Application: Addressing Challenges through Management Information Systems
The types of management information systems used across health care may vary by the setting, but they have in common the objective to streamline and enhance administrative processes and thereby support the institution’s ultimate goal of delivering optimal patient care.
In this Application Assignment, you will explore ways that technology might help address health care management problems with which you are already familiar from past coursework and/or professional experiences, such as issues in human resources, operations, organizational management, or financial management.
Prepare for this Application Assignment as follows:
Identify a specific management challenge in health care that you have learned about through coursework or professional experience. This may be an issue you have researched for an assignment in a previous course, but it need not be. (This week’s Learning Resources include numerous examples of these challenges; review these, as needed, for ideas.)
Conduct an online search to identify and learn more about one management information system (or application) that can improve performance in this area. Find out about challenges to adoption that this technology might pose.
Keeping in mind Chapter 13, “IT Alignment and Strategic Planning,” from the course text Health Care Information Systems: A Practical Approach for Health Managementconsider the various steps an organization would need to take, and the various stakeholders who would be involved, in planning for this system. What would be some of the barriers in planning for this system?
Then write a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following:
Briefly summarize the nature and purpose of the management information system you selected, and identify the specific health care setting in which it might be used.
What challenge(s) would this system address? Describe how this system would lead to improvements in particular managerial functions. How would you expect this system to transform the organization?
What are key organizational barriers to adopting this system?
Discuss the ways in which this system might align with an organization’s strategic goals, the processes by which an organization would strategically plan for this system, and the primary stakeholders who would be involved.
Each type of proposed renewable energy has its benefits and drawbacks. For example, hydropower has the benefit of relatively consistent results; however, it remains controversial due to its impact on aquatic environments.
For this assignment, select one renewable resource to examine its benefits and drawbacks.
Using this module’s readings, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, respond to the following:
Describe the sources of this renewable resource.
Explain how this renewable resource is harnessed for energy.
Considering that it takes energy to make energy, identify the kind of energy needed to make electrical energy from this resource.
State the average amount of energy this renewable source produces. For example, on average, how much energy does a single wind turbine produce in a year? Or, how much energy does a dam produce in a year? Or, how many wind turbines would be needed to produce the same amount of energy as the average dam?
Compare and contrast the benefits and drawbacks of the renewable energy resource.
Support your statements with scholarly references and appropriate examples.
Write your initial response in a minimum of 350–400 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.
By Week 4, Day 3, post your response to the appropriate Discussion Area. Through Week 4, Day 7, review and comment on at least two peers’ responses. Address the following:
Given the associated benefits and drawbacks, explain whether this particular renewable resource was best for your classmate’s community.
How would this renewable energy resource replace the current energy resources in your classmate’s community?
What are some reasons why this energy resource has not already been harnessed in your classmate’s community?
If the renewable energy resource that your classmate described is used to replace the nonrenewable energy sources, who would benefit the most?

Interfacing a Transducer to an Analog-to-Digital Converter and Interfacing Digital-to-Analog Converters to Loads
The purpose of this lab is to allow students to gain experience constructing Digital to Analog Converters in Multisim. Students will extend the concepts learned in the module and homework to build an 8-Bit DAC. Several binary inputs and the associated analog output values measured with a virtual digital multimeter will be captured in screenshots.
Watch the video Week 5 – Op Amp DAC Circuit
Determine the values of all the remaining seven resistors and fill in the table 1.
3.Recall the binary to decimal conversion and fill the table below:
Construct an 8-bit binary weighted DAC in Multisim and measure the output voltage Vout using the multimeter and record the computed gain below.
Take the screenshots of Vout measurements for the input/output combination for each of the above 8-bits.
Answer the following questions:
Determine the approximate value of RF which results in accurate digital to analog conversion.
Write the expression for Vout in terms of Vin, RF and R for each bit. Also, express Vout in terms of all 8 input voltages.
Starting from the least significant bit to the most significant bit, what is the effect of feedback resistance on the output voltage?
From your measurements, does increase in the digital value result in increase in analog value? Please explain.
Is the voltage gain of the op Amp different for each bit? Please explain why?
Create a new word document called “Lab5_StudentID.docx” with your GID substituted into the file name.
Verify all calculations from analysis and measurements from simulations. Save the results along with the table and paste the screen captures in the word document. Make sure to answer the questions.
