초록/해제  
요약 : Productivity is determined by the number of jobs a resource completes per unit of time and is also called throughput. It is constrained by the resource capacity --- the maximum number that the resource can process per unit of time in steady state. Human resources, in contrast to capital processing assets (e.g. machines), deal with more complex jobs and can adjust processing times or quality according to their own judgement. My research focuses on one type of human resources, professional labor, whose work that involves intensive knowledge or information processing. Professional labor productivity is a key performance indicator of the operational efficiency of service processes---given the uniqueness of professional labor's knowledge work, they cannot be easily replaced or replicated by other resources.
초록/해제  
요약 : My doctoral research studies professional labor in the healthcare setting---care provider (physician, nurse, pharmacist, social worker, lab staff and etc.) collaboration. Care providers constitute professional labor because they need to provide diagnoses and medical cares based on their professional expertise. Since they make discretionary decisions in performing care activities, their productivity is endogenously affected by their own or related events. My dissertation investigates the endogenous productivity from the collaboration cost viewpoint.
초록/해제  
요약 : Professional work often involves generalists who act as hubs, discussing and consulting with specialists to gather information and make decisions. My research studies one type of generalists---''hospitalist" at Northwestern Memorial Hospital (NMH). Since Wachter and Goldman (1996) called attention to the emergence of hospitalists, more and more hospitals have employed such general physicians who are committed to providing high-quality inpatient care to a number of hospitalized patients every day. Hospitalists work as the orchestrator of inpatient care by collecting care progress information, making diagnoses and decisions regarding patient treatment next steps (ordering lab tests, surgeries, transferring to other units, discharging home, and etc.), and updating the care progresses in the patient Electronic Health Records (EHR). As their work nature suggests, hospitalist work involves intensive collaboration and thus their productivity is heavily influenced.
초록/해제  
요약 : The dissertation consists of two papers that study the collaboration cost on hospitalist productivity from two perspectives: 1)Micro level: impact of coordination-driven task switching---hospitalists' direct interactions with other care providers; 2)Macro level: impact of team evolution---teams that consist of care providers with whom a hospitalist directly or indirectly interact with.
