Enhancing Public Hospital Infrastructure: EHR and Business Intelligence Solutions
University of Cincinnati
IS 4030 - Business Intelligence
Public hospitals infrastructure is the base that supports the planning, delivery, and evaluation
of health activities and practices. The main elements of public hospitals infrastructure are
security and building management systems, medical and administrative staff, departments, an
operating theatre, facilities management, and data and information system. A building
management system controls and monitors mechanical and electrical equipment.
A hospital security system is aimed at protecting personnel, patients, and visitors. It also
secures sensitive information and prevents unauthorized access to medications and medical
supplies. Some public hospitals use intrusion detection, access control, and video surveillance
to ensure safety. Hospital staff consists of doctors, nurses, allied health professionals, and
support staff.
Public hospitals consist of departments including an emergency department, cardiology, an
intensive care unit, the general ward, neurology, oncology, and the maternity ward. There is
also a department of nursing, which is responsible for the administration of nursing practice.
Also, there are information management, the medical records department, facilities
management, and maintenance. Hospital facilities management maintains a healthy
environment in public hospitals ensuring that services requests are quickly processed and the
schedule is efficiently set. A hospital information system manages all aspects of a hospital’s
operation, including medical, administrative, legal, and financial ones.
Workflows and Processes
The main public hospital workflows and processes include administrative process, patient
admission and discharge, medical procedures and operations, emergency room workflow,
laboratory workflow, medication process, medical documentation, the supply of drugs, help
desk process, and patient flow. The administrative process involves wide-range planning and
coordination, managing the budget, hiring, and scheduling staff members. During the
admission process, a nurse gathers initial patient’s assessment data to create an effective plan
of care. A help desk is a customer service that deals with taking calls regarding
troubleshooting and forwarding technical assistance.
Gaps and Issues
The current state of public hospitals can be hardly considered to be satisfactory due to the
poor quality of care, low hospital efficiency, and redundant processes. There is a growing
number of preventable medical errors made by nurses and doctors that result in human deaths
(Shanafelt, Sinsky, & Swensen, 2017). Hospital personnel face excessive workloads, long
working hours, burnout, and emotional exhaustion (Manyisa & Aswegen, 2017). A
considerable amount of time is wasted on tasks involving indirect patient care, such as
polling charts and collecting supplies. A large amount of paperwork for physicians does not
allow them for serving a greater number of patients. Therefore, a lot has to be done to
improve both the quality of care for patients and working conditions for staff.
Solutions for Improvement
The suggestions proposed relate to improvements in data management, as this infrastructure
has to solve a lot of complicated tasks. The recommendations include the implementation of
an electronic medical record (EHR) system that may be of help for nurses, physicians, and
administrative personnel (Daly, 2015). Moreover, deployment of the EHR by hospitals and
other healthcare facilities is encouraged by the HITECH ACT (Compliancy Group, 2018).
This would enable to reduce the number of medical errors and thus decrease the death rate
among patients. The productivity of the nursing personnel will increase, as time spent on the
ward round and nursing handover will be reduced. The administrative staff will spend less
time on polling charts and thus will have much time for performing other working tasks. If
the amount of paperwork is reduced, the productivity of physicians will increase, as they will
be able to effectively coordinate care and serve more patients. However, some studies suggest
that the EHR may drive professional dissatisfaction and burnout (DiAngi, Longhurst, &
Payne, 2016). Therefore, public hospitals should consider investing in ongoing training,
organizational changes, and automation of the EHR.
Speaking of other improvements in public hospitals, one may consider the implementation of
the admission and discharge registered nurse. In order for this solution to be cost-effective,
the position may be taken by any nurse in the acute care setting. The potential efficiency of
such an implementation may be explained by reallocation of time, which would facilitate
increased participation in direct patient care. An increase in both patient and nurse
satisfaction is expected as a positive outcome.
Current Technology to Change Health Care Infrastructure
Experiencing a lack of funding, public hospitals are slowly moving into the data-driven
world, though integration of big data processing approaches in existing data management
architectures is associated with great advancements in healthcare infrastructure. Current
technology that may change public hospital workflows and data management is business
intelligence (BI) that offers an easy way to prepare, analyze, and visualize large volumes of
disparate data. Therefore, BI should be viewed as a powerful tool that could enable public
hospitals to reach strategic goals and reduce information asymmetry.
Using BI may help analyze public hospitals spending by department and type. According to
the Society of Actuaries (2018), business intelligence (BI) will help cut costs of health
organization up to 25% over the next few years. Using these systems may result in more
effective care, as sophisticated algorithms determine redundancy and data accuracy, which
will enable patients to receive the exact individualized kind of treatment. BI may also
facilitate more coordinated treatment, so nurses and physicians will not spend much time
communicating on each patient’s case with other departments. Big data technology may be of
help in managing logistics, in particular, patient flow. This will enable administrative staff to
know optimal patient discharge time and thus make the most effective use of bed space.
Conclusion
To sum up, in the given essay, the key elements of the infrastructure of public hospitals have
been described along with the main workflows and processes. As data management is a major
issue in healthcare facilities due to large volumes of information, the suggestions for future
improvements in this area have been made. In particular, the implementation of the EHR may
become a powerful tool in reducing medical errors and improving quality of care and nursing
documentation. BI may revolutionize the way healthcare personnel interact with health-
related data.

