

  • Enhancing Healthcare Decision-Making Process: Findings from Orthopaedic Field
    administrative sciences Article Enhancing Healthcare Decision-Making Process: Findings from Orthopaedic Field Irene Schettini * , Gabriele Palozzi and Antonio Chirico Department of Management and Law, University of Rome Tor Vergata, 00133 Rome, Italy; [email protected] (G.P.); [email protected] (A.C.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +39-0672-595-401 Received: 29 October 2020; Accepted: 20 November 2020; Published: 25 November 2020 Abstract: In the healthcare field, the decision-making process is part of the broad spectrum of “clinical reasoning”, which is recognised as the whole process by which a physician decides about patients’ treatments and cares. Several clinicians’ intrinsic variables lead to this decisional path. Little is known about the inference of these variables in triggering biases in decisions about the post-discharge period in the surgical field. Accordingly, this research aims to understand if and how cognitive biases can affect orthopaedists in decision-making regarding the follow-up after knee and hip arthroplasty. To achieve this goal, an interview-based explorative case study was run. Three key-decisional orthopaedic surgeons were interviewed through a quality control tool aimed at monitoring the causes and effects of cognitive distortions. Coherently with the literature, eight biases come to light. All the interviewees agree on the presence of four common biases in orthopaedic surgery (Affect heuristic, Anchoring, Halo effect, Saliency). The other biases (Groupthink, Availability, Overconfidence, Confirmation), instead, depending on specific physicians’ intrinsic variables; namely: (i) working experience; (ii) working context. This finding contributes to the debate about the application of cognitive tools as leverage for improving the quality of clinical decision-making process and, indirectly, enhancing better healthcare outcomes.
