Assignment 3: Course Project
Note: At the end of Module 8, you will have a final project of putting together a survey report. This paper will include a supportive rationale for your survey, survey instrument, data file, and analysis plan. Each module you will have an assignment that helps you work toward the goal of completing your final project.
In this module you will work on developing a topic for your survey and identifying your research hypotheses.
An important part of this course is the development of a survey project. There are many steps to successfully completing it, and each module will be arranged to guide you to finishing the project in portions.
To start your project off, you will need to identify your survey topic.
Every survey starts with a purpose, hypothesis, and statement/topic. Before you begin your survey, it is essential that you develop a basic understanding of descriptive and predictive surveys, exploratory research, and how to develop a hypothesis.
Identify a survey topic. Make sure it is narrow.
Identify the main variables of the study you wish to propose. List them below. Put an IV next to the independent variable and a DV next to the dependent variable.
Discuss the purpose of your survey.
Briefly discuss the type of research you are doing as to whether it is causal or correlational. Be sure to refer to Appendix B in your book (Alreck & Settle) to insure you address key issues about external validity.
Develop the hypothesis or hypotheses for your survey. In order to keep your survey focused, you should have no more than 3 sets of hypotheses
Briefly explain how you plan to design your course project. Briefly justify how it is that you think using a survey best serves your research question.
Technology Check-up
Please make sure that you have the SPSS software available to you as stated in the technic.

Case Study: Information Systems in a New Hospital in
Adelaide, South
Australia for operational effectiveness and good customer care
Implementing State of the art Information Systems in a New
Hospital. Imagine a new
hospital is about to be built, for example the new Royal
Adelaide hospital. The directors of
SA Health would like the new hospital to be world class with
the most innovative
information systems including robotics, patient record and case
notes, pharmacy, general
administration (including patient & staff rosters), payroll and
finance systems.
Many of the Royal Adelaide Hospital’s Information systems are
outdated. For example, the
current Patient database, OASIS has been in use for a number of
years, and does not create
case notes electronically. Patient case notes are still stored in
paper form. Linen is stored in
various places and transported around the hospital by staff with
trolleys. Cleaning is done
manually also. Imagine that you have been contracted to
investigate possible innovative
information systems, including robotics to replace the outdated
systems. Your task is to
produce a professional report based on the scenarios as stated
7. above.
Your Group Report must be structured as follows:
1) Introduction (approximately 100 words) – Provide an
overview which clearly states the
aims of the report.
Abdul Rehman
2) Overview of available information systems (approximately
500 words) - Describe the
information systems that will be required for the new hospital
and the staff the will use
them. For example, MYOB could be used by the hospital
finance department, and Orion
Health has a hospital information system that could potentially
be used by
administration staff.
3) Feasibility Study (approximately 300 words)–Explain what
type of feasibility study you
would do before purchasing each hospital information systems.
You should highlight the
challenges and benefits that will bring to the New Hospital in
8. implementing the
proposed systems.
4) Recommendations and Critical Success factors(approximately
200 words) - From your
literature review, provide recommendations as well as critical
success factors for New
Hospital in chosen information systems which would support
its strategy within a
limited amount of capital and other resources.
5) Conclusion (approximately 100 words) – Summarise and
synthesise your report.
Resources
The PIA library portal has links to several academic databases
(e.g., EBSCO) containing
journal articles, e-books, and other resources on this topic.
Google Scholar will also help you
to locate relevant materials. Your report’s analysis and
recommendations should be clearly
explained, logically presented, and firmly based on evidence.
Your aim should be to produce
a report that follows a logical order taking the reader from a
9. situational analysis to your
group’s recommendations and the rationale for these. It is
essential that you carefully cite
and reference (minimum 10 references) appropriate material
supporting your analysis and
recommendations. Failure to do so will attract heavy penalties.
