...This case study investigates the healthcare informatics processes and technology in improving the accurate entry of patient data and summarizes nursing research regarding data integrity. The case study examines the impact of consequences of the use of Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems on the quality of care and proposed solutions to address accidental EHR-related mistakes. In this case study every diagnostic procedure was done correctly and promptly for patient`s well-being, while poor and improper entry of the patient’s data led to jeopardizing the integrity of information, and further endangering patient safety or decreasing quality of patient care. One of the methods to ensure data accuracy is to ask the patient to verify data that is collected during admission and assessment processes. This verification may be accomplished through: verbal confirmation, reviewing data by patient on selected computer screen or tablet, and reviewing printouts by client of entered data. Each of these methods has possible problems. Patient may not be English proficient, the atmosphere in the emergency room may be too fast paced for the patient to be able to accurately review the data or patient may have verbal or vision weakness. Usually, electronic health records data entry result in faults due to software design flaws, poor decision support rules, inadequate user training, system performance issues, human error, interruptions by colleagues while submitting patient data, or use of the...

...Case Study: LJB Company Internal Control Recommendations There are two primary goals of internal controls. The first is to safeguard its assets from employee theft, robbery, and unauthorized use. The second goal is to enhance the accuracy and reliability of its accounting records. This is done by reducing the risk of errors and fraudulent activities in the accounting process. Public companies are now required by regulations Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) among them to formalize control procedures in writing. Privately held companies and other organizations also have an interest in the benefits that result from formalizing and documenting their internal control procedures. Companies must develop sound principles of control over financial reporting and continually assess that the controls are working. The new rules require management to disclose to the public any material weakness identified by management. The report must also state that the company’s independent public accountant who audited the financial statements included in the annual report has attested to and reported on management’s evaluation of internal control over financial reporting. This new attestation requirement under Section 404 expands the scope of the accounting firm’s audit procedures beyond the work required solely to render an opinion on the financial statements (1). Without adequate controls to ensure the proper recording of transactions, the resulting financial data may become unreliable and undermine...

...Summary. Various anthropometric studies have been conducted in the last decade in order to investigate how different physiological or behavioral human characteristics can be used as identity evidence to prove the individuality of each person. Some of these characteristics are: face, eyes, ears, teeth, fingers, hands, feet, veins, voice, signature, typing style and gait. Since the first biometric security systems appeared in the market, an increasing demand for novel techniques that will cover all different scenarios, has been observed. Every new method appears to outmatch some of its competitors but, at the same time, presents disadvantages compared to others. However, there is still no method that consists a single panacea to all different scenarios and demands for security. This is the reason for which researchers are on a continuous effort for more efficient and generic biometric modalities that can be used in various applications. In this chapter, emerging biometric modalities that appeared in the last years in order to improve the performance of biometric recognition systems, are presented. The presented methods are divided in two major categories, intrusive and non-intrusive ones, according to the level of user nuisance that each system sets off. 1 Introduction Biometric recognition is a well-known research area that aims to provide more efficient solutions to everyday growing human need for security. Biometrics refers to methods that can be used for uniquely recognizing...

This is why central bank have been active in promoting sound and efficient payments system and in seeking the means to reduce risks associated with the system. Nigeria historically operated a cash-driven economy particularly in the consumer sector, however the system has witnessed improvements over the years, and particular in recent times has moved from its rudimentary level of the early years of banking business to the current state of sophistication comparable to other economies at the same level of development.

However, today the internet has changed the way business is conducted with the introduction of e-commerce.

This trend has been facilitated by falling trade barriers, more efficient logistics, the emergence of country specific portals, and web exchanges. One form of e-commerce is B2B (Business to Business) transactions. Several sites world-wide are considered bazaars of international trade that facilitate B2B transactions such as: www.Koreatradeworld.com, www.Trade-india.com, www.bizeurope.com, www.tradekey.com and others. The mission of these sites is to connect sellers in one place with buyers in another place in an effort for buyers and sellers of everything to find each other, negotiate the terms of trade, and seal the deal.

...AND STUDIES This chapter presents the related literature and studies after the thorough and in-depth search done by the researchers. This will also present the synthesis of the art, theoretical and conceptual framework to fully understand the research to be done and lastly the definition of terms for better comprehension of the study. Related Literature All computer scientists who have done work in or are interested in electronic voting seem to agree that online voting does not meet the requirements for public elections and that the current widely-deployed voting systems need improvement. Voting on the Internet has disadvantages based on the areas of secrecy and protection against coercion and/or vote selling. It's such a truly bad idea that there seems to be no credible academic effort to deploy it at all. The Kenyan General elections of 2007 brought national attention to problems with current methods of casting and counting votes in public elections. Most people believe that the current system should be changed; there is much disagreement on how such changes should be made.c really can't trust any code which we did not create ourselves. Therefore, they tend to be extremely suspicious of proprietary voting machines and their makers who insist that we should “just trust [them].” Neumann gives a list of suggestions for "generic voting criteria" which suggests that a voting system should be so hard to tamper with and so resistant to failure that no commercial system is...
