The reach of one’s globalization is defined by the limit of the pronoun “WE”…
This is a synthesis of the trends developed at the Future Research Lab on the “Evolution of Healthcare in the US” led by Peter Belohlavek.
The objective of this research was to find the trends that underlie the healthcare business in the US and to develop the future scenario that arose based on the changes introduced in medical regulations and on the possibilities opened by the use of new technologies.
The 10-year trends can be synthesized in:
The trend towards expansive healthcare organizations
The trend towards patient centered management
The trend towards adaptive information technology solutions
The trend towards using semantic objects to segment
Introduction
Two structural changes happened in the United States:
1) The transparency of the use of electronic medical records established a new starting point for medical practice.
2) The concept of the Accountable Care Organizations and its analogical multiplication in medical practice introduced the concept of profiting from healthcare improvements.
This triggered the need of adaptiveness for healthcare organizations.
New technologies that made structural adaptiveness possible:
Adaptive Information Technology
Semantic objects to manage adaptiveness
The discovery of the human drivers of attitudes
Double dialectical logic to manage adaptiveness
The integration of the structural changes and the now available technologies is predictable based on the understanding of the power of the archetype of the US which naturally allows integrating ideals with businesses: www.unicistinstitute.net/blog/unicist-strategy-the-archetype-of-the-usa

These Trends are a Back to Hippocrates in the XXI Century
Back to Hippocrates means going back to the natural role of medicine.
In the XXI century it implies the use of an object driven organization model integrating processes with objects in order to ensure results and optimize the use of energy.
The Value Adding Approach is basically driven by the development of a model based on the use of the rules of Patient Centered Management.
The operational objective is to maximize the value added to patients considered as clients.
It is a backward-chaining-thinking approach beginning with the value being added and ending with the process and objects that are needed.
The process is centered on patient orientation, added value assurance and result assurance.

The 10-year Global Future Scenario of Objects driven Virtual Collaboration, developed by the Future Research Lab of The Unicist Research Institute and led by Peter Belohlavek, defines the trend towards this type of work organization when some of the following conditions are given:
Extreme specialized solutions are needed
There is a need for time saving
There is a need for timing
Transparency of work processes
Reliability systems
Customer orientation
Quality assurance in work process
About Virtual Collaboration
The communication and IT technologies allowed making the next step in organizational design, integrating personal and virtual collaboration, organizing roles and using business objects, to maximize results and minimize costs.
This is a change in working habits that is extremely valuable to manage the adaptive aspects of businesses.
The virtual collaboration allows developing both internal and external work processes. The introduction of this technology needs to begin with the activity where the productivity increase is needed the most.
Marshall McLuhan said: “The Medium is the Message”. There is no doubt that virtual media are less powerful than in-person activities to build personal relationships. Therefore it is necessary to compensate this characteristic with an increase of functionality in the group dynamics.
Functionality is increased by using business objects (that introduce functional adaptive automation into the processes). The use of business objects driven work processes allows increasing the functionality of virtual collaboration processes and building a context of simplicity.
In order to achieve group synergy, it is required that the group follows a protocol that establishes the rules of actions and the distribution of credits for its members.
It has to be considered that the bond established between the members of a group is basic to provide a collaboration context that allows achieving synergy and thus increases the productivity.
The fundamentals of this bond are given by the complementation between the members, the functionality of each role and the personal link between the members.
The drivers of this trend are:
The use of virtual collaboration at a personal level on Internet
The massification of the use of Internet
The use of virtual collaboration by many leading organization such a: Shell, IBM, Deloitte, Google, Cisco, etc.
The new technologies that sustain this trend:
Cloud computing
Audio/Video-conferencing
Data-sharing
Desktop-sharing
Web-conferencing
Imaging technologies
Object Driven Organization
Adaptive IT Solutions
Client Centered Management
Where will Virtual Collaboration be installed as a standard within the next 10 years?
Subjectivism is the killer of Virtual Collaboration
Subjectivism at work is the prevalence of subjective, ungrounded opinions, which prevail over any foundations that can be installed by a counterpart. Subjectivism implies the need of using distortive perceptions, denial and fallacies to avoid dealing with the actual problems.
