¶ … Technology Decision Making
Effect of technology decision making
Technology has been growing over a period of years due to globalization. All individuals, organizations, and even the society as a whole have been affected by the information and communication uprising. This has even changed their lifestyles. The Information is readily available in the computers mostly through internet technology and telecommunications. The Organizations are able to build their information systems in a variety of formats. A System may be defined as a sequence of functional components which are connected by communication links showing or demonstrating purpose and objective directed performance (Kampov 2010). However, it is important to analyze and discuss systems, informatics theories and DIK model. The paper will also discuss the role of expert system in nursing care, use of decision aids and also the decision support systems. There will be discussion on how the effect of technology on decision making on patient and client management and also the effects of technology on health care and health status
Information Technology in the Health Informatics systems is continually changing and influenced by instantaneous communication and global actions. In a Healthcare setting, it is vital to predict communication outcomes. Whether it is in making decisions on diagnosis or plan, it is important to consider the outcome. In cases where the patients assume their own health through internet research, technology has continued to improve the efficacy of health care in different ways. Computers have managed to integrate technology into the medical field (Greenes, 2009). Each system is unique despite having the same purpose, structure and function. Choosing the best would depend on the one suitable with the health care Organizations making sure it can incorporate the decision support systems.
Health Information Technology introduced a charting system STORC which was designed to facilitate clinical care by enabling data collection and advance patient's safety. This helped in integrating the past data with the existing ones making a single point of health application. The data included admissions, laboratory results, outpatient and inpatient integration, discharge and transfer of data. It provided health decision support relevant to the physicians. The system also provided shortcuts and other tools that help facilitate the speed up of care facilities. It also managed to print documents in customary formats. This system was able to print educational materials for the patients and also their discharge instructions.
Different Organizations use different informatics theories. These are system theories, informative theories, learning theories, and change theories. System theory is a collected set of interrelated parts enclosed in a border. This theory explains the process of learning by using the framework, which inputs the information or data in the system. This helps in analyzing the procedure and measures and then evaluates the output of the system. Information theory normally has two models. The first one is the Shannon and Weaver's information-communication model and the other is Blum's model. Shannon and Weaver's model consists of three key levels. These are the technical, semantic, and effectiveness. This model provides a framework which helps in analyzing the effectiveness and also the efficiency of the information transmit and communication. On the other hand, Blum's model provides a broad analysis of information as it is produced, conveyed and used. Blum's model is responsible for explaining how problems experienced during communication may get resolved (Murphy 2011).
Discussion on the DIK Model
There are no complications in any Organizations until people are cut off from necessary information they require. There is a global myth that believes more information or data is better. Some people say information is a commodity while others believe it is knowledge. The concepts in DIK model include Data which represents reality. There is also Information which includes data that provides applicable clues or news. Knowledge is another concept that consists of the framework for organizing the interactions between parts of information. Lastly we have decisions made from this knowledge. Managing the Data and Information has to be timely, accurate, and relevant just like a watch. It is important to know what the employees really need to know.
The efficiency of transmission is also vital. Paying attention to the form of information as well as being cautious of the communication chain is vital. Generating both soft and hard data as well as recognizing and managing all the information networks are mandatory. The credibility of the source of information is important just to be sure wrong information is not transmitted. The flow and the availability of this...
Technology and Project Management The Politics of Technology Technology today is such an integrated part of life that it has become inseparable from everyday activity. Indeed, it affects all areas of life, including general public life, professional life, schooling, and politics. In this regard, Cohen (2003) mentions that technology, when combined with politics, could become something of a double-edged sword. Terrorism, for example, could become particularly sophisticated. Enemies of the country, for example,
Technology in Emergency Management Following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, emergency managers across the country have been forced to reexamine their emergency response protocols and incorporate the latest technologies in an effort to help mitigate the effects of future disasters and emergencies. This paper provides a review of the relevant peer-reviewed and scholarly literature to determine how technology has shaped the way emergency managers mitigate disasters, including a discussion
Technology Costing Methodology Introduction- The modern university paradigm is extremely complex, requiring a balance between student enrolment, staffing, procedures, stakeholder expectations and budgets. The modern educational professional must realize that the position of budgets and fiscal responsibility is tied to costs and expenditures -- which have tended towards exponential increases over the last decade. This has, in effect, caused a situation of continual multiple horizontal priorities. The situation is such that
The modeling environments was so accurate it could deliver results that aligned at a 95% accuracy rate with the actual results achieved. Another advantage was the use of knowledge management to orchestrate multichannel selling, marketing and service scenarios across the client's specific requirements and needs. The analytics and knowledge management systems were also combined successfully to create a constraint-based engine as well. All of these factors were critical to
Technology in the Classroom In today's society, technology has become an accepted medium for communication. From email correspondence that has taken the place of mail, to texting instead of talking, advances in technology have become integrated into our daily lives. However, the line should be drawn when it comes to technology impeding academics and being incorporated into the classroom. Although many support the notion of technology in the class, others see
Technology in Healthcare It is a fact of life today that technology pervades everything. It is hardly a surprise that this is true for health care as well. Indeed, the very nature of health care, in that it provides human beings with a better chance at a higher quality of life, requires that some degree of technology is necessary. This is also important in terms of leadership in health care. If
