...1. (a) What is the difference between an intranet and an extranet Intranet is an internal network. It is used by companies to connect their computers on a network. In general, intranet as a network based on TCP/IP protocols belonging to an organization and only the members of the organization can access the network. However, intranet is inaccessible from the outside. Only the members of the corporation with authorized access the network. Like other networks, the Intranet is mainly used to share data, information, resources, company programs, software applications. Intranet improves the data sharing capability and overall knowledge base of the company’s employees (Difference between Intranet and Extranet). Extranet, is an internal network that can be accessed externally. The extranet is the extension of the company’s intranet where People from outside the company can have a limited access to the company’s internal network for business related purposes. This access is usually granted to the organization’s partners, vendors and potential customers etc (Difference between Intranet and Extranet). Security-wise, Intranets are a lot more secure due to the limited interface with the Internet. Extranets are made less secure not only by the use of the Internet as a medium but also by the fact that the administrators of the Intranet have no control over the networks that connect to the Extranet. When sensitive information is being transmitted on the Intranet, all parties need to take...

Health Affairs: The Policy Journal of the Health Sphere, Web Exclusive, Jan. 19, 2005. Accessed Jan. 22, 2006. http://content.healthaffairs.org/cgi/content/full/hlthaff.w5.10/DC1. The selected article for summarization was prepared by the researchers to access the value of electronic health care information exchange and interoperability (HIEI) between providers (hospitals and medical groups) and independent providers (laboratories, radiology centers, payers, pharmacies, public health departments, etc). The use of information technology by health care providers is intensifying rapidly with President Bush’s support of nation adoption of electronic medical records within the next decade. In addition to the digitizing of patient’s data, information sharing between providers is being explored by policymakers. The concept of interoperability, or the flow of administrative and clinical data between users, software and hardware, encourages information technology investment and health care reform. Research hypothesis The researchers’ hypothesis was “the clinical benefits of electronic...

References Abstract Purpose: New Mexico Heart Institute ( NMHI) has implemented a new electronic medical record system (EMR) to achieve meaningful use. Prior to this implementation, NMHI’s problems were numerous. It had a demanding ambulatory computing setting that caused clinical workflow inefficiencies, eroding physician satisfaction and straining IT resources. Printing was particularly difficult as the laptops could not differentiate when a clinician had moved from one clinic to another intelligently. In addition, slow keyboard-based authentication and login processes were creating more workflow blockages, frustrating caregivers, and increasing patient wait times. Methods: Aventura is context and location aware, a leading provider of awareness computing for the healthcare industry. New Mexico Heart Institute’s partnership with Aventura coincided with two mission-critical projects; this are the organization’s...

...The Benefits and Challenges of Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE): How are physicians affecting implementation? Anita Marban University of Maryland The Benefits and Challenges of Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE): How are physicians affecting implementation? Executive Summary: Physicians have always been the driving force behind the success of new technologies and their effects on healthcare. They are interested in new ways of providing care by utilizing medications or trying new procedures and medical devices. Through research they seek to understand the human body and find cures for the diseases that attack it. They spend years in school and incur debt in upwards of $200,000 dollars before they graduate and have the opportunity to practice independently. Confronted with technology that can improve patient safety by up to 95% and save billions of dollars, they resist change. In the U.S. less than 10% of hospitals and less that 25% of physician offices have fully functioning CPOE systems. Cedars Mt Sinai pulled the plug on their multi-million dollar CPOE system, as did 6 other hospitals because physicians refused to use them. A review of the literature shows that approximately 68% of physicians surveyed identify CPOE as the solution to preventing many medical errors, adopting best-clinical-practices and reducing healthcare costs by billions of dollars annually. It also shows that physicians have issues and concerns with adopting...

...In contemporary healthcare, what is the role of information systems on productivity? Table of Contents Introduction 1 Literature review 2 Problem analysis and discussion 3 Electronic Health Records (EHR): 4 Computerized physician order entry (CPOE): 8 Conclusion 9 Recommendation 10 References 11 Introduction The healthcare industry is undergoing a drastic change in the modern world where the imprints of information technology (IT) are expanding and the combination of these two industries is leading to a new era of computerized hospital information systems. Baker (2008). The importance of information technology cannot be over emphasized for two major reasons, first, where a high level of accuracy is required (which can be fulfilled by digital mediums) and second, where a large size of transactional data exists and the requirement of analyzing this data supersedes (which can be fulfilled by having large databases and analyzing them using IT tools). There are numerous IT based applications in the environment and it has really become a challenge for the CTO of a healthcare facility to decide over the progressive plan for adoption of IT based systems in the purview of health information technology (HIT), computerized physicians order entry (CPOE), electronic health record (EHR) and many other similar programs found across the world. The primary question raised against any kind of IT investment is “how the proposed IT system will improve productivity...

...2. Data mining search parameters A data mining algorithm is a set of heuristics and calculations that creates a data mining model from data. To create a model, the algorithm first analyzes the data you provide, looking for specific types of patterns or trends. The algorithm uses the results of this analysis to define the optimal parameters for creating the mining model. These parameters are then applied across the entire data set to extract actionable patterns and detailed statistics. The mining model that an algorithm creates from your data can take various forms, including: * A set of clusters that describe how the cases in a dataset are related. * A decision tree that predicts an outcome, and describes how different criteria affect that outcome. * A mathematical model that forecasts sales. * A set of rules that describe how products are grouped together in a transaction, and the probabilities that products are purchased together. Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services provides multiple algorithms for use in your data mining solutions. These algorithms are implementations of some of the most popular methodologies used in data mining. All of the Microsoft data mining algorithms can be customized and are fully programmable using the provided APIs, or by using the data mining components in SQL Server Integration Services. You can also use third-party algorithms that comply with the OLE DB for Data Mining specification, or develop custom algorithms that can be...
