Unstructured Data into EHR Systems: Challenges and SolutionsDATAMARK
This document discusses the challenges healthcare organizations face in managing unstructured data within electronic health record (EHR) systems. Unstructured data, such as scanned reports, medical images, and handwritten notes, accounts for around 80% of healthcare data but is difficult to incorporate into EHRs which are designed for structured data. Electronic document management systems (EDMS) that use technologies like automated data capture and document management can help healthcare organizations bring unstructured data into EHR systems and create a complete patient record. However, implementing an EDMS is a complex process that requires expertise to develop an enterprise content management strategy and properly integrate the necessary technologies.

Abercrombie & Fitch Centralizes and Expands Abercrombie .docxransayo
Abercrombie & Fitch Centralizes and Expands
Abercrombie & Fitch is an international clothing retailer that learned the importance of efficient data
management when expanding internationally. Because of the lower promotional costs and higher
profits, international expansion was attractive to A&F. After launching their international strategy in
Canada and the U.K. in 2006 and 2007, respectively, A&F could see further international growth on the
horizon. However, it knew its data management was not capable of handling the level of growth that
was expected. A&F’s financial visibility of merchandising was dismal. A&F managers were using
spreadsheets of data to plan future merchandise levels, making any conclusions as to whether they
were over- or underbuying merchandise virtually inconceivable. Floor space layouts were designed
based on merchandise allocations assigned by merchandising managers. If the merchandise allocation
was inaccurate or became delayed, the floor space had to be redesigned because the merchandise
that was planned to go on display was not at the store in time. Store managers began to overstock
merchandise to prevent these occurrences. All merchandise was shipped to the A&F distribution base
in Columbus, Ohio and stayed there until it was called upon by an individual store. This made it difficult
to efficiently restock inventory in overseas locations. The previously stated flaws in A&F’s erchandising
system and adjoining distribution system were too great to sustain the international growth they wanted
to pursue. To support the data influx that comes with international growth like A&F experienced, they
needed an open operating platform and integrated point-of-sale (POS) infrastructure in order to keep
the closest eye on transactional data. For an international retail company, the data accessible today is
used to make decisions that have impacts far into the future. Without the appropriate data at the
appropriate time, the wrong decisions can easily be made and the company can suffer severe
consequences. A&F chose to install the Oracle Retail Merchandising system in its headquarters in
Columbus, Ohio. Transactional data from all store locations, domestic and international, is centrally
managed there. A&F also implemented changes to the front lines. They used Oracle’s Retail Point-of-
Sale Software System (ORPOS) to collect real-time data from their 1,100 store locations across the
globe. Each store was connected to a regional database that manages up to 30 stores. With all data
visible to headquarters in Ohio, A&F’s merchandising managers had all the information they needed to
make educated decisions, in one location. Transactional data from all departments including supply
chain, inventory management, and POS processing are now all visible on an international scale. Since
installing the platform, inventory order accuracy has increased from 94 percent to 100 percent.
Additionally, A&F’s internationa.

The document discusses accelerating healthcare organizations' move to value-based care through achieving information management maturity. It describes three key steps:
1. Developing an information management strategy, including conducting a data asset inventory, business workload analysis, and architectural component mapping to create a 3-5 year execution roadmap.
2. Implementing better data governance and improving data quality through evaluating and enhancing processes.
3. Modernizing existing business intelligence and data investments to achieve a more mature "Data 3.0" environment where data is actionable, explainable, trusted and contextualized.
The summary highlights the main points about the three key steps discussed in the document for achieving information management maturity to support the transition
This document discusses preparing healthcare organizations for a digital future. It explains that electronic health records and digital health information systems can improve patient care by giving providers a comprehensive digital view of a patient's health history. However, digital transformation requires new tools to securely manage both structured data and unstructured information like medical images. The document recommends that healthcare organizations implement an enterprise content management system to collect, manage, and act as a repository for both structured and unstructured patient information across departments. This will help improve efficiency, collaboration, and regulatory compliance while reducing costs.
The document discusses questions regarding a healthcare system's vendor selection process for an IT project. It recommends the types of information an organization should provide to vendors in a Request for Information (RFI) and gather from vendors in the early planning stages. This includes vendor background, technical requirements, functionality, implementation processes, and training. An RFP with more specific details is issued to a select few vendors.

