...Theories of Systems Analysis and Design for Integrated Business Solutions Xin Tian Herzing University Theories of Systems Analysis and Design for Integrated Business Solutions Introduction The word system comes from the Greek work “systema” defined as an organized relationship among functioning components or units. Business system analysis and design breaks down the entity’s components into its basic constituents for the purpose of studying how each component works with other components in the fulfillment of the business purpose (Grady, 2007). Business system analysis and design entails identifying the goals of an enterprise. Next, the analyst develops systems that will fulfill these goals through studying the basic components of the system with the aim of fulfilling the business’ goals in an efficient way. The analysis aspect of the system deals with what the systems should do while the design part outlines how the system will fulfill its purpose. A basic system will consists of two or several interrelated constituents. Each element of the system will consist of three properties. 1) Each component affects the functioning of the entire system. 2. Each component is affected by at least one other component in the system. 3. All subsystems of the components have the first two properties. Systems analysis and design for integrated business solutions entail three levels. The first level is the...

...HSM/220 October 26, 2014 Describe the functions of the six internal consideration and the four internal considerations within a human service organization. When developing an integrated management system for a human service organization it has six internal considerations and four external considerations. The six internal considerations are there so that the organization understands the planning, organizing, directing, control mechanisms, evaluations procedure as well as the reporting procedure that goes into the considerations for the organization from the inside. All of the considerations work together so that it ensures the organizations along with each of their functions is running smoothly and without error or issues. The four external considerations are like the organizations foundations that consist of its visons, principles, architecture and directives these considerations are also known as the IM or Internal management system. The four external considerations are the proper mixture that makes sure that everything is running efficiently so that there are no problems being caused that may conflict with data analysis and, or storage. Each of these ten considerations plays an important part in making sure that the architectural components such as information, requirements, activities, roles and data optimization are handled accordingly. Each of these observations directly influences the human service organizations visions and their principles when shaping the...

...Integrated Delivery Systems What conditions need to be in place for an integrated delivery system to work properly and achieve the financial benefits possible from such a system? Integrated healthcare systems offer an array of healthcare services as a chain; in fact integrated delivery systems are forms of joint ventures. For such a system to work properly, its primary focus should be making sure it meets the local population’s general health needs. An integrated healthcare system should be able to match the services required and must have the capacity to take care of the population’s requirements and the care offered must be coordinated and integrated across the continuum. It should have a management information system good enough to link its patients, the providers and payers across the whole system. An integrated healthcare system should be able use financial incentives and the organization’s structures to support day to day running, physicians in the network and other caregivers so as to meet the goals of the organization. Care provided must be continuously improved and the integrate network should be willing to work with others in the region to make sure that the community’s health objectives are fulfilled in continuum of care. Cost effective measures that still fulfill good patient care must be used because one of the main objectives of the integrated care system is providing care in the lowest cost setting, Gapenski 2012 (p.15). The success of integrated health...

CORE VALUES R- ighteous, results-based and responsible governance M- oral courage, integrity and honesty T- ransparency, trust and respect for self and others U- nity in diversity and being one the community BRIEF HISTORY The Ramon Magsaysay Technological University, a merger of three public education institutions in the province of Zambales, was established by virtue of Republic Act 8498 enacted on February 12, 1998 through the initiative of Antonio M. Diaz. The University Charter integrated the former Ramon Magsaysay Polytechnic College (RMPC) in Iba, the Western Luzon Agricultural College (WLAC) in San Marcelino, an the Candelaria School of Fisheries (CSF), after a three-year transition period. The strengths of its parents-institutions, which had existed since the early 1990s served RMTU’s springboard for its accelerated growth and development. The RMPC in 1998, which is now RMTU’s main Campus, was found as a farm school in 1910. It was converted into a provincial trade in 1919. Through the years, it metamorphosed into Zambales Trade School on 1993., Western Luzon School of Arts and Trades in 1953, Zambales Scool of Arts and Trades in 1957, Ramon Magsaysay Memorial School of Arts and Trades in 1961. It became a DECS supervised College (RMPC) in 1993 and chartered state...

