Download or read book Effective Lifecycle Management of Healthcare Applications written by Susan M. Houston and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2020-01-24 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid growth of software applications within healthcare organizations has made it essential to have defined methodologies and formal processes for the management of the entire Information Technology (IT) portfolio. Utilizing a portfolio management framework throughout an application’s lifecycle will provide the necessary structure to ensure that all new applications are properly evaluated, and, once implemented, remain relevant while continuing to meet organizational requirements. While an organization may have a few large "organization-wide" systems such as the Electronic Health Record (EHR), lab or radiology systems, they also have a large quantity of other clinical, administrative, and research systems. Some larger organizations now have hundreds of software applications to support and manage. The IT staff must be able to implement new requests while still maintaining the current application portfolio. Utilizing a standard repeatable process will help to manage these large portfolios of software applications. This book reviews the management of applications throughout their lifecycle, from initial request through disposition. Best practices dictate that every newly requested application undergoes analysis followed by an approval decision from the organization’s governance committee. The initial implementation project must include activities to prepare for ongoing support while ensuring the application is compliant with all security, privacy, and architecture requirements. An application spends years in operations and maintenance where changes occur regularly through configuration and release management, or additional projects. The cycle continues until disposition. Understanding when to dispose of an application is just as important as deciding when to implement a new one. A defined process for disposing of an application ensures all parts are properly removed or destroyed.

Download or read book Medical Device Product Lifecycle written by Bernadette White and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-03-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended to provide an introduction to the application of a lifecycle approach to product design and development for medical devices. Medical Device Product Lifecycle management provides a framework to develop, design maintain user requirements and ensure the safety and performance of medical devices. Application of a Medical Device Product Lifecycle Management benefits the business aspects of manufacturing, fosters alignment across design and development teams and incorporates the voice of the customer, taking into account their needs and safety that is inherent in the design of products. The Medical Device Product Lifecycle (MDPL) relies upon several distinct quality management elements and processes in order to function effectively. These include; principles and establishment of a quality management system, regulatory processes, validation processes, engineering processes, change management and risk management processes. The MDPL process itself requires procedures and documentation to facilitate product realization. For the reader to gain the maximum benefit from this book, the following points should be considered. To begin with-Regulations are mandatory. Medical devices range in their application (intended use and indications), technologies, principles of operation, complexity and value. However, regulation in addition to standards need to be consulted and applied within organizations. The manufacturer has a legal responsibility in this regard and the classification and commercial strategy may require regulations such as FDA 21 CFR 820, (United States), and Medical Device Regulations EU MDR (2017/745) or Regulation 2017/746 on In-Vitro Diagnostic Devices (IVDR) (in Europe). Introduction Establishing a Medical Device Product Development Process is necessary to for medical device manufacturers to meet FDA regulations and regional regulations applicable to the products for sale. Beyond the legal stipulation, an additional purpose is to realize and deliver safe and effective medical devices that meet the intended use and user needs which provides medical solutions that enhance and preserve quality of life. To achieve safe and effective products, the guiding principles and techniques not only need to be applied in the design and development stages, but maintaining and monitoring the performance through the product lifecycle is required. It is easily to compartmentalize product performance and safety as a development and design-based activity, however, an effective medical device lifecycle process must ensure design safety and continuity until product retirement and discontinuation. The introduction of new medical device products or changes to existing medical device products necessitate design and development activities in order to plan and deliver the appropriate verifications and validations to demonstrate safety and performance of products. Device manufacturers in establishing and applying a Medical Device Product Lifecycle Process must continually ensure the process is fit-for-purpose and that is fulfils its legal and regulatory obligations (e.g. meeting the requirements of 21 CFR 820.30: Medical Devices - Quality System Regulation and ISO 13485: Medical Devices- Quality Management Systems etc.) A Medical Device Product Lifecycle process must be a comprehensive, end-to-end process that encompasses the entire life cycle of a product from project initiation through to product discontinuation and retirement of a marketed product. Making a comprehensive and detailed process intuitive and easy-to-apply should also play a role in designing and maintaining a MDPL process. Structuring the process into specific stages and the use of design review or gate reviews also provides for a format that has milestones and a stage by stage approach that makes it easier for engineers to work with.

Download or read book Emerging Computer Technologies 2 written by Ömer Aydın and published by İzmir Akademi Derneği. This book was released on 2022-12-31 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is rapid development and change in the field of computer science today. These affect all areas of life. Emerging topics in computer science are covered in this book. In the first chapter, a specific IoT application called a smart mailbox with face recognition, which uses cellular connectivity and image processing to securely deliver valuable documents. The prototype for this system includes a fingerprint reader, camera, electromagnetic lock, and various other components connected to an Arduino Uno and a Raspberry Pi, and uses OpenCV and Python software for face detection and recognition. In the second chapter, authors compares and evaluates the main characteristics of 5G channels and the performance of two channel coding candidates, low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes and polar codes. The analysis considers block error rate, bit error rate, computational complexity, and flexibility, and finds that polar codes outperform LDPC code systems, though LDPC is still a viable option compared to other code systems. The third chapter focuses on how to reliably process and store DNA sequences in EHR systems without any modifications. To achieve this, the authors introduce a coding technique and evaluate its effectiveness using the Hamming code and Reed-Solomon coding schemes on a sample data set. The results show that the Reed-Solomon coding scheme outperforms the Hamming code in terms of error detection and correction for securely processing DNA records to EHR systems. The next chapter investigates the robustness of AI models trained on thyroid ultrasound images using different convolutional neural network (CNN) architectures (VGG19, Xception, ResNet50V2, and EfficientNetB2) against adversarial attacks using the fast gradient sign method (FGSM), basic iterative method (BIM), and projected gradient descent (PGD) techniques. In the fifth chapter, it was questioned whether artificial intelligence could write an academic article. In this direction, an academic article was created and evaluated by OpenAI ChatGPT. The final chapter proposes an application to measure RF signal intensities in urban areas and use that information to estimate the amount of energy that can be harvested from these signals. This information is then presented to users through a geographical information system.

Download or read book Value Realization from Efficient Software Deployment written by Alex Louwe Kooijmans and published by IBM Redbooks. This book was released on 2011-10-25 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many companies have a complex process for purchasing software that is required by IT projects, or better, by the business. Usually software is purchased by a centralized procurement function, and is either purchased on a project-by-project basis or as a large periodic software contract. Unfortunately purchasing software products does not automatically mean that these products are exploited throughout the organization providing the maximum possible value to the business units. Several issues call for a structured approach that gets the most business value out of software already purchased. The objectives of this approach are to: Create maximum awareness throughout the organization of the software purchased. Track software use in IT projects and act if products are not used at all, used improperly, or insufficiently used. Facilitate use of software products in projects, especially when software products are complex and require a lot of integration. We can summarize the overall objective of this approach as ensuring that the business units in an organization obtain the maximum possible value of software products purchased, which is also the scope of this IBM® Redbooks® publication.