communicating on each patient’s case with other departments. Big data technology may be of
help in managing logistics, in particular, patient flow. This will enable administrative staff to
know optimal patient discharge time and thus make the most effective use of bed space.
Conclusion
To sum up, in the given essay, the key elements of the infrastructure of public hospitals have
been described along with the main workflows and processes. As data management is a major
issue in healthcare facilities due to large volumes of information, the suggestions for future
improvements in this area have been made. In particular, the implementation of the EHR may
become a powerful tool in reducing medical errors and improving quality of care and nursing
documentation. BI may revolutionize the way healthcare personnel interact with health-
related data.
Solutions for Improvement
The suggestions proposed relate to improvements in data management, as this infrastructure
has to solve a lot of complicated tasks. The recommendations include the implementation of
an electronic medical record (EHR) system that may be of help for nurses, physicians, and
administrative personnel (Daly, 2015). Moreover, deployment of the EHR by hospitals and
other healthcare facilities is encouraged by the HITECH ACT (Compliancy Group, 2018).
This would enable to reduce the number of medical errors and thus decrease the death rate
among patients. The productivity of the nursing personnel will increase, as time spent on the
ward round and nursing handover will be reduced. The administrative staff will spend less
time on polling charts and thus will have much time for performing other working tasks. If
the amount of paperwork is reduced, the productivity of physicians will increase, as they will
be able to effectively coordinate care and serve more patients. However, some studies suggest
that the EHR may drive professional dissatisfaction and burnout (DiAngi, Longhurst, &
Payne, 2016). Therefore, public hospitals should consider investing in ongoing training,
organizational changes, and automation of the EHR.
Speaking of other improvements in public hospitals, one may consider the implementation of
the admission and discharge registered nurse. In order for this solution to be cost-effective,
the position may be taken by any nurse in the acute care setting. The potential efficiency of
such an implementation may be explained by reallocation of time, which would facilitate
increased participation in direct patient care. An increase in both patient and nurse
satisfaction is expected as a positive outcome.
Current Technology to Change Health Care Infrastructure
Experiencing a lack of funding, public hospitals are slowly moving into the data-driven
world, though integration of big data processing approaches in existing data management
architectures is associated with great advancements in healthcare infrastructure. Current
technology that may change public hospital workflows and data management is business
intelligence (BI) that offers an easy way to prepare, analyze, and visualize large volumes of
disparate data. Therefore, BI should be viewed as a powerful tool that could enable public
hospitals to reach strategic goals and reduce information asymmetry.
Using BI may help analyze public hospitals spending by department and type. According to
the Society of Actuaries (2018), business intelligence (BI) will help cut costs of health
organization up to 25% over the next few years. Using these systems may result in more
effective care, as sophisticated algorithms determine redundancy and data accuracy, which
will enable patients to receive the exact individualized kind of treatment. BI may also
facilitate more coordinated treatment, so nurses and physicians will not spend much time
communicating on each patient’s case with other departments. Big data technology may be of

organizational changes, and automation of the EHR.
Speaking of other improvements in public hospitals, one may consider the implementation of
the admission and discharge registered nurse. In order for this solution to be cost-effective,
the position may be taken by any nurse in the acute care setting. The potential efficiency of
such an implementation may be explained by reallocation of time, which would facilitate
increased participation in direct patient care. An increase in both patient and nurse
satisfaction is expected as a positive outcome.
Current Technology to Change Health Care Infrastructure
Experiencing a lack of funding, public hospitals are slowly moving into the data-driven
world, though integration of big data processing approaches in existing data management
architectures is associated with great advancements in healthcare infrastructure. Current
technology that may change public hospital workflows and data management is business
intelligence (BI) that offers an easy way to prepare, analyze, and visualize large volumes of
disparate data. Therefore, BI should be viewed as a powerful tool that could enable public
hospitals to reach strategic goals and reduce information asymmetry.
Using BI may help analyze public hospitals spending by department and type. According to
the Society of Actuaries (2018), business intelligence (BI) will help cut costs of health
organization up to 25% over the next few years. Using these systems may result in more
effective care, as sophisticated algorithms determine redundancy and data accuracy, which
will enable patients to receive the exact individualized kind of treatment. BI may also
facilitate more coordinated treatment, so nurses and physicians will not spend much time
communicating on each patient’s case with other departments. Big data technology may be of
help in managing logistics, in particular, patient flow. This will enable administrative staff to
know optimal patient discharge time and thus make the most effective use of bed space.
Conclusion
To sum up, in the given essay, the key elements of the infrastructure of public hospitals have
been described along with the main workflows and processes. As data management is a major
issue in healthcare facilities due to large volumes of information, the suggestions for future
improvements in this area have been made. In particular, the implementation of the EHR may
become a powerful tool in reducing medical errors and improving quality of care and nursing
documentation. BI may revolutionize the way healthcare personnel interact with health-
related data.
Solutions for Improvement
The suggestions proposed relate to improvements in data management, as this infrastructure
has to solve a lot of complicated tasks. The recommendations include the implementation of
an electronic medical record (EHR) system that may be of help for nurses, physicians, and
administrative personnel (Daly, 2015). Moreover, deployment of the EHR by hospitals and
other healthcare facilities is encouraged by the HITECH ACT (Compliancy Group, 2018).
