Health care planners could be effective and efficient if they used the concept of the natural history of disease and the levels of prevention to design services that intervene at the weakest link in the chain of progression of specific diseases. Instead, most focus on high-technology solutions to preventable problems while experts know that high-technology solutions do not address health disparities, the major causes of diseases and disabilities. What characteristics of the medical care culture hinder the prevention focus?

Name and describe a new technology that can increase access to healthcare, lower costs, and even improve quality of care. How does it alter traditional delivery of care? What published evidence is there of its benefits? Name three or more different categories of patients - geographically, clinically, or otherwise - who have benefited already from the application of this new technology. Identify at least three concerns or caveats that remain to be addressed regarding its usage.

the aggregate supply (AS) curve
1. In the 1990s, the technology revolution caused the wide-spread use of information technology in all areas of production, thus improving productivity and lowering costs; illustrate the effect of this by shifting the aggregate supply (AS) curve in the appropriate direction.
2. Suppose that a new labor law increases the minimum required number of paid vacation days for all full-time employees; illustrate the effect of this by shifting the aggregate supply (AS) curve in the appropriate direction.

scholars increasingly view technological change at work as social (and managerial) processes in which social agency – in the form of workplace cultures, structures, and politics – shapes how technology is designed, implemented, and used’ (Badham, 2005: 1155)
a. In view of the above observation, propose how technology change today is affecting or can affect the culture of the organisation you work with.
b. What practical considerations should your organisation make to protect its interest.

β0≈b0equals=114.60
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)
β1≈b1=−0.68
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)
(b) Use technology to compute the standard error, the point estimate for σ.

Think back to all of the ways we have learned to analyze structures by hand in this class. Now recall the SAP2000 assignments and any other software program we may have used (excel, maybe Mathcad or MatLab). Using at least 10 sentences, discuss how technology is making it easier and making it harder to complete structural analysis tasks. In what way does technology present new challenges? What are some of the advantages and disadvantages?

Question 1 [20]
An analysis of a basic Information Systems Architecture easily
reveals that an information system is comprised of three main
perspectives, which are [i] Technology [ii] People and [iii]
Organizational. The organizational perspective has to do with
operational procedures and how information strategic decisions are
made. It also has to do with the structure, politics and culture of
the organization.
a. Write analytically about the Technology and
People perspectives of an information system and identify the
components in each perspective.