Subjectivism is necessarily driven by manipulation which necessarily requires an extreme use of emotional influence to avoid dealing with the functional aspects of reality.
Therefore virtual collaboration requires working in functional environments where the roles of individuals are recognized by the results they can produce and their capacity of teamwork. Subjectivists can use virtual communication but not virtual collaboration.
What is needed to deal with Virtual Collaboration?
There are three aspects of organizations that need to be considered when installing virtual collaboration as a standard:
Client Centered Management, to organize towards the satisfaction of customers and clients.
Object Driven Organization, to use objects and personal roles to introduce functional adaptiveness in the processes.
Adaptive IT solutions in order to provide a framework to sustain the efficacy of the participants.
1) Client Centered Management (CCM)
CCM is a management model that was developed to establish the rules for an optimum use of the company’s energy so as to satisfy its internal and external clients. When talking about the external client in the company we necessarily refer to the customer and the shareholder. CCM is a meta-model to provide result-assurance, client orientation and secure added value to an organization. It is the natural model to expand businesses.
CCM is a paradigmatic adaptive system integrated by multiple business objects.
The core objects are:
1) The Unicist Reliability System
2) The Unicist Scorecard
3) The Unicist Quality Assurance System
The principles that integrate the CCM meta-model are:
1. Divide the processes into client-supplier units
This division aims at determining which operating units have a clear “output” so as to be suppliers and which have a clear “input” so as to be considered clients.
2. Minimize intermediaries
This principle follows the natural concept of “the larger the number of intermediaries, the bigger the entropy”.
3. Services or products received are paid for
This principle makes the organization become more aware of costs and benefits and enables negotiating goals to obtain measurable and predictable results.
Maximal Strategy
4. Each client has only one supplier
The principle that each client has only one supplier defines the role of the supplier which drives towards a solution driven approach and not only a task driven approach.
5. First giving, then receiving
It implies that services are paid for once rendered and not during the rendering process or in advance. There can be grounded exceptions to this in the organization.
6. Delivered out of time is considered undelivered
In practice, it ends up in an incentive system for each delivery on time and a punishment system if the dispatch is made out of time.
Minimum Strategy
7. Every client may change his supplier
The organization’s success is given by its capacity to satisfy the clients’ needs. This obliges the organization to manage the unfulfilled situations a supplier may have.
8. He who needs claims
“He who needs claims” is a principle based on the KANBAN approach which is closely associated with the natural tendency of satisfying one’s own needs.
9. Each supplier counts on his client’s trust
One of the basic principles of any successful large company is having a high reliability level. Reliability and trust are “sine qua non” principles for CCM’s application.
2) The Object Driven Organization
The unicist organizational approach is based on emulating nature in organizations. An extremely effective organization can be developed integrating both structural aspects that sustain evolution and incidental aspects that allow dealing with conjunctures. Emulating nature implies integrating the abstract apprehension of reality with the concrete operational design.
A unicist object driven organization is a result driven model that, according to the predefined objectives, designs the necessary processes and uses and reuses business objects to produce the expected results.
The object driven organization requires having a high level of maturity in business. It can be defined as the organization of processes and the use of objects to achieve the objectives that have been established in a strategy.
An object driven organization implies the development of a maximal strategy that includes the design of processes based on taxonomic procedures to put them into action and also a shared vision that makes these processes consistent with the business.
The vision of the organization is the catalyst of the minimum strategy. If it does not achieve its threshold, it works as an inhibitor of the minimum strategy and destroys the organization. The minimum strategy is based on the use and reuse of objects within the context of methodic procedures to ensure their use and functionality. This is sustained by an action plan (a “to do” list) to guarantee the fulfillment of the minimum strategy.
The use of business objects structures the timing and synchronicity of business processes. It also provides the necessary acceleration to achieve the needed critical mass and the required speed to adapt to the environment.
Types of Business Objects
There are five business objects which are: the drivers, the entropy inhibitors, the inhibitors, the catalysts and the gravitational objects.
The first three ones belong to the process of a system while the catalysts are part of the restricted context and the gravitational objects belong to the wide context of a system.
Objects can be designed integrating these three functions as part of their functionality or they can exist as three different objects to provide the driving, inhibiting and entropy inhibiting functions in a process.