This would enable to reduce the number of medical errors and thus decrease the death rate
among patients. The productivity of the nursing personnel will increase, as time spent on the
ward round and nursing handover will be reduced. The administrative staff will spend less
time on polling charts and thus will have much time for performing other working tasks. If
the amount of paperwork is reduced, the productivity of physicians will increase, as they will
be able to effectively coordinate care and serve more patients. However, some studies suggest
that the EHR may drive professional dissatisfaction and burnout (DiAngi, Longhurst, &
Payne, 2016). Therefore, public hospitals should consider investing in ongoing training,

been described along with the main workflows and processes. As data management is a major
issue in healthcare facilities due to large volumes of information, the suggestions for future
improvements in this area have been made. In particular, the implementation of the EHR may
become a powerful tool in reducing medical errors and improving quality of care and nursing
documentation. BI may revolutionize the way healthcare personnel interact with health-
related data.
Solutions for Improvement
The suggestions proposed relate to improvements in data management, as this infrastructure
has to solve a lot of complicated tasks. The recommendations include the implementation of
an electronic medical record (EHR) system that may be of help for nurses, physicians, and
administrative personnel (Daly, 2015). Moreover, deployment of the EHR by hospitals and
other healthcare facilities is encouraged by the HITECH ACT (Compliancy Group, 2018).
This would enable to reduce the number of medical errors and thus decrease the death rate
among patients. The productivity of the nursing personnel will increase, as time spent on the
ward round and nursing handover will be reduced. The administrative staff will spend less
time on polling charts and thus will have much time for performing other working tasks. If
the amount of paperwork is reduced, the productivity of physicians will increase, as they will
be able to effectively coordinate care and serve more patients. However, some studies suggest
that the EHR may drive professional dissatisfaction and burnout (DiAngi, Longhurst, &
Payne, 2016). Therefore, public hospitals should consider investing in ongoing training,
organizational changes, and automation of the EHR.
Speaking of other improvements in public hospitals, one may consider the implementation of
the admission and discharge registered nurse. In order for this solution to be cost-effective,
the position may be taken by any nurse in the acute care setting. The potential efficiency of
such an implementation may be explained by reallocation of time, which would facilitate
increased participation in direct patient care. An increase in both patient and nurse
satisfaction is expected as a positive outcome.
Current Technology to Change Health Care Infrastructure
Experiencing a lack of funding, public hospitals are slowly moving into the data-driven
world, though integration of big data processing approaches in existing data management
architectures is associated with great advancements in healthcare infrastructure. Current
technology that may change public hospital workflows and data management is business
intelligence (BI) that offers an easy way to prepare, analyze, and visualize large volumes of
disparate data. Therefore, BI should be viewed as a powerful tool that could enable public
hospitals to reach strategic goals and reduce information asymmetry.
Using BI may help analyze public hospitals spending by department and type. According to
the Society of Actuaries (2018), business intelligence (BI) will help cut costs of health
organization up to 25% over the next few years. Using these systems may result in more
effective care, as sophisticated algorithms determine redundancy and data accuracy, which
will enable patients to receive the exact individualized kind of treatment. BI may also
facilitate more coordinated treatment, so nurses and physicians will not spend much time
communicating on each patient’s case with other departments. Big data technology may be of
help in managing logistics, in particular, patient flow. This will enable administrative staff to
know optimal patient discharge time and thus make the most effective use of bed space.

Current Technology to Change Health Care Infrastructure
Experiencing a lack of funding, public hospitals are slowly moving into the data-driven
world, though integration of big data processing approaches in existing data management
architectures is associated with great advancements in healthcare infrastructure. Current
technology that may change public hospital workflows and data management is business
intelligence (BI) that offers an easy way to prepare, analyze, and visualize large volumes of
disparate data. Therefore, BI should be viewed as a powerful tool that could enable public
hospitals to reach strategic goals and reduce information asymmetry.
Using BI may help analyze public hospitals spending by department and type. According to
the Society of Actuaries (2018), business intelligence (BI) will help cut costs of health
organization up to 25% over the next few years. Using these systems may result in more
effective care, as sophisticated algorithms determine redundancy and data accuracy, which
will enable patients to receive the exact individualized kind of treatment. BI may also
facilitate more coordinated treatment, so nurses and physicians will not spend much time
communicating on each patient’s case with other departments. Big data technology may be of
help in managing logistics, in particular, patient flow. This will enable administrative staff to
know optimal patient discharge time and thus make the most effective use of bed space.
Conclusion
To sum up, in the given essay, the key elements of the infrastructure of public hospitals have
been described along with the main workflows and processes. As data management is a major
issue in healthcare facilities due to large volumes of information, the suggestions for future
improvements in this area have been made. In particular, the implementation of the EHR may
become a powerful tool in reducing medical errors and improving quality of care and nursing
documentation. BI may revolutionize the way healthcare personnel interact with health-
related data.
Solutions for Improvement
The suggestions proposed relate to improvements in data management, as this infrastructure
has to solve a lot of complicated tasks. The recommendations include the implementation of
an electronic medical record (EHR) system that may be of help for nurses, physicians, and
administrative personnel (Daly, 2015). Moreover, deployment of the EHR by hospitals and
other healthcare facilities is encouraged by the HITECH ACT (Compliancy Group, 2018).
