Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Healthcare transformation requires us to continually look at new and better ways to manage insights – both within and outside the organization. Increasingly, the ability to glean and operationalize new insights efficiently as a byproduct of an organization’s day-to-day operations is becoming vital for hospitals and health systems to survive and prosper. One of the long-standing challenges in healthcare informatics has been the ability to deal with the sheer variety and volume of disparate healthcare data and the increasing need to derive veracity and value out of it. This book addresses several topics important to the understanding and use of data in healthcare. First, it provides a formal explanation based on epistemology (theory of knowledge) of what data actually is, what we can know about it, and how we can reason with it. The culture of data is also covered and where it fits into healthcare. Then, data quality is addressed, with a historical appreciation, as well as new concepts and insights derived from the author’s 35 years of experience in technology. The author provides a description of what healthcare data analysis is and how it is changing in the era of abundant data. Just as important is the topic of infrastructure and how it provides capability for data use. The book also describes how healthcare information infrastructure needs to change in order to meet current and future needs. The topics of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in healthcare are also addressed. The author concludes with thoughts on the evolution of the role and use of data and information going into the future.

Download or read book Information Technology and Organizations Strategies Networks and Integration written by Brian P. Bloomfield and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 1997-03-27 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is concerned with the ways in which organizations design, build and use information technology systems. In particular it looks at the interaction between these IT-centred activities and the broader management processes within organizations. The authors adopt a critical social science perspective on these issues, and are primarily concerned with advancing theoretical debates on how best to understand the related processes of technological and organizational change. To this end, the book examines and deploys recent work on power/knowledge, actor-network theory and critical organization theory. The result is an account of the nature and significance of information systems in organizations which is an alternative perspective to pragmatic and recipe-based approaches to this topic which dominate much contemporary management literature on IT.

Some major firms have sophisticated strategies for using information technology to impact, control and even own their competitive environments. This book describes how major non-information technology companies are doing this and the strategic principles employed.

Download or read book A Concise Introduction to Information Technology written by Randy Kaplan and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-10 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about Information Technology (Systems). Information Technology because is the stuff from which Information Technology (Systems) are made. The term "system" places the phrase "information technology" in a certain context. In effect the term "system" organizes information technology in such a way to carry out specific goals with information technology. To understand Information Technology Systems, one must understand the information technologies that make up those systems. This book will focus on what is important about Information Technology Systems in a concise well focused manner. Today, many books have achieved the notable classification of "bloat-ware." Bloat-ware as it is applied to software refers to software that is far too complex for its purpose. Of the total number of features and aspects of any complex piece of software a person may use, on a regular basis, about 20% of the features of that software. What about all of the "other stuff?" It may be used sometimes but the reality is that such features are not used often. The inclusion of every possible feature under the sun in a piece of software causes that software to be classified as bloat-ware. It is my belief that book authors and publishers wish to achieve the same result - to produce all inclusive textbooks on particular topics. The result are books that include far more than they need to to describe any particular subject. Rather then a book that tries to include every facet about Information Technology, it is my intention to take the "Dragnet" approach in this particular book. Those of us who remember this show, remember that one of the signature statements of one of the detectives was "Just the facts ..." The detective wasn't interested in every little bit of information. They were interested in the relevant information that would help them solve a particular case. This book is just about the facts as they apply to Information Technology Systems. Many books about information technology systems contain case studies to help the reader understand the concepts that are being presented. This book will not include any case studies. Case studies, although sometimes instructional are far too costly to include in textbooks. They tend to go out of date quickly and therefore must be updated frequently. Furthermore the scope of a case study as it evolves may become unwieldy thus making it necessary to edit the study. What is chosen to edit out of the case study may be an important aspect to some readers while not important to others. How can these decisions be made? A more practical approach is to include case studies by referral (if necessary) and not as part of the actual textbook. Textbooks are excellent for information that does not change whereas they are an extremely poor medium for aspects of information that change often. Specific technologies might change often and frequently within information technology but the classes of those technologies do not tend to change as often and therefore have a place in a textbook. This book will differ from others in that it will contain "the facts, and only the facts." Anything else, the reader can follow up themselves.