Catalysts and gravitational objects are not part of the system. If one integrates them into the system, these objects do not work as such and destroy the system’s functionality.
The use of business objects requires individuals who understand the business processes in order to use the objects and replace them when their functionality has been exceeded
Unicist Business Objects are provided for the following uses:
Driving Objects To drive processes
Catalyzing Objects To accelerate processes
Entropy Inhibiting Objects To inhibit the entropy of business processes
Inhibiting Objects To inhibit dysfunctional events in a business
Gravitational Objects To influence the results of processes
3) Adaptive IT Solutions
The available IT technologies made the development of adaptive systems meaningful. The objective of building adaptive systems is to integrate software, hardware and peopleware in adaptive work or business processes to assure the quality of the results produced.
The development of the adaptive IT technology became possible because of the discovery of the unicist laws of evolution, the object driven organization that emulates the organization of nature and the drivers of human behavior that allow designing the necessary peopleware.
Before the existence of adaptive systems, the solution was fully focused on the efficacy of individuals, which increased the responsibility of the person who was doing a job. This forced individuals to consider all the details of the feedback from the environment which increased the probability of errors.
The catalyst of an adaptive IT system is its capacity to learn from the feedback to improve its adaptive structural behavior. The entropy inhibitor of the system is given by its capacity to learn to ensure conjunctural adaptiveness.
Adaptiveness is based on the existence of drivers that make it possible. There are different levels of adaptiveness beginning with the most basic and ending with the most flexible. The levels of the adaptive drivers are the following:
There are analogical drivers that are based on the recognition of patterns.
There are rule based drivers that include the preexisting and add rules that correspond to the activity.
There are empirical drivers that include the preexisting and add empirical information obtained using mathematical models.
There are objects based drivers that include the preexisting and add concept based objects as intrinsic adaptive systems.
The integration of the adaptive aspects with the operational and administrative aspects is necessary in order to develop user oriented information systems.
The level of adaptiveness of a system has to be designed according to the characteristics of a work process. Administrative and operational systems can be transformed into adaptive systems by adding and integrating an adaptive interface.
Quality Assurance: The Unicist Standard
The Unicist Standard was developed to sustain the application of the Unicist Logical Approach to Adaptive Systems Architecture and to the building of Unicist Business Objects.
The researches developed at The Unicist Research Institute allowed managing the unified fields of human complex adaptive systems in a reasonable, understandable and provable way.
The discoveries of the ontogenetic intelligence of nature, the anthropological invariables and their evolution, the human ontointelligence and the double dialectical behavior made the research & development and management of adaptive systems possible.
The Unicist Standard defines the ontogenetic maps that have to be followed in an adaptive system in order to structure it and achieve the results that have been defined as possible.
Conclusion
Virtual collaboration is the natural way to organize when there is a need of expert knowledge. Nowadays expert knowledge can be integrated in most of the cases by using the IT technologies that allow sharing data and images.
The time saving and productivity increase is significant when the conditions for virtual collaboration are given. It allows providing full synchronicity with the needs of customers and clients.
But there are several requirements for virtual collaboration to be implemented:
Virtual collaboration needs transparency of work become part of the culture of an organization.
It needs reliability systems that monitor work processes.
It requires customer orientation that fosters fulfillment, synchronicity and reliability.
Personal roles need to be complemented by quality assurance processes to ensure results.

Patient Centered Management (PCM) is an organizational meta-model that allows empowering the work processes in healthcare institutions. It is homologous to Client Centered Management that is the natural model to guide work processes in businesses that was developed in the eighties.
On the one hand, it works as a conceptual action guide to design work processes and, on the other hand, it is the main catalyst for continuous improvement, change management and innovation management.
PCM is driven by patient orientation. The purpose of the model is to assure results, and includes a quality assurance system that sustains the value added.
The information technology that sustains the PCM implies the integration of the three concepts that underlie healthcare IT:
EMR, to sustain physicians’ activities
EHR, to deal with the diseases
EPR, to provide a safety environment for patients
Based on the functional and legal context, this integration works in a different way in each culture.
The PCM provides a conceptual structure of rules that makes an optimal integration of these IT solutions possible and introduces the concept of adaptive interfaces in order to ensure adapting to the feedback.