This would enable to reduce the number of medical errors and thus decrease the death rate
among patients. The productivity of the nursing personnel will increase, as time spent on the
ward round and nursing handover will be reduced. The administrative staff will spend less
time on polling charts and thus will have much time for performing other working tasks. If
the amount of paperwork is reduced, the productivity of physicians will increase, as they will
be able to effectively coordinate care and serve more patients. However, some studies suggest
that the EHR may drive professional dissatisfaction and burnout (DiAngi, Longhurst, &
Payne, 2016). Therefore, public hospitals should consider investing in ongoing training,
organizational changes, and automation of the EHR.
Speaking of other improvements in public hospitals, one may consider the implementation of
the admission and discharge registered nurse. In order for this solution to be cost-effective,
the position may be taken by any nurse in the acute care setting. The potential efficiency of
such an implementation may be explained by reallocation of time, which would facilitate
increased participation in direct patient care. An increase in both patient and nurse
satisfaction is expected as a positive outcome.

Solutions for Improvement
The suggestions proposed relate to improvements in data management, as this infrastructure
has to solve a lot of complicated tasks. The recommendations include the implementation of
an electronic medical record (EHR) system that may be of help for nurses, physicians, and
administrative personnel (Daly, 2015). Moreover, deployment of the EHR by hospitals and
other healthcare facilities is encouraged by the HITECH ACT (Compliancy Group, 2018).
This would enable to reduce the number of medical errors and thus decrease the death rate
among patients. The productivity of the nursing personnel will increase, as time spent on the
ward round and nursing handover will be reduced. The administrative staff will spend less
time on polling charts and thus will have much time for performing other working tasks. If
the amount of paperwork is reduced, the productivity of physicians will increase, as they will
be able to effectively coordinate care and serve more patients. However, some studies suggest
that the EHR may drive professional dissatisfaction and burnout (DiAngi, Longhurst, &
Payne, 2016). Therefore, public hospitals should consider investing in ongoing training,
organizational changes, and automation of the EHR.
Speaking of other improvements in public hospitals, one may consider the implementation of
the admission and discharge registered nurse. In order for this solution to be cost-effective,
the position may be taken by any nurse in the acute care setting. The potential efficiency of
such an implementation may be explained by reallocation of time, which would facilitate
increased participation in direct patient care. An increase in both patient and nurse
satisfaction is expected as a positive outcome.
Current Technology to Change Health Care Infrastructure
Experiencing a lack of funding, public hospitals are slowly moving into the data-driven
world, though integration of big data processing approaches in existing data management
architectures is associated with great advancements in healthcare infrastructure. Current
technology that may change public hospital workflows and data management is business
intelligence (BI) that offers an easy way to prepare, analyze, and visualize large volumes of
disparate data. Therefore, BI should be viewed as a powerful tool that could enable public
hospitals to reach strategic goals and reduce information asymmetry.
Using BI may help analyze public hospitals spending by department and type. According to
the Society of Actuaries (2018), business intelligence (BI) will help cut costs of health
organization up to 25% over the next few years. Using these systems may result in more
effective care, as sophisticated algorithms determine redundancy and data accuracy, which
will enable patients to receive the exact individualized kind of treatment. BI may also
facilitate more coordinated treatment, so nurses and physicians will not spend much time
communicating on each patient’s case with other departments. Big data technology may be of
help in managing logistics, in particular, patient flow. This will enable administrative staff to
know optimal patient discharge time and thus make the most effective use of bed space.
Conclusion
To sum up, in the given essay, the key elements of the infrastructure of public hospitals have
been described along with the main workflows and processes. As data management is a major
issue in healthcare facilities due to large volumes of information, the suggestions for future
improvements in this area have been made. In particular, the implementation of the EHR may
become a powerful tool in reducing medical errors and improving quality of care and nursing
documentation. BI may revolutionize the way healthcare personnel interact with health-

intelligence (BI) that offers an easy way to prepare, analyze, and visualize large volumes of
disparate data. Therefore, BI should be viewed as a powerful tool that could enable public
hospitals to reach strategic goals and reduce information asymmetry.
Using BI may help analyze public hospitals spending by department and type. According to
the Society of Actuaries (2018), business intelligence (BI) will help cut costs of health
organization up to 25% over the next few years. Using these systems may result in more
effective care, as sophisticated algorithms determine redundancy and data accuracy, which
will enable patients to receive the exact individualized kind of treatment. BI may also
facilitate more coordinated treatment, so nurses and physicians will not spend much time
communicating on each patient’s case with other departments. Big data technology may be of
help in managing logistics, in particular, patient flow. This will enable administrative staff to
know optimal patient discharge time and thus make the most effective use of bed space.
Conclusion
To sum up, in the given essay, the key elements of the infrastructure of public hospitals have
been described along with the main workflows and processes. As data management is a major
issue in healthcare facilities due to large volumes of information, the suggestions for future
improvements in this area have been made. In particular, the implementation of the EHR may
become a powerful tool in reducing medical errors and improving quality of care and nursing
documentation. BI may revolutionize the way healthcare personnel interact with health-
related data.
Solutions for Improvement
The suggestions proposed relate to improvements in data management, as this infrastructure
has to solve a lot of complicated tasks. The recommendations include the implementation of
an electronic medical record (EHR) system that may be of help for nurses, physicians, and
administrative personnel (Daly, 2015). Moreover, deployment of the EHR by hospitals and
other healthcare facilities is encouraged by the HITECH ACT (Compliancy Group, 2018).
