Peoples in this world is increasing in term of numbers. They need to feed themselves in order survives. Thus they need money and to get money they need a job. But if there is no job for people to survive peoples will suffer from it. On the other hand, information systems is really good for our society because it can assist people to do their work efficiently.

...SOCIAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL IMPACTS OF A MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM The society in which we live has been so profoundly affected by information systems that historians refer to the present time as the information age. This is due to our ability to collect, process, store, disseminate and manipulate large amount of information using information system. A Management Information System (MIS) is an information system that provides corporate information to management of a company. It can also be defined as a computerized system that provides corporate information to aid the management of a company. The role of the MIS in an organization can be compared to the role of heart in the body. The Management Information System plays the role of information generation, communication, problem identification and helps in the process of decision making. The MIS, therefore, plays a vital role in the management, administration and operations of an organization. Since the MIS plays a very important role in the organization, it creates an impact of the organization .The manager’s attention is brought to a situation which is expected in nature, inducing him to take an action or a decision in the matter. It also creates another impact in the organization which relates to the understanding of the business itself. The MIS begins with the definition of data, entity and its attributes.

...Use of Health Information Technology and its impact on the United States Health Care System 1. Information technology in health care Health care experts, policymakers, payers, and consumers consider health information technologies, such as electronic health records and computerized provider order entry, to be critical to transforming the health care industry (1–7). Information management is fundamental to health care delivery (8). Given the fragmented nature of health care, the large volume of transactions in the system, the need to integrate new scientific evidence into practice, and other complex information management activities, the limitations of paper-based information management are intuitively apparent. While the benefits of health information technology are clear in theory, adapting new information systems to health care has proven difficult and rates of use have been limited (9–11). Most information technology applications have centered on administrative and financial transactions rather than on delivering clinical care (12).

What if the study had shown the emergency department (ED) was implementing a lab information system rather than an EMR, How would that impact patient flow? Explain. 2. What would have changed if the implementation was planned for the early summer or late spring? 3. What elements are needed in order to ensure patient safety? 4. Depending on your discipline, address one of the following questions (you may respond to both, if desired): As a nurse manager, what would you like to have seen done differently with the implementation? As the office manager, you oversee the staffs who admit patients to both the ED and overflow clinic. What could you have done differently to make the implementation go more smoothly? 5. The next phase of the EMR implementation plan involves the ICU and NICU. What recommendations would you make to modify the implementation plan based on the ED experience? Explain. 6. After reading this case, how will you use the lessons learned to implement your group project? In my case study I will discuss the impact on the workflow in the Emergency Room (ER) when lab information system is implemented. I will discuss any impact on the patient flow thru the ER and the turnaround time (TAT) for lab results and any effects on the patient’s length of stay (LOS).

...UNIT4 IMPACT OF THE USE OF IT ON BUSINESS SYSTEMS P2-D1 The impact changes that will have on Tesco's are: -Cost -Impact on procedures -Impact on staff -Interrogation of legacy systems -Security -Legal requirements EXTERNAL PRESSURES It is very important to keep up with competitors, this is important because if ASDA has better offers than Tesco’s people will stop going to Tesco and start going to ASDA this will have a bad impact on Tesco. This will have an impact on Tesco’s because they will start to lose profit so it is important for Tesco’s to have better offers then ASDA so that the costumers will stay at Tesco’s and more people will start to shop at Tesco leading to an increase in profit. ENHANCED BUSINESS OPERTUNITY Costumers want new products the companies that are not able to demand the costumers request could start to lose profit. An example is if Tesco’s didn’t respond to the request of the public and ASDA did then all the people that shopped in Tesco’s will go to ASDA therefore Tesco will start to lose costumers leading to less profit. So it is important that Tesco’s improves costumer service so that these demands are responded to. COST When Tesco's purchase new IT systems like self checkout tilts it is a positive impact on Tesco. It is a positive impact on Tesco's because they don’t have to pay there staff because they are being replaced by these self checkout tilts therefore Tesco will save money because staff are not being paid.

...Implementing a remote access to the organizations computers while keeping it secure via firewalls and VPN server will ensure protection from outside intruders. I recommend that you install a VPN server as well as Remote access security. One firewall with Network Address Translation (NAT) this will add to the security that will not be visible outside of the organization and another firewall without NAT which will be visible outside of the organization. Network Security Plan Purpose Computer and network security incidents have become a fact of life for most organizations that provide networked information technology resources including connectivity with the global Internet. Current methods of dealing with such incidents are at best piecemeal relying on luck, varying working practices, good will and unofficial support from a few individuals normally engaged in central network or systems support. This approach undoubtedly leads to inefficiencies and associated problems with respect to: * · Duplicated effort * · Inappropriate actions * · Poor co-ordination * · Confusion - No obvious authority, identifiable responsibilities or overall management * · Tardy incident detections and resolution times * · Missed, unreported or ignored...

...PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT OF THE IMPACT OF E-COMMERCE TECHNOLOGIES IN SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT This empirical study assesses the organizational impact of using eCommerce technologies in supply chain management utilizing the following constructs: system quality, information quality, system usage, and user satisfaction. A sample data set was collected from maquiladoras in Juárez, Mexico to investigate relationships among these constructs. A SEM analysis was undertaken, using AMOS, on the dataset. The analysis provided statistically significant relationships among some constructs. Keywords: Supply Chain Management, eCommerce Technologies, e-Enabled Supply Chain Management INTRODUCTION The use of eCommerce technologies (the Internet/World Wide Web, intranets, and extranets) in supply chain management (SCM) is a relatively recent phenomenon. Accordingly, very few studies have been conducted to date on the extent to which eCommerce technologies have been utilized in SCM, and, more importantly, on whether or not e-enabled supply chain management (eSCM), with the use of such technologies, has brought about improvements in managing supply chains. DeLone and McLean [1] proposed interrelationships among six IS dimensions in what is referred to as the ‘DeLone and McLean (D&M) IS Success Model’. The six dimensions in the D&M model are (1) system quality, (2) information quality, (3) system usage, (4) user satisfaction, (5) individual impact, and (6) organizational impact.