Meta-models require being extremely focused in order to avoid being perceived as meaningless. By definition they need to be ambiguous because they need to allow adapting to the specific operation of different environments.
Meta-models describe the natural structure of an activity. Therefore, they are cross-cultural, needing to establish the operational rules respecting the characteristics of the environment. These meta-models make the saying “design globally, operate locally” become real.
The specific PCM is mainly focused on satisfying the needs of the patients within an environment where all participants win. The purpose of the model is to establish the unified field of the therapeutics process, taking advantage of all the technologies available and minimizing the participation of different “health” providers to solve the patients’ problems.

The Unicist Research closed the gap between macro and micro behaviour. The unicist complexity research approach implies dealing with applications while researching, which requires that the lapse of research time be very long in order to achieve fully accurate predicted results before validating a hypothesis.
As it has been done every year since its foundation, The Unicist Research Institute synthesized this January the researches that had been finished until that time. After 38 years, 2013/2014, can be considered the year in which the integration of macro and micro behavior could be confirmed.
The gap between the macro and the micro cosmos has been and is still a problem that theoretical physicists are closing. The integration of the field of macro and micro behavior, that has been solved by Peter Belohlavek, is homologous. It allows integrating social behavior with individual behavior, making human complex adaptive systems manageable.
The publication of Conceptual Economics, Conceptual Anthropology and Conceptual Psychology are some of the milestones of this process that included the researches developed in 2013-2014 (see image above).

The Unicist Ontology of amino acids allows understanding its functionality and the possibilities of their integration to build proteins. Their purpose is given by the side chain which defines the different functions amino acids can fulfill.
It has to be considered that the Unicist Ontology emulates the ontogenetic intelligence of nature that was discovered which defines that there is always a purpose, an active and entropic principle and an energy conservation principle. The unicist ontology of amino acids is a demonstration of how this intelligence works.
The active function of an amino acid is given by the carboxyl group that establishes a supplementary relationship with the R-group. The energy conservation function is given by the amino group, which establishes a complementary relationship with the R-group.
Amino acids are biologically organic compounds integrated by amine and carboxylic functional groups, driven by a side-chain specific to each amino acid. The key elements of an amino acid are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, though other elements are found in the side-chains of some amino acids.
Amino acids are the building blocks of peptides and proteins. They are composed of amine and carboxylic acid groups, separated by the alpha-carbon but the side chains on the alpha carbon vary with the acid. They are the subunits of proteins: amino acids make peptide chains, peptide chains make polypeptides, polypeptides make proteins.
Amino acids are the structural units that build proteins. They join together to form short polymer chains called peptides or longer chains called either polypeptides or proteins. These polymers are linear and unbranched, with each amino acid within the chain attached to two neighboring amino acids.
Peptide Formation
Amides can be thought of as forming from the reaction of an amine and a carboxylic acid. In the same way, two amino acids can combine to form a dipeptide, held together by a peptide bond.
Peptides
A fourth amino acid would form a tetrapeptide, a fifth would form a pentapeptide, and so on. Short chains are referred to as peptides, chains of up to about 50 amino acids are polypeptides, and chains of more than 50 amino acids are proteins. Amino acids in peptide chains are called amino acid residues.
Classification of Amino Acids
Acidic amino acids and their amides: aspartic acid, asparagine, glutamic acid, glutamine.

The research on the unicist ontology of health, which began in 2001, was focused on finding the essential structure of health that allows understanding the multiple medical specialties and medical approaches that deal with “the art of healing”. This research was developed at The Unicist Research Institute and was led by Peter Belohlavek.
Paradoxically, it could be finished after the ontological structures of healthcare were discovered. This research integrated health and medical approaches in a “unified field”. The previous researches that sustained this discovery were:
-The Unified Field of Healthcare -Homology between Concepts and Stem Cells -The Ontogenetic Intelligence of Nature -The Fallacy of Organs and Chronic Diseases -The Unicist Structure of Viruses -The Ontogenetic Map of Chronic Diseases -The Ontogenetic Map of Addictions -The Ontogenetic Map of Stress -The Ontogenetic Map of Cures -The Ontogenetic Map of Immune Systems -The Ontogenetic Map of Therapeutics -The Ontogenetic Map of Diseases
Health can be defined as the integration of organic functionality, psychic functionality and the functionality of the inner energy flow.