This would enable to reduce the number of medical errors and thus decrease the death rate
among patients. The productivity of the nursing personnel will increase, as time spent on the
ward round and nursing handover will be reduced. The administrative staff will spend less
time on polling charts and thus will have much time for performing other working tasks. If
the amount of paperwork is reduced, the productivity of physicians will increase, as they will
be able to effectively coordinate care and serve more patients. However, some studies suggest
that the EHR may drive professional dissatisfaction and burnout (DiAngi, Longhurst, &
Payne, 2016). Therefore, public hospitals should consider investing in ongoing training,
organizational changes, and automation of the EHR.
Speaking of other improvements in public hospitals, one may consider the implementation of
the admission and discharge registered nurse. In order for this solution to be cost-effective,
the position may be taken by any nurse in the acute care setting. The potential efficiency of
such an implementation may be explained by reallocation of time, which would facilitate
increased participation in direct patient care. An increase in both patient and nurse
satisfaction is expected as a positive outcome.

Experiencing a lack of funding, public hospitals are slowly moving into the data-driven
world, though integration of big data processing approaches in existing data management
architectures is associated with great advancements in healthcare infrastructure. Current

This would enable to reduce the number of medical errors and thus decrease the death rate
among patients. The productivity of the nursing personnel will increase, as time spent on the
ward round and nursing handover will be reduced. The administrative staff will spend less
time on polling charts and thus will have much time for performing other working tasks. If
the amount of paperwork is reduced, the productivity of physicians will increase, as they will
be able to effectively coordinate care and serve more patients. However, some studies suggest
that the EHR may drive professional dissatisfaction and burnout (DiAngi, Longhurst, &
Payne, 2016). Therefore, public hospitals should consider investing in ongoing training,
organizational changes, and automation of the EHR.
Speaking of other improvements in public hospitals, one may consider the implementation of
the admission and discharge registered nurse. In order for this solution to be cost-effective,
the position may be taken by any nurse in the acute care setting. The potential efficiency of
such an implementation may be explained by reallocation of time, which would facilitate
increased participation in direct patient care. An increase in both patient and nurse
satisfaction is expected as a positive outcome.
Current Technology to Change Health Care Infrastructure
Experiencing a lack of funding, public hospitals are slowly moving into the data-driven
world, though integration of big data processing approaches in existing data management
architectures is associated with great advancements in healthcare infrastructure. Current
technology that may change public hospital workflows and data management is business
intelligence (BI) that offers an easy way to prepare, analyze, and visualize large volumes of
disparate data. Therefore, BI should be viewed as a powerful tool that could enable public
hospitals to reach strategic goals and reduce information asymmetry.
Using BI may help analyze public hospitals spending by department and type. According to
the Society of Actuaries (2018), business intelligence (BI) will help cut costs of health
organization up to 25% over the next few years. Using these systems may result in more
effective care, as sophisticated algorithms determine redundancy and data accuracy, which
will enable patients to receive the exact individualized kind of treatment. BI may also
facilitate more coordinated treatment, so nurses and physicians will not spend much time
communicating on each patient’s case with other departments. Big data technology may be of
help in managing logistics, in particular, patient flow. This will enable administrative staff to
know optimal patient discharge time and thus make the most effective use of bed space.
Conclusion
To sum up, in the given essay, the key elements of the infrastructure of public hospitals have
been described along with the main workflows and processes. As data management is a major
issue in healthcare facilities due to large volumes of information, the suggestions for future
improvements in this area have been made. In particular, the implementation of the EHR may
become a powerful tool in reducing medical errors and improving quality of care and nursing
documentation. BI may revolutionize the way healthcare personnel interact with health-
related data.
Solutions for Improvement
The suggestions proposed relate to improvements in data management, as this infrastructure
has to solve a lot of complicated tasks. The recommendations include the implementation of
an electronic medical record (EHR) system that may be of help for nurses, physicians, and
administrative personnel (Daly, 2015). Moreover, deployment of the EHR by hospitals and
other healthcare facilities is encouraged by the HITECH ACT (Compliancy Group, 2018).

the Society of Actuaries (2018), business intelligence (BI) will help cut costs of health
organization up to 25% over the next few years. Using these systems may result in more
effective care, as sophisticated algorithms determine redundancy and data accuracy, which
will enable patients to receive the exact individualized kind of treatment. BI may also
facilitate more coordinated treatment, so nurses and physicians will not spend much time
communicating on each patient’s case with other departments. Big data technology may be of
help in managing logistics, in particular, patient flow. This will enable administrative staff to
know optimal patient discharge time and thus make the most effective use of bed space.
Conclusion
To sum up, in the given essay, the key elements of the infrastructure of public hospitals have
been described along with the main workflows and processes. As data management is a major
issue in healthcare facilities due to large volumes of information, the suggestions for future
improvements in this area have been made. In particular, the implementation of the EHR may
become a powerful tool in reducing medical errors and improving quality of care and nursing
documentation. BI may revolutionize the way healthcare personnel interact with health-
related data.
Solutions for Improvement
The suggestions proposed relate to improvements in data management, as this infrastructure
has to solve a lot of complicated tasks. The recommendations include the implementation of
an electronic medical record (EHR) system that may be of help for nurses, physicians, and
administrative personnel (Daly, 2015). Moreover, deployment of the EHR by hospitals and
other healthcare facilities is encouraged by the HITECH ACT (Compliancy Group, 2018).
