TOPICS FOR MODULE  8

Management & Enterprise Systems


BULLETIN BOARD DISCUSSION GUIDELINES:

Students are expected to engage in a group discussion of the module bulletin board topic.  This may mean having to visit the webboard several times during the week.  Responses of "I agree" or "I disagree" or anything similar to that without further explanation are not considered satisfactory participation.  Comments made should add to the discussion and not just reiterate what has already been stated.  Late postings will not be given credit and technology is not an excuse for failing to complete this assignment.


GRADING:

The postings will be graded using the following point system:
Check Plus - These are few and far between.  A check plus is worth three points toward your final class participation grade and is considered "extra credit".  You must fulfill all requirements of a "check" and add something extra.  You should go above and beyond what is asked and give something extra to the class.
Check - This is worth two points toward your final class participation grade.  You must answer the question and participate in the web board discussion. This is considered an average grade.
Check Minus - A check minus is worth one point toward your final class participation grade.  Relevant comment posted but no interaction with the group or comments that are posted are not relevant or mimic comments already made by other students. This is considered a below average grade.
Zero - No postings made


DISCUSSION TOPIC

After reviewing the article "Enterprise-wide automation in health care organizations, discuss the following ideas with respect to the information in Ch 8 .

1.  As an IS manager, what concerns would you have about sharing patient information among an integrated delivery system (IDS).?

2.   Discuss methods of sharing information and who should have access to this information.

3.  What type of information, if any, do think is appropriate for sharing via e-mail?

  Once you have gathered your thoughts, please post your response on the bulletin board prior to 5pm on Friday, March 7th. Also, you are responsible for responding to the postings of other students. All students must participate in the student web board discussion for the week before the deadline to receive credit for participation. This will make it necessary for you to visit the bulletin board several times during the course of the week. Your participation grade will depend on the quality of your initial responses as well as your interaction and responses to the postings made by other students.