The organic functionality is defined by the functionality of organs which, working as complex adaptive systems, can only be measured based on the consequences of their function. Organic functionality also includes the functionality of inner systems, although they cannot be considered as organs (e.g: the immune system). The fallacy of organs functionality is a proof of the limits of the possibilities of organic functionality. http://www.unicist.org/healthcare/unicist-ontology-of-health-the-fallacies-of-organs/
The psychic functionality is defined by the functionality of the instinctive, spiritual and psychological processes whether they are conscious or unconscious that allow individuals to adapt to the environment. The psychic functionality deals with the interpersonal and intrapersonal adaptive processes and with the meaning of life.
The energy-flow functionality can only be measured by the consequences of its lack of functionality. It implies that the human being considered as a system flows internally in a harmonic way. This allows individuals to live and adapt to the environment.
Fostering health requires ensuring that the psychic functionality, which is the active function of health, maintains and does not hinder the energy flow that sustains the functionality of organs. Fostering health requires stimulating a meaningful life where the interpersonal and intrapersonal adaptation conflicts can be managed.

The unicist ontology of fallacies and a particular case of the fallacies of organs will be introduced following a synthetic description on the fallacious behavior of the kidneys and its consequences in the human body.The case of the fallacious behavior of kidneys will be presented as an example for its consequences in the human body.
The fallacies of organs are either movement or inaction fallacies. They are natural responses when the survival of the object-organ is being threatened by the “system” that pretend to ensure the survival of the organ in spite of the consequences on the whole body.
The synthetic description of the case of kidney fallacies will provide the understanding of how the fallacious behavior occurs.
Fallacy of Kidney’s Behavior
The kidney generates fallacious responses when it is threatened by dysfunctional blood flow. The kidney decides to survive itself in spite of the consequences on the organism.
Pre renal kidney failure is caused by conditions or substances that interfere with blood flow to the kidneys. Conditions that may leave the kidneys with insufficient blood flow or blood supply include:
Low blood pressure: Low blood pressure can be caused by severe bleeding, infection, dehydration, or shock.
Reduced blood flow: Reduced blood flow to the kidney can be caused by a weak heart, heart attack, or congestive heart failure.
Low blood volume: Low blood volume can be caused by severe dehydration and an excessive loss of fluid, which decreases the volume of blood and the amount of blood available to the kidneys.
High blood pressure makes the heart work harder and, over time, can damage blood vessels throughout the body. If the blood vessels in the kidneys are damaged, they may stop removing wastes and extra fluid from the body. The extra fluid in the blood vessels may then raise blood pressure even more. It’s a dangerous cycle.
High blood pressure is one of the leading causes of kidney failure, also called end-stage renal disease (ESRD). People with kidney failure must either receive a kidney transplant or have regular blood-cleansing treatments called dialysis. Every year, high blood pressure causes more than 25,000 new cases of kidney failure in the United States.
The fallacies of the kidney drive to chronic diseases or to destroying the organism and dying with it.
Conclusion
One of the consequences of systematic fallacious behavior is the generation of chronic dysfunctions of the organ. If the problem of blood pressure is not equilibrated, the kidney will tend to change its functionality which will hinder the fulfillment of its purpose.

It is necessary to define complexity in the field of business. It needs to be understood to develop and use adaptive systems:
When you have to add 1 + 1 the problem is simple; 1 + 1 = 2. There is only one possible solution and all you have to do is follow a method.
But the problem becomes complex if you reverse the equation (2 = ???) because you need to produce a result. In this case there are infinite solutions and the problem is complex because you have to find the equation that optimizes the process of producing results. That is why using methods is simple but ensuring results is complex.
We define a complex system as an open system, which defines the functionality of a unified field through the conjunction of objects and/or subsystems.
Complexity Science Organizations
There are three main organizations in the world that are fully focused on complexity science and its application in the field of human complex adaptive systems.
We strongly recommend comparing their approaches to choose the one that is functional to your needs. We suggest beginning by accessing their institutional page to apprehend the concept of adaptiveness they manage:
The Unicist Research Institute – A unicist logical approach (based on a pragmatic, structuralist and functionalist framework) https://www.facebook.com/unicist
Dealing with Businesses as Complex Adaptive Systems
Businesses are typical adaptive systems. Businesses need to adapt to the environment in order to achieve their goals.