This would enable to reduce the number of medical errors and thus decrease the death rate
among patients. The productivity of the nursing personnel will increase, as time spent on the
ward round and nursing handover will be reduced. The administrative staff will spend less
time on polling charts and thus will have much time for performing other working tasks. If
the amount of paperwork is reduced, the productivity of physicians will increase, as they will
be able to effectively coordinate care and serve more patients. However, some studies suggest
that the EHR may drive professional dissatisfaction and burnout (DiAngi, Longhurst, &
Payne, 2016). Therefore, public hospitals should consider investing in ongoing training,
organizational changes, and automation of the EHR.
Speaking of other improvements in public hospitals, one may consider the implementation of
the admission and discharge registered nurse. In order for this solution to be cost-effective,
the position may be taken by any nurse in the acute care setting. The potential efficiency of
such an implementation may be explained by reallocation of time, which would facilitate
increased participation in direct patient care. An increase in both patient and nurse
satisfaction is expected as a positive outcome.
Current Technology to Change Health Care Infrastructure
Experiencing a lack of funding, public hospitals are slowly moving into the data-driven
world, though integration of big data processing approaches in existing data management
architectures is associated with great advancements in healthcare infrastructure. Current
technology that may change public hospital workflows and data management is business
intelligence (BI) that offers an easy way to prepare, analyze, and visualize large volumes of
disparate data. Therefore, BI should be viewed as a powerful tool that could enable public
hospitals to reach strategic goals and reduce information asymmetry.

time on polling charts and thus will have much time for performing other working tasks. If
the amount of paperwork is reduced, the productivity of physicians will increase, as they will
be able to effectively coordinate care and serve more patients. However, some studies suggest
that the EHR may drive professional dissatisfaction and burnout (DiAngi, Longhurst, &
Payne, 2016). Therefore, public hospitals should consider investing in ongoing training,
organizational changes, and automation of the EHR.
Speaking of other improvements in public hospitals, one may consider the implementation of
the admission and discharge registered nurse. In order for this solution to be cost-effective,
the position may be taken by any nurse in the acute care setting. The potential efficiency of
such an implementation may be explained by reallocation of time, which would facilitate
increased participation in direct patient care. An increase in both patient and nurse
satisfaction is expected as a positive outcome.
Current Technology to Change Health Care Infrastructure
Experiencing a lack of funding, public hospitals are slowly moving into the data-driven
world, though integration of big data processing approaches in existing data management
architectures is associated with great advancements in healthcare infrastructure. Current
technology that may change public hospital workflows and data management is business
intelligence (BI) that offers an easy way to prepare, analyze, and visualize large volumes of
disparate data. Therefore, BI should be viewed as a powerful tool that could enable public
hospitals to reach strategic goals and reduce information asymmetry.
Using BI may help analyze public hospitals spending by department and type. According to
the Society of Actuaries (2018), business intelligence (BI) will help cut costs of health
organization up to 25% over the next few years. Using these systems may result in more
effective care, as sophisticated algorithms determine redundancy and data accuracy, which
will enable patients to receive the exact individualized kind of treatment. BI may also
facilitate more coordinated treatment, so nurses and physicians will not spend much time
communicating on each patient’s case with other departments. Big data technology may be of
help in managing logistics, in particular, patient flow. This will enable administrative staff to
know optimal patient discharge time and thus make the most effective use of bed space.
Conclusion
To sum up, in the given essay, the key elements of the infrastructure of public hospitals have
been described along with the main workflows and processes. As data management is a major
issue in healthcare facilities due to large volumes of information, the suggestions for future
improvements in this area have been made. In particular, the implementation of the EHR may
become a powerful tool in reducing medical errors and improving quality of care and nursing
documentation. BI may revolutionize the way healthcare personnel interact with health-
related data.
Solutions for Improvement
The suggestions proposed relate to improvements in data management, as this infrastructure
has to solve a lot of complicated tasks. The recommendations include the implementation of
an electronic medical record (EHR) system that may be of help for nurses, physicians, and
administrative personnel (Daly, 2015). Moreover, deployment of the EHR by hospitals and
other healthcare facilities is encouraged by the HITECH ACT (Compliancy Group, 2018).
This would enable to reduce the number of medical errors and thus decrease the death rate
among patients. The productivity of the nursing personnel will increase, as time spent on the
ward round and nursing handover will be reduced. The administrative staff will spend less

facilitate more coordinated treatment, so nurses and physicians will not spend much time
communicating on each patient’s case with other departments. Big data technology may be of
help in managing logistics, in particular, patient flow. This will enable administrative staff to
know optimal patient discharge time and thus make the most effective use of bed space.
Conclusion
To sum up, in the given essay, the key elements of the infrastructure of public hospitals have
been described along with the main workflows and processes. As data management is a major
issue in healthcare facilities due to large volumes of information, the suggestions for future
improvements in this area have been made. In particular, the implementation of the EHR may
become a powerful tool in reducing medical errors and improving quality of care and nursing
documentation. BI may revolutionize the way healthcare personnel interact with health-
related data.
Solutions for Improvement
The suggestions proposed relate to improvements in data management, as this infrastructure
has to solve a lot of complicated tasks. The recommendations include the implementation of
an electronic medical record (EHR) system that may be of help for nurses, physicians, and
administrative personnel (Daly, 2015). Moreover, deployment of the EHR by hospitals and
other healthcare facilities is encouraged by the HITECH ACT (Compliancy Group, 2018).