...There are three types of airports identified by the National Plan and Integrated Airport System (NIPAS). Those types of airports are commercial service airport, general aviation airport, and reliever airport. The NPIAS contains 3,331 existing airports and 14 proposed airports that are anticipated open between 2015 and 2019. (FAA, National Plan of Integrated Airport System Report to Congress 2015 – 2019). The first type to be discussed is the commercial service airport, which is divided into two categories, primary and non-primary. A non-primary airport is a public-use airport that receives scheduled air carrier service and enplanes at least 2,500 but less than 10,000 passengers annually. An example of a non-primary commercial service airport...

...Electronic Design Automation and the Design of Integrated Circuits Abstract A circuit, simply put, is defined as a complete path around which an electric current can flow in order to complete a predesigned task. Circuit design is the intermediate process by which electrical circuits are moved from the specification stage - where the circuit’s purpose is determined - to the production stage, where all of the information necessary to build a working circuit is ready for implementation. In order to keep up with demand for consumer electronics, a fast and efficient way to design and construct the myriad types of circuitry must be in place. This essay will illustrate the basics of circuit design and describe the automated circuit design process. Electronic Design Automation In a large part of the world, electronics are a mainstay of modern society. In the beginning, electronics were much more simple in design, but with the caveat of being much larger today: in the 1980s cellular phones weighed upwards of two pounds and were about three times the size of modern cell phones. Over time, as electronics became smaller and as demand for them increased, a way to design and construct smaller and more efficient circuits became necessary. Enter Electronic Design Automation. An electric circuit is an electrical path that provides a path for an electrical current to flow. While it may seem like a simple matter to design and construct a circuit, the process has become quite intensive...

...silicon have made these developments in microelectronics possible. Silicon based microelectronic devices have revolutionized our world in the past three decades. Integrated circuits, built up from many silicon devices (such as transistors and diodes) on a single chip, control everything from cars to telephones, not to mention the Internet. Silicon technology is still the most reliable and cost-efficient way to fabricate large microelectronic circuits. Semiconductors have played an amazing role and have impacted technology in many ways. Every technology product we use in the modern world is created with silicon and depends on semiconductors. The earliest semiconductor device was a diode which let electricity flow in only one direction. Integrated circuits are called micro chips which are complex circuits that are made of many miniature chips of semiconductor and made of silicon. These chips are packaged in a plastic casing and the fine wires inside the chip link to the pins outside. Microchip is the integration of a whole CPU onto a single chip or on a few chips and greatly reduced the cost of processing power. The integrated circuit processor is produced in large numbers by highly automated processes.

...Week 6 Discuss the differences between HIPAA and the Privacy Act of 1974. The Privacy Act protected identifiable medical records by determining the “legal authority for collecting and storing the records, individuals about whom records will be collected, what kinds of information will be collected, and how the records will be used.” It did not apply to or anticipate electronic records, and it only bound federal agencies. HIPAA applied to all electronic records and provided greater specificity regarding data collection and storage. Week 7 Name each of the six components of a computer system and indicate the function of each. Central Processing Unit (CPU)- is where the actual computing takes place which includes three major subcomponents: arithmetic/logic unit (ALU), control unit and registers. The speed and power of the CPU influences the computers capabilities. Primary Storage- is the internal memory where data is stored for access by the CPU Secondary Storage- consists of devices and media designed to maintain small or large quantities of data. Input Devices- is a way of entering data into the computer in different formats; keyboard, scanning and voice input. Users can select the input that meets their organization criteria in order to enter data. Output Devices- data is processed and can be used by the user via printed form, digitally for future processing, audio or spoken form. Outputs of healthcare managers are visual displays, printed documents and audio...

...Generation [ Transistors ] The replacement of vacuum tubes by transistors saw the advent of the second generation of computing. Although first invented in 1947, transistors weren’t used significantly in computers until the end of the 1950s. They were a big improvement over the vacuum tube, despite still subjecting computers to damaging levels of heat. However they were hugely superior to the vacuum tubes, making computers smaller, faster, cheaper and less heavy on electricity use. They still relied on punched 1964 – 1971: Third Generation [ Integrated Circuits ] By this phase, transistors were now being miniaturised and put on silicon chips (called semiconductors). This led to a massive increase in speed and efficiency of these machines. These were the first computers where users interacted using keyboards and monitors which interfaced with an operating system, a significant leap up from the punch cards and printouts. This enabled these machines to run several applications at once using a central program which functioned to monitor memory. 1972 – 2010: Fourth Generation [ Microprocessors ] This revolution can be summed in one word: Intel. The chip-maker developed the Intel 4004 chip in 1971, which positioned all computer components (CPU,...