The Unicist Logical Approach allows emulating the dynamics of a business in mind that allows managing it as an adaptive system. Thus this approach permits defining reliable scenarios, develop diagnoses, build strategies and design business architectures.
The more adaptive a system is, the less energy it consumes to generate a predefined value. Adaptive systems require using predictors to deal with the adaptive aspects of the reality that is being managed. This requires using a unicist logical approach to define the rules that regulate adaptiveness and allow designing the architecture of the system.
Designing adaptive systems implies dealing with the complexity of such systems and developing operational solutions that can be managed by everyone to expand businesses and save energy. Complexity science can be defined as the scientific approach to complex adaptive systems.
The Unicist Logical Approach to Complexity Sciences
The unicist logical approach manages the adaptive aspects of business as unified fields based on the knowledge of their ontogenetic maps.
The knowledge of the ontogenetic map of a business, its market and the context allowed managing the fundamentals that define the possibilities of business actions.
The future scenario building became possible based on the knowledge of the ontology of evolution and the ontogenetic maps of a business and its restricted and wide contexts.
This knowledge allowed defining synergic maximal strategies, to expand beyond the boundaries of a business, and minimum strategies to work within them.
Adaptive business processes became reliable based on the use of ontology based business objects. The use of objects upgraded the role of human work in business.
The integration of fundamental analysis and technical analysis allowed building reliable business knowledge, transforming uncertainty into risk and integrating the knowledge of the possibilities of success with its probabilities.
All the solutions, business objects, technologies and knowledge provided by The Unicist Research Institute are based on the unicist logical approach and generate significant energy saving effects.
Steps to Manage Businesses as Adaptive Systems:
Forecast the future of the adaptive system that is being influenced.
Diagnose adaptive systems to define the possibilities of what can be achieved and how to do it.
Develop the necessary strategies that allow developing both maximal strategies to expand the boundaries of the system and minimum strategies to ensure survival.
Design the architecture of the solution in order to obtain the results that are necessary and possible to be achieved.
This requires having a conceptual approach to apprehend the unified field of the business and being able to transform adaptive aspects into operational solutions.
The Unicist Healthcare Confederation is now expanding worldwide providing unicist object driven technologies to deal with the adaptive aspects of businesses. www.health.unicist.net
The unicist logical approach allowed managing the adaptive aspects of businesses by using unicist logical tools and business objects. This approach provides cross-cultural solutions based on the researches made at The Unicist Research Institute. To access the basics that sustain unicist education please access: www.unicist.org/sdp.shtml
Complex adaptive aspects of businesses need to be learned in their dynamics which implies that they need to be learned making real applications based on the knowledge of their dynamic structure.
This is analogous to medical residencies in teaching hospitals where graduated physicians learn to manage a specialty. It has to be considered that medicine is a paradigmatic case of complexity: http://www.massgeneral.org/education/
The Future Scenario: Static vs. Dynamic Learning Processes
The superior education in business management provided an empirical operational and analytical framework for business management that upgraded professionalism in the XXth century.
The static empirical model that permitted administrating businesses provided the knowledge that allowed developing the necessary information technology that became redundant with the superior educational programs. Simultaneously, the explosive R&D capacity to release new products shortened their lifecycle.
These two situations, the redundancy of operational an analytical knowledge and the acceleration of business processes, made the static empirical approach to business become functional to business operation but dysfunctional to business management.
The Next Step: “teaching hospitals” in the business field
Unicist education is based on learning processes that are analogous to “teaching hospitals” based on real complex problem solving. The unicist educational model is a postgraduate model that deals with the learning of logical tools and business objects. You can access a white paper at: www.unicist.org/deb_wpue.php
It requires having the necessary technical-analytical knowledge learned in graduate or undergraduate programs.
It requires the learning of:
1) The building of future scenarios
2) Diagnosing businesses
3) Developing Unicist Strategies
4) Building Business Architectures

We propose you compare the differences between unicist education and professional education by accessing the information on the unicist logical approach and the approaches to cross-cultural businesses of four major Global MBAs (2 in the USA and 2 in the EU).