This would enable to reduce the number of medical errors and thus decrease the death rate
among patients. The productivity of the nursing personnel will increase, as time spent on the
ward round and nursing handover will be reduced. The administrative staff will spend less
time on polling charts and thus will have much time for performing other working tasks. If
the amount of paperwork is reduced, the productivity of physicians will increase, as they will
be able to effectively coordinate care and serve more patients. However, some studies suggest
that the EHR may drive professional dissatisfaction and burnout (DiAngi, Longhurst, &
Payne, 2016). Therefore, public hospitals should consider investing in ongoing training,
organizational changes, and automation of the EHR.
Speaking of other improvements in public hospitals, one may consider the implementation of
the admission and discharge registered nurse. In order for this solution to be cost-effective,
the position may be taken by any nurse in the acute care setting. The potential efficiency of
such an implementation may be explained by reallocation of time, which would facilitate
increased participation in direct patient care. An increase in both patient and nurse
satisfaction is expected as a positive outcome.
Current Technology to Change Health Care Infrastructure
Experiencing a lack of funding, public hospitals are slowly moving into the data-driven
world, though integration of big data processing approaches in existing data management
architectures is associated with great advancements in healthcare infrastructure. Current
technology that may change public hospital workflows and data management is business
intelligence (BI) that offers an easy way to prepare, analyze, and visualize large volumes of
disparate data. Therefore, BI should be viewed as a powerful tool that could enable public
hospitals to reach strategic goals and reduce information asymmetry.
Using BI may help analyze public hospitals spending by department and type. According to
the Society of Actuaries (2018), business intelligence (BI) will help cut costs of health
organization up to 25% over the next few years. Using these systems may result in more
effective care, as sophisticated algorithms determine redundancy and data accuracy, which
will enable patients to receive the exact individualized kind of treatment. BI may also
facilitate more coordinated treatment, so nurses and physicians will not spend much time
communicating on each patient’s case with other departments. Big data technology may be of

Payne, 2016). Therefore, public hospitals should consider investing in ongoing training,
organizational changes, and automation of the EHR.
Speaking of other improvements in public hospitals, one may consider the implementation of
the admission and discharge registered nurse. In order for this solution to be cost-effective,
the position may be taken by any nurse in the acute care setting. The potential efficiency of
such an implementation may be explained by reallocation of time, which would facilitate
increased participation in direct patient care. An increase in both patient and nurse
satisfaction is expected as a positive outcome.
Current Technology to Change Health Care Infrastructure
Experiencing a lack of funding, public hospitals are slowly moving into the data-driven
world, though integration of big data processing approaches in existing data management
architectures is associated with great advancements in healthcare infrastructure. Current
technology that may change public hospital workflows and data management is business
intelligence (BI) that offers an easy way to prepare, analyze, and visualize large volumes of
disparate data. Therefore, BI should be viewed as a powerful tool that could enable public
hospitals to reach strategic goals and reduce information asymmetry.
Using BI may help analyze public hospitals spending by department and type. According to
the Society of Actuaries (2018), business intelligence (BI) will help cut costs of health
organization up to 25% over the next few years. Using these systems may result in more
effective care, as sophisticated algorithms determine redundancy and data accuracy, which
will enable patients to receive the exact individualized kind of treatment. BI may also
facilitate more coordinated treatment, so nurses and physicians will not spend much time
communicating on each patient’s case with other departments. Big data technology may be of
help in managing logistics, in particular, patient flow. This will enable administrative staff to
know optimal patient discharge time and thus make the most effective use of bed space.
Conclusion
To sum up, in the given essay, the key elements of the infrastructure of public hospitals have
been described along with the main workflows and processes. As data management is a major
issue in healthcare facilities due to large volumes of information, the suggestions for future
improvements in this area have been made. In particular, the implementation of the EHR may
become a powerful tool in reducing medical errors and improving quality of care and nursing
documentation. BI may revolutionize the way healthcare personnel interact with health-
related data.
Solutions for Improvement
The suggestions proposed relate to improvements in data management, as this infrastructure
has to solve a lot of complicated tasks. The recommendations include the implementation of
an electronic medical record (EHR) system that may be of help for nurses, physicians, and
administrative personnel (Daly, 2015). Moreover, deployment of the EHR by hospitals and
other healthcare facilities is encouraged by the HITECH ACT (Compliancy Group, 2018).
This would enable to reduce the number of medical errors and thus decrease the death rate
among patients. The productivity of the nursing personnel will increase, as time spent on the
ward round and nursing handover will be reduced. The administrative staff will spend less
time on polling charts and thus will have much time for performing other working tasks. If
the amount of paperwork is reduced, the productivity of physicians will increase, as they will
be able to effectively coordinate care and serve more patients. However, some studies suggest
that the EHR may drive professional dissatisfaction and burnout (DiAngi, Longhurst, &

To sum up, in the given essay, the key elements of the infrastructure of public hospitals have
been described along with the main workflows and processes. As data management is a major
issue in healthcare facilities due to large volumes of information, the suggestions for future
improvements in this area have been made. In particular, the implementation of the EHR may
become a powerful tool in reducing medical errors and improving quality of care and nursing
documentation. BI may revolutionize the way healthcare personnel interact with health-
related data.
