Medical Technology and the Fourth Industrial Revolution
Vicknesh Krishnan
ABSTRACT : The fourth industrial revolution was announced at the World Economic Forum in 2016 and is anticipated to introduce many drastic changes across all sectors. The healthcare system is one area that will be significantly affected as society moves away from the field of domestic to industry towards self-preservation. Many innovations have already been identified and researchers are actively perfecting their algorithms and the application of various concepts in patient care. The paper explores the different aspects of the fourth industrial revolution that are related to healthcare, and how they can be used to help to improve problems faced in the Malaysian healthcare system. Over the past decade, Malaysia has made tremendous strides in this sector and successfully managed to expand access of care and improve sanitary conditions for all residents. At present the leading causes of mortality in the country are non-communicable illnesses. The Ministry of Health reports that there is an increase in the number of patients that are affected by chronic conditions and the healthcare system is currently facing a problem with the shortage of staff. Medical technologies such as telemedicine and sensors that facilitate remote care can aid in addressing this problem; however, there are several factors that either promote or stagnate this process. Using the diffusion of innovation theory, the paper further elaborates on these areas, and provides suggestions on how to overcome some obstacles.

The Strategic Human Resource Management in Responding to the Job Performance in an Organization
Chin Xue Yi
ABSTRACT : This paper attempts to conceptually explain the relationship between the independent variables (performance appraisal, training and motivation, team work, compensation and selective hiring), the mediating variable (job satisfaction) and the dependent variable (job performance). This paper also explains job satisfaction as the mediating variable and its effect on the relationship between the independent variables and job performance in an organization. A framework is constructed to suggest the relationship between the independent variables, job satisfaction and job performance. There are also some suggestions on how to overcome the issues of the related study. The results of this study is being summarized in the conclusion of the term paper.

Abstract : The answer to address these challenges is one where a vision of the future in which new business and care value-based delivery models, aided by digital technologies, may help to solve today’s problems and to build a sustainable foundation for affordable, accessible, high quality healthcare. This vision requires a paradigm shift in focus away from a patient-centred care (sick care) to one of person-centred care, which supports wellbeing, prevention, and early intervention. The integration of all health sectors, into “clusters” of public-private healthcare service providers, is driving innovation to be more equitable, accessible, and affordable. This conceptual paper will explicate the experience of Malaysian Government through its Ministry of Health in containing Covid-19 outbreak in Malaysia.
