Research Paper: Business Process Redesign

Word count: 600+ words

If you have you been involved with a company doing a redesign of business processes, discuss what went right during the redesign and what went wrong from your perspective. Additionally, provide a discussion on what could have been done better to minimize the risk of failure. If you have not yet been involved with a business process redesign, research a company that has recently completed one and discuss what went wrong, what went right, and how the company could have done a better job minimizing the risk of failure.

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

Be approximately 2-4 pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.

Follow APA7 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.

Support your answers with the reading resources below and at least two scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook.

Be clearly and well-written, concise, and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of your writing.

Reading resources:

Textbook: Managing and Using Information Systems, Keri E. Pearlson, Carol S. Saunders, Dennis F. Galletta, John Wiley & Sons

2. Chapter 5, “Information Systems and Digital Transformation”  pp. 109-121

Strutynska, I., Kozbur, G., Dmytrotsa, L., Sorokivska, O., & Melnyk, L. (2019). Influence of digital technology on roadmap development for digital business transformation. 2019 9th International Conference on Advanced Computer Information Technologies (ACIT), 333-337.

In the two-people game of ten questions, one person is answerer and the other person is questioner. They decide one topic to confine the scope, say Olympics games. The answerer decides an Olympic game in his/her mind and does not reveal the game to the questioner. Questioner is supposed to ask a maximum of ten questions to guess the answer.

Design a Prolog script that plays the role of an answerer. For example, queries can be related to:

• Team size (2 for badminton doubles, 1 for swimming)

• Number of teams in a game (2 for badminton doubles, many for swimming)

• Arena type (court for badminton doubles, pool for swimming)

• Play device (shuttle cock or racket for badminton doubles, water for swimming, ball or

racket for tennis, javelin for javelin throw, etc.)

• Game mode (knock out, timed)

• Performance type (score, win)

There should be only one form of query, for example: has(ball), has(pool), has(team), has(teamsize,2), has (teams_per_game, 2), etc. And one form of decision: is(badminton).

Prolog script should be able to play the game 5 times, choosing a different game each time.

 What does an assessor need to understand before she or he can perform an assessment? 

This question is related to Security architecture and design. 

Step 3: complete a report based on your understanding of the Quality Data Model (QDM).

Download and read a document on Quality Data Model (QDM). Focus your reading on sections 1.1-1.5, and 2.1 – 2.8.

Tasks: Write a report that contains your answer to the following questions:

1. Why a quality data model is needed? Explain QDM’s importance in healthcare information system using examples you have seen or discussed in this Module’s required readings. (10 points)

2. Figure 1 in section 2.5 shows an example QDM element structure on the left. The diagram to the right is an example of QDM element called “Laboratory Test”. Suppose you are member of an interprofessional team working a quality health database project for a hospital. Explain how you would design a database table to store data containing in the ODM element “Laboratory Test”. For example, what is the name of this table? What are the columns to include in this table? (10 points)

3. Suppose the same database contains other tables describing ODM elements such as Doctor, Patient, Medication, Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical Company, etc. Describe ONE scenario where you can use this database to address questions related to QDM element “Laboratory Test”.  (40 points)

First Section 

In a 350- to 500-word essay, address the 4 questions. 

Case study: A publicly traded home builder has hired you to install a new wireless network. The company currently has a wireless network that is a few years old. The problem with the current wireless network is that it was built using proprietary standards instead of 802.11. This current wireless network does not have an upgrade path to 802.11.

On the new wireless network, the corporate office wants a system that allows construction workers to enter progress reports into the system in order to stay up-to-date with all the different community building sites. Each community has a model home that will need Wi-Fi to connect back to the corporate office in order to enter these reports. The construction workers will be using iPads to enter the information. The company currently has 32 sites across the country that will need Wi-Fi. 

In each of these sites, there will be two sales employees that will need to have Wireless IP Phones so that customers can get in touch with them easily. The sales employees will also have laptops, as well as two sales kiosks that allow customers to browse the different options to choose from for their new home build. The kiosks will connect to the Internet, and when the customer chooses their options, the information will be entered into a database. Once the customer chooses the options they want, the sales person will pull up the report on their laptops to print for the construction workers. 

Directions: Looking at the current wireless network and what the home builder would like to accomplish with the new network, explain to the company why the current wireless network will have to be replaced before you can begin the project. The Chief Information Officer (CIO) has asked you to come up with a plan to implement this new wireless network. Include in your report:

1. A brief description of the problem with the current wireless network

2. The benefits of global/industry standards vs. proprietary standards

3. What types of problems exist with mixed standards 

4. A plan to correct the problems with the current wireless network