Solutions for Improvement
The suggestions proposed relate to improvements in data management, as this infrastructure
has to solve a lot of complicated tasks. The recommendations include the implementation of
an electronic medical record (EHR) system that may be of help for nurses, physicians, and
administrative personnel (Daly, 2015). Moreover, deployment of the EHR by hospitals and
other healthcare facilities is encouraged by the HITECH ACT (Compliancy Group, 2018).
This would enable to reduce the number of medical errors and thus decrease the death rate
among patients. The productivity of the nursing personnel will increase, as time spent on the
ward round and nursing handover will be reduced. The administrative staff will spend less
time on polling charts and thus will have much time for performing other working tasks. If
the amount of paperwork is reduced, the productivity of physicians will increase, as they will
be able to effectively coordinate care and serve more patients. However, some studies suggest
that the EHR may drive professional dissatisfaction and burnout (DiAngi, Longhurst, &
Payne, 2016). Therefore, public hospitals should consider investing in ongoing training,
organizational changes, and automation of the EHR.
Speaking of other improvements in public hospitals, one may consider the implementation of
the admission and discharge registered nurse. In order for this solution to be cost-effective,
the position may be taken by any nurse in the acute care setting. The potential efficiency of
such an implementation may be explained by reallocation of time, which would facilitate
increased participation in direct patient care. An increase in both patient and nurse
satisfaction is expected as a positive outcome.
Current Technology to Change Health Care Infrastructure
Experiencing a lack of funding, public hospitals are slowly moving into the data-driven
world, though integration of big data processing approaches in existing data management
architectures is associated with great advancements in healthcare infrastructure. Current
technology that may change public hospital workflows and data management is business
intelligence (BI) that offers an easy way to prepare, analyze, and visualize large volumes of
disparate data. Therefore, BI should be viewed as a powerful tool that could enable public
hospitals to reach strategic goals and reduce information asymmetry.
Using BI may help analyze public hospitals spending by department and type. According to
the Society of Actuaries (2018), business intelligence (BI) will help cut costs of health
organization up to 25% over the next few years. Using these systems may result in more
effective care, as sophisticated algorithms determine redundancy and data accuracy, which
will enable patients to receive the exact individualized kind of treatment. BI may also
facilitate more coordinated treatment, so nurses and physicians will not spend much time
communicating on each patient’s case with other departments. Big data technology may be of
help in managing logistics, in particular, patient flow. This will enable administrative staff to
know optimal patient discharge time and thus make the most effective use of bed space.

such an implementation may be explained by reallocation of time, which would facilitate
increased participation in direct patient care. An increase in both patient and nurse
satisfaction is expected as a positive outcome.
Current Technology to Change Health Care Infrastructure
Experiencing a lack of funding, public hospitals are slowly moving into the data-driven
world, though integration of big data processing approaches in existing data management
architectures is associated with great advancements in healthcare infrastructure. Current
technology that may change public hospital workflows and data management is business
intelligence (BI) that offers an easy way to prepare, analyze, and visualize large volumes of
disparate data. Therefore, BI should be viewed as a powerful tool that could enable public
hospitals to reach strategic goals and reduce information asymmetry.
Using BI may help analyze public hospitals spending by department and type. According to
the Society of Actuaries (2018), business intelligence (BI) will help cut costs of health
organization up to 25% over the next few years. Using these systems may result in more
effective care, as sophisticated algorithms determine redundancy and data accuracy, which
will enable patients to receive the exact individualized kind of treatment. BI may also
facilitate more coordinated treatment, so nurses and physicians will not spend much time
communicating on each patient’s case with other departments. Big data technology may be of
help in managing logistics, in particular, patient flow. This will enable administrative staff to
know optimal patient discharge time and thus make the most effective use of bed space.
Conclusion
To sum up, in the given essay, the key elements of the infrastructure of public hospitals have
been described along with the main workflows and processes. As data management is a major
issue in healthcare facilities due to large volumes of information, the suggestions for future
improvements in this area have been made. In particular, the implementation of the EHR may
become a powerful tool in reducing medical errors and improving quality of care and nursing
documentation. BI may revolutionize the way healthcare personnel interact with health-
related data.
Solutions for Improvement
The suggestions proposed relate to improvements in data management, as this infrastructure
has to solve a lot of complicated tasks. The recommendations include the implementation of
an electronic medical record (EHR) system that may be of help for nurses, physicians, and
administrative personnel (Daly, 2015). Moreover, deployment of the EHR by hospitals and
other healthcare facilities is encouraged by the HITECH ACT (Compliancy Group, 2018).
This would enable to reduce the number of medical errors and thus decrease the death rate
among patients. The productivity of the nursing personnel will increase, as time spent on the
ward round and nursing handover will be reduced. The administrative staff will spend less
time on polling charts and thus will have much time for performing other working tasks. If
the amount of paperwork is reduced, the productivity of physicians will increase, as they will
be able to effectively coordinate care and serve more patients. However, some studies suggest
that the EHR may drive professional dissatisfaction and burnout (DiAngi, Longhurst, &
Payne, 2016). Therefore, public hospitals should consider investing in ongoing training,
organizational changes, and automation of the EHR.
Speaking of other improvements in public hospitals, one may consider the implementation of
the admission and discharge registered nurse. In order for this solution to be cost-effective,
the position may be taken by any nurse in the acute care setting. The potential efficiency of
such an implementation may be explained by reallocation of time, which would facilitate
