Florida MIS Radiology’s leadership is considering investing on information
systems and it needs your assistance.
While Florida MIS Radiology’s leadership understands the benefits of information
systems, they are still hesitant to invest. Your thought is to demonstrate how a
trivial scheduling system would benefit the department. To that end, you decide
to create a proof-of-concept database to be operated by administrative staff,
nurses, and radiologists. Such database would significantly speed up several
business processes and solve issues related to paper based medical records.
Your proof-of-concept database was successful, and the leadership has
approved the information system. However, intrigued by current research on
social determinants of health, they want to augment the original design to capture
data on these determinants.
Happy with the functionality and possibilities of the scheduling system, the
Florida MIS Radiology, wants you to investigate and present a proposal on social
media information systems.
