A Hierarchical Decision Model To Evaluate Healthcare Organization's Readiness To Implement Clinical Decision Support Systems, Mohammed Oussama Laraichi

Dissertations and Theses

Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) are essential tools for healthcare organizations as well as for healthcare providers to improve clinical care. However, successful implementation of CDSS can be challenging. Therefore, before implementing CDSS, it is crucial to assess the readiness of healthcare organizations to implement these tools.

Through a literature review, the first step of this research explores the concept of clinical decision support and CDSS, discussing their features, characteristics, and organizational hurdles to implementation. It also provides perspectives on CDSS adoption in the context of Information Systems and Health Technology. The review helped identify research gaps, objectives, and questions. …

The Ipv6 Internet: An Assessment Of Adoption And Quality Of Services, John Pickard, John Southworth, Dale Drummond

Journal of International Technology and Information Management

The goal of this study is to deliver both an in-depth comprehensive analysis of the current state of IPv6 adoption and an assessment of the quality of services over the IPv6 Internet. Our assessment comprises an examination of eight data sets used to produce a comprehensive picture of IPv6 adoption across 12 metrics. We assessed the quality of services over the IPv6 Internet using eight globally distributed monitoring agents to compare the HTTP load times to targeted websites over IPv6 and IPv4. The results of our analysis confirm the findings of previous studies showing that IPv6 is in an accelerating …

Technology Management Competencies, Mark Doggett, Pam Mcgee, Sophia Scott

Mark Doggett

In order to meet the increasing expectations of industry,

technology management programs combine the application

of technical skills with management competencies. The aim

of the Association of Technology, Management, and Applied

Engineering (ATMAE) is to develop professionals

committed to solving complex technological problems,

while advancing the technologist and applied engineering

workforce. However, there is a wide variability of perceptions

regarding the technologist and the technology manager.

Clarity concerning the required competencies for an entry-

level technology manager is essential. In order for technology

management programs to be relevant, their competencies

must be acknowledged and agreed upon. In addition,

these technology …

Perceptions And Rankings Of Technology Management Competencies, Mark Doggett, Pam Mcgee, Sophia Scott

Mark Doggett

2012 Association of Technology, Management, and Applied Engineering (ATMAE) Conference Proceedings In 2010, the ATMAE Management Division set out to define an applicable technology management body of knowledge using a collection of core competencies. The research incorporated existing models, industry opinions, and educator experts. ATMAE members at both the 2010 and 2011 conferences reviewed initial versions of the competency model. In addition, the model was benchmarked against existing literature and research. The researchers found consistency within the initial versions of the competency model. Interested scholars may find the initial model and supporting rationale in the 2011 ATMAE conference proceedings. This …

Public-Private Partnerships For Technology Growth In The Public Sector, F. Lera-Lopez, Scott Erwin Grasman, Javier Faulin

Engineering Management and Systems Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Public-private partnerships (PPP) are a mechanism for financing large infrastructure development such as transportation projects, hospitals, schools, and public works facilities. In addition, the benefits of PPP stretch well into the realm of engineering management. Most notably, PPPs provide the opportunity for more efficient project management, proficient risk mitigation, and enhanced technological innovation. This paper provides a general description of the typical PPP process and how this process can be used to improve management of technology in the public sector.
