SharePoint in Plain English http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s12Jb5Z2xaE

Microsoft SharePoint allows for a team to create an online home for a project. The search option of SharePoint makes it easy to find potential team members with special skills within minutes. Once a team is formed, team members can find out what they have in common through SharePoint’s blog feature. SharePoint becomes the source for everything related to a project. All documents live in SharePoint where there is only one version. The same is true for calendars where the team knows exactly when meeting times and due dates are. SharePoint plugs in to existing databases and networks within a company so it is easy to access things like sales data, inventory numbers, and contact information.

GISs for Fighting Disease

What is GIS? Video produced by ESRI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8RhDpuLPl0

A geographic information system (GIS) uses computers and software to explore the fundamental principle of geography. GIS is used to store, analyze, and manage many aspects of the world. For example, a GIS helps to make sure electricity is present when you flip a light switch. A GIS takes the numbers and words from databases and puts them on a map. Putting data on a map allows you to ask questions such as where, why, and how. Location based information provided by a GIS can help you to make make better decisions. GIS can make maps coded by values from the database to help illustrate patterns. For example, to better understand traffic accidents we might first group collisions by police grid then as hot spots then finally we can show where citations are issued.

Decision Support Systems at Family Dollar

Perioperative Decision Support System: 2014 Medical Innovation No. 5 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KK8auHmpicw

A new anesthesia management system combines the latest in computer technology and microelectronics. It documents the care provided by an anesthesiologist from pre-op to intro-op and recovery. This system gathers and records physiological patient data including heart rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rate in real time during surgery displaying it all on one screen. The decision support system (DSS) allows doctors to document everything that they are doing and reminds them of the workflows that are important for targeted outcomes. It is this real time patient data that elevates the quality of clinical decision-making and patient surveillance by providing critical information needed for continuity of care.

An executive information system (EIS) is a specialized decision support system that supports senior level executives within an organization. A decision support system (DSS) is a system that models information to support managers and business professionals during the decision-making process. A DSS can perform a number of different analyses including sensitivity analysis, what- if analysis, and goal seeking analysis. Sensitivity analysis gauges the impact of changes in one variable on the entire system. What-if analysis checks the impact of a change in on variable on the proposed solution. Goal seeking analysis finds the inputs necessary to achieve the goals such as a desired level of sales. An EIS typically contains data from both external and internal sources while usually a DSS only gathers information internally. EIS offers capabilities such as consolidation (the aggregation of information), drill down (enables users to acquire layers of detailed information), and slice and dice (looks at information from different perspectives). A digital dashboard integrates information from multiple components and tailors this information to individual preferences. This can be used to identify the status of key information or critical success factors; it offers tables and graphs, scrolls of headline news, alerts, and resolution status. Overall, an EIS allows a decision maker to organize and interact with the information as well as supports important decision-making processes.
