These descriptions state the "...duties, training and skills" (Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2006-07) required for each work position. When a new position is formed in the hospital or when jobs that already exist are under review, this individual within the hospital HR is called upon due to their expert knowledge.
IV. HR INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
The work of Khalili (2003) entitled: "Getting Acquainted with the Hospital Administration Programs" states of hospital information technology that: "Programming is the collection of activities which can identify how man and technology can work towards reaching an objective within a given time period. Programming can give a forecast of future events by using the present capabilities and decisions so that an appropriate approach can be proposed. The main goal of programming is the utilization of capabilities to achieve the desired objective." The management information system (MIS) of a hospital should meet the minimum requirements of, but is not limited to the following functions:
Facilitate the management of the hospital;
Provide management with an adequate decision support system by providing information that is timely, accurate, consistent, complete, and relevant;
Deliver complex material throughout the institution;
Support the organization's strategic goals and direction;
Ensure the integrity and availability of data;
Provide an objective system for recording and aggregating information;
Reduce expenses related to labor-intensive manual activities; and Enhance communication among employees. (Management: Roles and Responsibilities; it Responsibilities and Functions, 2004)
VI. DIFFERENCES of HR in HOSPITALS THAN OTHER BusinessES
One of the differences between the hospital and other business types is the level of diversity among hospital workers. The hospital is an organization comprised of various units of operation "engaged in a variety of activities. The human resources of this organization are individuals with different educational and cultural backgrounds, as well as different experiences in educational and medical treatment fields who are gathered to utilize technological and professional tools to provide the necessary services for the patients, doctors, and students." (Khalili, 2003) the primary difference between hospitals and other businesses is that the hospital must function 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, around-the-clock, in a non-stop, efficient and functional capacity.
