introduction: hospitals require a central monitoring and improve planning process in order to enhance patient care quality. regarding the current developments in health care systems, the question is which information system can support transformation of hospitals. this review article focuses on the capacity of enterprise resource planning (erp) systems for the transformation of hospitals. metho...

conclusions: the results of the present research indicates that the emphasis of the his evaluation moves from technical subjects to human and organizational subjects, and from objective to subjective issues. therefore, this issue entails more familiarity with more qualitative evaluation methods. in most of the reviewed studies, the main focus has been laid on the necessity of using multi-method...

Image classification and retrieval systems have gained more attention because of easier access to high-tech medical imaging. However, the lack of availability of large-scaled balanced labelled data in medicine is still a challenge. Simplicity, practicality, efficiency, and effectiveness are the main targets in medical domain. To achieve these goals, Radon transformation, which is a well-known t...

Within the pages of even this journal, some have interpreted Informing Science as the same as Information Systems. Others interpret it as the same as Information Science. It includes both of these and it is more. The field of Information Systems commonly focuses on the use of information technology to inform business managers, while the field of Information Science focuses on information retrie...

Eficient and efiective discovery of resource and knowledge from the Internet has become an imminent research issue, especially with the advent of the Information Super-Highway. A multiple layered database (MLDB) approach is proposed to handle the resource and knowledge discovery in global information base. A preliminary experiment shows the advantages of such an approach. Information retrieval,...

In this paper, we propose a model of information retrieval (IR) system design based on the ideas of: a multi-dimensional space of information-seeking strategies; dialogue structures for information-seeking; cases of specific information-seeking dialogues; and, scripts as distinguished prototypical cases. These concepts are integrated within a framework of IR as interaction.

The purpose of the paper is to summarize results of the review phase of the study and outline directions of further research work. Abstract The amount and quality of information available from network information services have been increasing considerably in recent years. User's satisfaction with an information service depends highly on the quality of a system used to retrieve information. In t...

High amount of relevant information is contained in reports stored in the electronic patient records and associated metadata. R-oogle is a project aiming at developing information retrieval engines adapted to these reports and designed for clinicians. The system consists in a data warehouse (full-text reports and structured data) imported from two different hospital information systems. Informa...