2. Going paperless:
Ensuring that the procurement division has
the most appropriate tool and synchronizing
information flow to improve efficiencies,
reduce waste and manage long-term costs
Ensuring purchasing process integration with
SAP through material management as well as
setting corresponding policies and
procedures
Evaluating crucial points to consider whilst
negotiating contracts for major/capital
medical equipment and services
3. When people hear the phrase
“going paperless,”
they often assume they’ll no longer be using paper
in daily tasks or even have access to it in their
office. This obviously isn’t true or practical. Going
paperless means using paper wisely and sparingly
and finding effective alternatives.
4. Consider these statistics:
o Organizations spend in labor costs (on average): $20 to file a
document, $120 to find a misfiled document, and $220 to
reproduce a lost document.
o Of all documents, 7.5 percent get lost; 3 percent of the
remainder get misfiled.
o Professionals spend 5–15 percent of their time reading
information, but up to 50 percent looking for it.
o The average cost to process a single invoice manually is $24.
o Of 1,200 organizations surveyed, 40 percent indicated
disaster recovery planning is not a priority.
o Two out of five companies that experience a disaster are out
of business in five years.

5. Advantages:
To overcome problems and delay when transferring paper medical
records.
To improve problems with loss or misplacement of physical paper
records and record envelopes.
To save time spent on handling paper records.
Information can be shared more easily.
Email and intranet communication within the practice reduce internal
paper flows, telephone calls and faxes.
Increase in security and confidentiality because it is easier to control and
audit access to records.
Opportunity to improve the existing electronic patient records (EPR).
More efficient and effective consultations (all information is available and
up-to-date(
Mixing of paper and electronic records causes confusion.
Patient access to records can be an advantage (more transparency,
equality within the doctor-patient relationship(
6. Disadvantages:
Data security.
Document managing and scanning have proved problematic.
Lack of IT standards for GP staff.
Problems with data backup (if data are lost or if a system goes down)
Lack of national protocol.
Lack of internal protocols within a practice.
Staff training (time, costs, standards)
Fear of change and the unknown.
Health and safety issues regarding more time spent at a
screen/monitor.
Less effective consultations, as dominated by technology (but patients
do not seem to complain)
It takes more time for clinicians to read documents such as clinical
letters on screen.
7. Traditional telecommunication companies are heavily involved in
“Paperless” healthcare markets
Germany’s e-health smartcard project
Austria’s the NÖMED WAN-project. connecting all public hospitals
there via a Master Patient Index that uses the Austrian E-Card for patient
identification.
In Spain, installed a regional health network that uses an SAP based
medication module, which enables a large number of primary care
centers to do electronic prescriptions.
In Saudi Arabia, the new ongoing project for Electronic Medical
Records (EMR) across its health system particularly the integration of
diverse information systems. It effectively linking an EMR to existing
and future systems, at hospital, regional and national levels.
Traditional telecommunication companies will not develop its own next
generation HIS which is important, but it is certainly not indispensable to life.
Their key expertise lies in system integration.
8. HIMSS
Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society
HIMSS is a cause-based, not-for-profit organization
exclusively focused on providing global leadership for the
optimal use of information technology (IT) and
management systems for the betterment of healthcare.
Saudi hospital first in the Middle East to achieve global
recognition for its healthcare IT. HIMSS Analytics Asia
announced King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research
Center (KFSH&RC) in Riyadh and Jeddah, Saudi Arabia,
has achieved Stage 6 on the Electronic Medical Record
Adoption Model (EMRAM). And recently in UAE,
Corniche Hospital and University Hospital Sharjah.

