Management Information Systems Cases

This appendix presents several case studies that illustrate various problems that arise in MIS. They are based on publically available information regarding different organizations.

Managed Care Systems and Emerging Infections

Health care reform has changed the financial base upon which the modern academic medical center is structured. The cost-containment efforts of managed care organizations have reduced the institutions' net revenues from the provision of clinical care that have traditionally been used to support research and training. Concomitantly, the amount of time that faculty can spend conducting research an…

Managing Coastal Erosion

Historically, coastal development in the United States was dominated by major urban regions oriented to commercial ports and defense installations. Elsewhere, coastal settlements were typically quiet fishing villages, vacation refuges, and older seaside resorts gradually evolving into year-round communities.

To Err Is Human

The knowledgeable health reporter for the Boston Globe, Betsy Lehman, died from an overdose during chemotherapy. Willie King had the wrong leg amputated. Ben Kolb was eight years old when he died during “minor” surgery due to a drug mix-up.1 These horrific cases that make the headlines are just the tip of the ice- berg. Two large studies, one conducted in Colorado and Utah and the other in …

Interim Review of the Subsonic Assessment Project MANAGEMENT, SCIENCE, AND GOALS

Exhaust products emitted by the current subsonic-transport fleet may influence tropospheric ozone and clouds, and thus Earth’s climate. Such emissions in the upper troposphere may affect climate at the surface of the Earth by means of many chemical and meteorological processes. Some of these processes are poorly understood, and thus cannot be quantified with much certainty. NASA’s Atmo- …

The Hidden Epidemic: Confronting Sexually Transmitted Diseases
