the success of a Management Information System in health care a case study from finland
International Journal of Medical Informatics, 2013Co-Authors: Tuula Kivinen, Johanna LammintakanenAbstract:Abstract Purpose The purpose of this article is to describe perspectives on Information availability and Information use among users of a Management Information System in one specialized health care organization. The Management Information System (MIS) is defined as the Information System that provides Management with Information about financial and operational aspects of hospital Management. Methods The material for this qualitative case study was gathered by semi-structured interviews. The interviewees were purposefully selected from one specialized health care organization. The organization has developed its Management Information System in recent years. Altogether 13 front-line, middle and top-level managers were interviewed. The two themes discussed were Information availability and Information use. The data were analyzed using inductive content analysis using ATLAS.ti computer program. Results The main category "usage of Management Information System" consisted of four sub-categories: (1) System quality, (2) Information quality, (3) use and user satisfaction and (4) development of Information culture. Conclusions There were many organizational and cultural aspects which influence the use of MIS in addition to factors concerning System usability and users. The connection between Information culture and Information use was recognized and the managers proposed numerous ways to increase the use of Information in Management work. The implementation and use of Management Information System did not seem to be planned as an essential tool in strategic Information Management in the health care organization studied.

use of gis in the federal emergency Management Information System femis
1995 ESRI user conference Palm Springs CA (United States) 22-26 May 1995, 1995Co-Authors: S Tzemos, R.a. BurnettAbstract:The Federal Emergency Management Information System (FEMIS) is a decision support System that integrates all phases of emergency Management. FEMIS is designed to support the emergency manager in planning, coordination, response, training and exercise. FEMIS uses a classic client-server architecture. The FEMIS component modules include a Human-Computer Interface (HCI), a relational database Management System (RDBMS), an electronic mail System, a report generator, a project Management System, a geographic Information System (GIS), and hazard specific modeling and analysis tools. Of these Systems, the RDBMS and the evacuation model reside on a UNIX platform while all the other software reside on networked personal computer (PC) workstations. ArcView 2.0 is the GIS product used to support FEMIS at each PC workstation. ARC/INFO is loaded on the UNIX-based server and is used to prepare the spatial data. This paper describes the way GIS support for FEMIS was built using Avenue scripts and the inter-process communications available through ArcView 2.0. It also identifies the limitations encountered and the way the HCI was built to overcome them. The final product is a fully integrated responsive, user-oriented decision support System, capable of linking the planning, response, recovery, and mitigation phases of emergency Management.

Federal Emergency Management Information System (FEMIS) Bill of Materials (BOM) for FEMIS Version 1.4.6
1999Co-Authors: Brian J Homer, Ranata L Johnson, Patricia M Fangman, S M Johnson, R M Loveall, B.m. Wood, L.r. Stoops, W.d. Millard, Timothy R DowningAbstract:This document describes the hardware and software required for the Federal Emergency Management Information System version 1.4.6 (FEMIS{copyright} v1.4.6). FEMIS is designed for a single Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program (CSEPP) site that has multiple Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs). Each EOC has personal computers (PCs) that emergency planners and operations personnel use to do their jobs. These PCs are connected via a local area network (LAN) to servers that provide EOC-wide services. Each EOC is interconnected to other EOCS via a Wide Area Network (WAN)

federal emergency Management Information System femis installation guide for femis v1 4 6
Other Information: PBD: 29 Jun 1999, 1999Co-Authors: Jonathan A Arp, Robert A Burnett, Richard J Carter, Brian J Homer, Daniel M Johnson, Timothy R Downing, Julie R Dunkle, Patricia M Fangman, Philip P Gackle, Ranata L JohnsonAbstract:The Federal Emergency Management Information System (FEMIS) is an emergency Management planning and response tool that was developed by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) under the direction of the U.S. Army Chemical Biological Defense Command. The FEMIS System Administration Guide provides Information necessary for the System administrator to maintain the FEMIS System. The FEMIS System is designed for a single Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program (CSEPP) site that has multiple Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs). Each EOC has personal computers (PCs) that emergency planners and operations personnel use to do their jobs. These PCs are corrected via a local area network (LAN) to servers that provide EOC-wide services. Each EOC is interconnected to other EOCs via a Wide Area Network (WAN). Thus, FEMIS is an integrated software product that resides on client/server computer architecture. The main body of FEMIS software, referred to as the FEMIS Application Software, resides on the PC client(s) and is directly accessible to emergency Management personnel. The remainder of the FEMIS software, referred to as the FEMIS Support Software, resides on the UNIX server. The Support Software provides the communication data distribution and notification functionality necessary to operate FEMIS in a networked, client/server environment.

Federal Emergency Management Information System (FEMIS) Bill of Materials (BOM) for FEMIS Version 1.3
1997Co-Authors: M.j. Burford, Ranata L Johnson, R M Loveall, C Winters, Lawrence H Gerhardstein, L.r. Stoops, W.d. Millard, T.j. Martin, B.m. WoodAbstract:This document describes the Bill of Materials (BOM) for the Federal Emergency Management Information System (FEMIS) for version 1.3. FEMIS runs on a client/server platform consisting of a UNIX System, employed as a data server, and personal computers (PCs) using the Windows NT operating System. Servers and PCs require the operating System, utility software, communications and other internal cards that are also listed in the following sections. FEMIS will support the use of Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) software applications and tools. Several configurations are possible at a Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program (CSEPP) site. In this description, a site is understood to be compromised of several installations, including the depot, surrounding Immediate Response Zone (IRZ) and Protective Action Zone (PAZ) counties, and one or more state Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs). In general, the main differences between possible configurations are the number of users at an installation, the location of the UNIX data server(s), and wide area network (WAN) link between installations. The number of PC workstations will vary between installations.