10. Definitions:
Clinical decision support system (CDSS)
Computerized physician order entry (CPOE)
Computerized assessment system (CDR system)
Continuity of Care Document (CCD)
It is a standard intended to specify the encoding, structure,
and semantics of a patient summary clinical document for
exchange
Closed Loop Medication Application
It is a process to ensure automated validation of medications
and patient identity matching.
11. Going Paperless
It is not just a computer upgrade,
It's a change in the way we
operate.
13. HIS
International Conference on Social Science and Humanity
had Described:
"Hospital Information Systems can be defined as massive,
integrated systems that support the comprehensive
information requirements of hospitals, including patient,
clinical, ancillary and financial management." ……."
Hospitals are becoming more reliant on the ability of
hospital information system (HIS) to assist in the diagnosis,
management and education for better and improved
services and practices. In health organization such as
hospitals, implementation of HIS inevitable due to many
mediating and dominating factors such as organization,
people and technology."
14. ERP
ERP is short for enterprise resource planning.
It is business management software that allows an
organization to use a system of integrated
applications to manage the business. ERP software
integrates all facets of an operation, including
product planning, development, manufacturing
processes, sales and marketing.
15. ERP Software Modules
ERP software typically consists of multiple enterprise
software modules that are individually purchased,
based on what best meets the specific needs and
technical capabilities of the organization. Each ERP
module is focused on one area of business processes,
such as product development or marketing. Some of
the more common ERP modules include those for
product planning, material purchasing, inventory
control, distribution, accounting, marketing, finance
and HR.
16. The basic goal for ERP is to provide
one central repository for all
information that is shared by all the
various ERP facets in order to smooth
the flow of data across the
organization.
17. ERP Vendors
The ERP market for large enterprises (ERP Tier I) is
dominated by three companies: SAP, Oracle and Microsoft.
For the midmarket (ERP Tier II) vendors include Infor,
QAD, Lawson, Epicor, Sage and IFS.
For small Business ERP (ERP Tier III), Exact Globe, Syspro,
NetSuite, Visibility, Consona, CDC Software and Activant
Solutions round out the ERP vendors for small businesses.

18. ERP
One of the benefits; - Integrating between the
different modules in order to facilitate
transforming the information between modules
and saving the efforts & required time for
recording the information again in more than one
module.
Can be utilized as a requisitioning and
procurement productivity suite that is flexible and
scalable to meet your business needs, giving you
the power to enhance, manage and control any
step of the purchasing process
19. to interface directly to ERP, users can quickly select vendors and
items, see what's left in real time and, quickly recreate requisitions
for future orders using templates, or quickly assign budget
distribution to designated companies as needed.
Routing through the approval hierarchy, based on flexible criteria
such as order type, vendor category, approvers can approve,
reject, ask for changes, or request additional information. Email
notifications keep the process moving and increase process
visibility. With some specific modules, approvers can easily
review requisitions on the go.
20. Approved requisitions can be converted into purchase
orders through the connected ERP. Need to make a change?
The Change Order Module allows users to open a PO, make
necessary changes, and reroute it for updated approval.
Saved in your transaction history, Requisitions and POs are
easily accessed for quick reference. With the Search Module,
you can search based on multiple criteria such as
Requisition ID, PO, Receipt, Invoice, Voucher Number,
Date, Status, Name, Vendor, Item, and General Ledger (GL
Account # and easily exported to Excel, PDF, etc,. for
reporting.

34. Total Cost of ownership (TCO):
The core principles of the concept of utility and efficiency.
is a method to describe all costs of a certain infracstructure.
TCO, when incorporated in any financial benefit analysis,
provides a cost basis for determining the total economic
value of an investment. Examples include: return on
investment, internal rate of return, economic value added,
return on information technology, and rapid economic
justification.
TCO tries to quantify the financial impact of deploying an
information technology product over its life cycle . These
technologies include software and hardware, and training.
35. Technology deployment as part of TCO includes the
following :
Computer hardware and programs
Network hardware and software
Server hardware and software
Workstation hardware and software
Installation and integration of hardware and software
Purchasing research
Warranties and licenses
License tracking - compliance
Migration expenses
Risks: susceptibility to vulnerabilities, availability of
upgrades, patches and future licensing policies, etc.
