Barriers and success factors in health information technology- practitioners perspective 2010.pdf

there were insufficient data on the cost-effectiveness of these systems and it was not possible to determine the extent to which the demonstrated benefits were generalisable.

and to create data exchange networks is more straightforward. Another structural barrier is the lack of standardisation and certification for EHR and health IT systems

resulting in the lack of system and data interoperability. A contributing factor to the delayed standard adoption is the lack of incentive for data exchange between and among providers as well Kaye, Kokia, Shalev, Idar and Chinitz 166 W s. Maney & Son Ltd. 2010.

and with continuous clinical data exchange taking place in real time. This system with all of its components, was developed over a period of 20 years,

setting stringent standards that all IT vendors had to meet to assure compatibility for purposes of connectivity to enable clinical data exchange,

and to provide ongoing feedback during implementation. 2. A minimum data set was agreed upon, with the gradual addition of new fields and tools over time. 3. It was agreed at a very early stage what the doctor would see first

when he opened the EHR a summary page with the most relevant patient data. 4. In the case of each additional field or tool,

particularly when the EHRS had the capacity to store data with high fidelity, to make those data readily accessible,

and to help translate them into contextspecific information that can empower providers in their work'.

Connectivity and investment in the communication infrastructure for clinical data exchange is a must for a system that will be sustainable over time, in terms of benefit to doctors, patients and the healthcare system.

Given the fact that the data available at regional level remains considerably scarce, the 2012 RIS does not provide an absolute ranking of individual regions,

The data have been normalized using the min-max procedure, the maximum normalised score being thus equal to 1 and the minimum normalised score being equal to 0. Figure 1 presents those regions that have scored above the average(>0. 5) for at least one of the two indicators in discussion (two regions that have scored above 0

Data represent SMES compared to Large firms. In the present analysis we consider sectors defined as all Core NACE rev 2.-Private, nonfinancial activities related to innovation1.

The data suggest that SMES innovate less than large firms across a range of categories including product innovation, process innovation, non-technological innovation, new to market product innovations and collaboration in innovation activities.

providing data and knowledge about local problems and areas of concern. Collecting such data and knowledge over the medium-term on where

when and what type of problems occur also makes it possible to plan and use their maintenance, repair and other resources much more efficiently.

In the Hackney CAB Crowdmap case, it facilitates gathering information and data, assists in analysing the data,

and increases the efficiency of managing and organising campaigns and advocacy. It also supports many of the traditional and physical activities associated with such campaigning.

By sharing data stories and research findings online and via social media, ICT makes it easier for research findings to be found

and other groups as well as data and information sharing across all partners and volunteers in real-time.

By sharing experiences and data on the issue, it also has the potential to help others generate social innovation related to housing.

The two cases show how relevant data, information, finance and volunteers are needed and can be identified

as well as data collection and analysis (for example in Hackney CAB Crowdmap). ICT is also a critical enabler leading to new types of social innovation, for example enabling both quantitiative and qualitative changes in the speed, sophistication and richness of processes and relationships,

It provides a global open data database of over 60 million companies in 75 jurisdictions, together with web scraping, reconciliation functions, analysis and visualisation tools,

all in open format for anyone to use to support an open data community. The main activity is to collaborate with Scraperwiki

to help get corporate data by scraping it from the web. The site also has a Google Refine reconciliation function that matches legal entities to company names.

The core business of Opencorporates is to collect data on companies through web scraping tools and then to visualise the data

For example, every night data is imported from the London Gazette, the Belfast Gazette and the Edinburgh Gazette,

The case also sources data from the UK's Financial services Authority, the US's Central Contracting Registration system,

This data is used often by Opencorporates, as well as independently by third parties, in physical hackathon-type events where data are created and shared, sometimes leading to new products and services.

Online platforms, communities and networks: In the Repair Cafés case, all online platforms used are used, except matching finance to needs:

or apply the open data to the tools they themselves wish to deploy. In both cases, this means that complementary online and offline knowledge communities are created,

online open data and open data communities create new content and knowledge for developing new products and services in for example hackathons and other physical events with economic value

online open data and open data communities, also supporting offline communities, create new content and knowledge for making the corporate world more transparent to citizens, civil groups and governments,

In the Opencorporates case an open 64 Interview with Kate Groves, Director of Marketing and Communications, Streetbank. com, 2014 74 data community has been developed

Opencorporates provides sophisticated data and tools which are applied then in many other contexts by a wide variety of disparate groups,

The Opencorporates case has, alongside many open data portals, barriers like technology scale problems when handling huge amounts of data.

There are some related challenges for Opencorporates around issues like data quality, ownership, data updating, provenance,

if something goes wrong (e g. if data errors lead to wrong conclusions) and the potential misuse of data.

For Opencorporates, the main driving trend is seeing corporate data as well as government and other data as a source of income.

hackathons and other events use the open data and tools provided, so in both cases new shared assets are created both physically and virtually.

Opencorporates inspires a social sharing concept to people who use its data, which is made openly available under the share-alike attribution of the Open Database License.

any product of that data must also be open for others to use. For users who do not give back data,

they pay Opencorporates a fee. Data from Opencorporates is used also in physical events such as hackathons to create new shared assets in the form of new products and services or other content.

Strategic and operational considerations The Repair Cafés case operates in a relatively small, informal and very democratic, transparent and bottom-up manner, with finance,

and as, for example, in hackathons enabled by Opencorporates'data. This links the creation of intangible and virtual shared knowledge assets to the creation of tangible and physical shared assets

In the Opencorporates case, the strategic output is capturing data in searchable maps and visualisations of complex corporate structures with multiple layers of control below the headquarter of the corporations being examine, with, in some examples, thousands of subsidiaries.

One example of this is how Opencorporates has made the often hidden world of some multinationals transparent by visualising the complex corporate structure of Goldman sachs'based on data from public filings and company registrations in the U s.

The completed surveys are uploaded then to a Vecna-hosted server where the data is available for download and reporting.

It creates and produces data by collecting data on the children monitored. Giving information on early childhood development, MONDEY works also to disseminate knowledge on this topic.

the data collection follows a bottom-up approach. MONDEY combines codified knowledge and tacit knowledge existing among researchers worldwide (who can be seen as acting within a network of practice) into explicit knowledge.

At the same time, users help to verify and further knowledge by providing new data. They are doing so by sharing their tacit knowledge filling in the data on the MONDEY platform

or making the filled in short scales available for the MONDEY team or giving feedback during training sessions

Data from the Department for Education shows that, in 2013, Q2l's average score on The english Language Arts state exam was higher than the average overall citywide test score for Middle schools

Also, in the future data generated by MONDEY allows for an evidence-based approach in the development of early childhood education.

To get good norm samples for future research it is paramount to get good data in the first hand.

It is important to have representative data and samples to give realistic feedback to the parents and to advance research.

and thus data needs to be highly secure. Further all of the systems require a high degree of ICT support particularly as such initiatives often operate with less tech-savy user groups such as pedagogues

However Coursera is primarily targeting the educational needs for the higher educated as demographic data for Courserians shows that 75%have a Bachelor's degree or higher.

At the same time it collects data on real developments of young children to establish a database that can be used by researchers.
