Lab Review Material that will be on the exam

Where to find Material Course Website Calendar –Lecture Slides (PowerPoint) –Assigned Reading Blackboard –Cases –Lab Slides (PowerPoint)

Intro Lab This lab was just a system test Not important

GIS Lab Geographic Information Systems –MapInfo World Trade Center Case –GIS would have helped responders –Now, GIS systems are used by Fire, Police, Rescue, Disaster Management Teams –GIS systems are decision support systems –Used in marketing, store placement, geographic planning

GIS Lab Attributes of Information –For WTC Case, these attributes were important: Timely, Accessible, Relevant, Reliable, Accurate, Flexible, Simple, Complete –These were NOT important Economical, Secure, Verifiable

HIPPA / HIPAA Lab Health Insurance Portability & Privacy Act –OR Portability and Accountability Act GE Centricity System –MIS System used by Indiana Heart Hospital HIPPA requires Hospitals and Insurance Providers to take care of information –GE Centricity helps and creates numerous advantages.

HIPPA / HIPAA Lab We also analyze Centricity using CMC tools. –CMC: Computer Mediated Collaboration Attributes of Information come up again. HIPPA demands that information be both –Secure and Accessible / Flexible –This contradiction creates challenges for hospitals and insurance providers

GE Centricity System Goals? Stakeholders? Inputs? | Outputs? Reduce Cost (paperwork), reduce errors, increase efficiency, better patient care. GE, Insurance Providers, Hospital itself, Nurses, Doctors, Patients Data provided by patients (History, allergies, etc.); Data provided by insurance carriers (Coverage, limits, co-pay, etc.); Data from equipment Information: Bill of services rendered, formatted patient chart (electronic)

GE Centricity System Processing? Feedback? Type of System? Functional Area? Plotting patients vital signs on a chart; Summarizing a patients visit history; Sorting patients by priority level. Average patient wait time, recovery time, etc. Number of errors, injuries, patients seen, etc. MIS (maybe ECS) Operations (in manufacturing its called production)

Centricity: Big Picture People Data Hardware Software Communication Network Same as stakeholders Medical records, equipment data, insurance info. Medical equipment, tablet PCs, touch screens GE Centricity Wifi Network

GIS & WTC: Big Picture People Data Hardware Software Communication Network Victims, Responders Spatial Data, Arial Images, Hazardous materials data Radios, GPS devices, Portable computers MapInfo Radio, WiFi, Satellite

Excel Lab Return on Investment from GE Centricity System –Spreadsheet makes things easier to calculate Megan Davis Convention Center –RAW DATA: Reservations for the entire year –INFORMATION: Average room charge Average length of stay Total Revenue from each Room

Excel Lab VLOOKUPS and IF statements Big Picture: –How to transform raw data to information –Excel allows for some serious information processing –Imagine if there were 100 rooms and 20,000 reservations.

DB versus SS Lab Spreadsheets –Data Redundancy (duplication) –Lack of Integrity Volitale sorting Zip Code:  1234 Databases are not good for –Calculations, Math Functions –Charts, Graphics, etc. –Databases are generally not as intuitive as spreadsheets –But, you can program an intuitive user interface