We recommend beginning with the social communication of the different proposals.
The unicist logical approach manages the adaptive aspects of business as unified fields based on the knowledge of their ontogenetic maps.
Unicist Active Business Library
The knowledge of the ontogenetic map of a business, its market and the context allowed managing the fundamentals that define the possibilities of business actions.
The future scenario building became possible based on the knowledge of the ontology of evolution and the ontogenetic maps of a business and its restricted and wide contexts.
This knowledge allowed defining synergic maximal strategies, to expand beyond the boundaries of a business, and minimum strategies to work within them.
Adaptive business processes became reliable based on the use of ontology based business objects. The use of objects upgraded the role of human work in business.
The integration of fundamental analysis and technical analysis allowed building reliable business knowledge, transforming uncertainty into risk and integrating the knowledge of the possibilities of success with its probabilities.
All the solutions, business objects, technologies and knowledge provided by The Unicist Research Institute are based on the unicist logical approach and generate significant energy saving effects.
The Unicist Corporate University (UCU) is the academic arm of The Unicist Research Institute that is organized as a Teaching Hospital that develops business residencies. It is based on technologies that allow building cross-cultural strategies: http://www.unicist.org/sdp.shtml#cc
The UCU is now expanding worldwide installing In-company Corporate Universities to provide the unicist technologies to deal with the adaptive aspects of businesses.
The discovery of the unicist ontogenetic intelligence of nature allowed defining the triadic structure that regulates any entity. It included the discovery of the complementation and supplementation laws.
These discoveries established the groundings to develop the unicist double dialectical logic that underlies all systems in nature.
The use of the double dialectical logic made the emulation of the organization of nature possible, developing objects to install into human adaptive systems to make them faster, safer and reliable.
The unicist double dialectical approach to medicine allowed (*):
1) Defining and managing diagnoses as adaptive systems and transforming them into medical objects integrating the triadic structure of cures, fundamental diagnoses and technical-analytical diagnoses.
2) Managing therapeutics as a complex adaptive system, integrating the triadic structure defined by cures, palliatives and recovery.
3) Managing the triadic structure of Health IT integrating software, hardware and peopleware.
4) Integrating the triadic structure of electronic records for medical practice, integrating EMR, HER and EPR.
5) Managing drugs as medical objects integrating their functionality with the adverse effects and the positive side effects.
6) Managing the triadic structure of patient centered management integrating the patient, medical practice and management.
7) Installing the Object Driven Organization Metamodel to materialize the Patient Centered Management.
8) Developing a unicist scorecard to monitor the metrics of the medical business activities.
(*) A condition to manage the unicist approach is to go beyond the use of dualistic logic and use the double dialectical logic in order to be able to emulate dynamic processes in mind. It implies leaving behind the use of the disjunction “or” substituting it by the use of the functional conjunction “and”.
Healthcare: the use of Unicist Adaptive IT Architectures
Adaptive IT solutions are systems that have been designed to interact with the external and internal environment. Nowadays, there are multiple programming solutions available to sustain the unicist adaptive architecture. The solutions include aspect objects architecture with unicist logical inferences to manage adaptiveness.
The evolution of Information Technologies allowed integrating the adaptive aspects of business management in the operational systems of hospitals.
The integration of the unicist logical approach and the resulting business objects included in the business processes within an adaptive IT environment allows driving business processes to the next level.
To be able to organize by objects it is necessary to use both adaptive and administrative systems to organize the work processes. This widened the possibilities of hospitals to expand the boundaries of their activities within an environment of assured quality.
There are four levels of adaptiveness that can be managed:
1) Analogical drivers
This level is based on the recognition of the significant behavioral patterns of the segments of patients.
2) Rules based drivers
This level is based on the use of analogical patterns and the logical rules defined by the fundamentals that influence the processes.
3) Empirical drivers
This level is based on the previous level and the integration of mathematical models to infer behavior based on the observable aspects of the fundamentals of the processes.
4) Objects based drivers
This level is based on the previous level plus the use of medical objects that work as interdependent drivers to influence the attitude of patients. The feedback is defined by the results produced by these objects.
The level of adaptiveness varies according to the needs of the system. Adaptiveness is based on the medical, therapeutics and disease segmentation.
