Strategies for Implementing Internet of Things Free-Samples

Question: Discuss about the Information Strategies for Implementing the Internet of Things in University Hospital Sharjah. Answer: Introduction Internet of things (IoT) refers to the interconnection of the Internet with various kinds of computational devices that is embedded within everyday objects. The Internet interconnection helps the object to send as well as receive data. The current assignment implements the strategies of Internet of things to be implemented on University hospital Sharjah. The business objectives have been described along with the business strategies regarding product, services, markets as well as customer needs. An organizational strategy that includes issues of the internal organization has also been included. Information strategies focusing on Internet of things Technologies as well as the IT capabilities has been considered for implementation and development of the IS strategies. Objectives The business objectives of University Hotel Sharjah are as follows: To promote the university hospital Sharjah as one of the leading healthcare institutions in United Arab Emirates (UAE) and in the future of the entire region. To improve the health and wellbeing through delivery of exceptional healing experience clinical best practice with unrelenting attention, patient Safety as well as an parallel passion and commitment for exceeding patients expectations. To offer carrying convenient impressionable and collaborative care environment to UAE, develop, share and apply new technology and knowledge for embracing the change in champion innovation. To provide compassionate patient centered care with an emphasis on specialty care tertiary level for primary residence of United Arab Emirates and the wider MENA region (ae, 2017). Business Strategies To make a university hospital Sharjah as one of the leading Healthcare institution, multimedia patient education system has been implemented that provides various education on different kinds of health issues relating to dental, gastrointestinal, cardiac, general, urinary, ENT, neurology, ophthalmology, cosmetic, dermatology and bariatric. University hospital Sharjah also offers high standard accommodation with over 200 beds for patient and wide range of choices that suits the needs for the individual patients that ranges from standard groups to suite for the VIP. The room has been designed to attain maximum patient privacy and comfort that helps to improve the wellbeing and health through delivery of exceptional healing experience and clinical best practice. Double occupancy room, VIP suites, private standard room, adds design depending on the medical leaves as well as the availability that help them to carry convenient impressionable and collaborative care environment. Kids club pr ogram has been developed for educating the children through games, presentation, demonstration, question and answer at the University hospital Sharjah. Healthcare also provides special treatment through innovative technologies using equipments and management information system for the hospital (Uhs.ae, 2017). Organizational Strategies University Hospital Sharjah has been facing increase cost on monitoring for the patients. Outcome of the treatments using advanced equipments are also not up to the mark due to lack of synchronization between the equipments. As per Ahmadi (2014), the disease management due to continuous monitoring of the patients is also not done properly due to lack of access to the real time data. The errors in collecting the data and automated workflows are also increased that reduces the patient experience within the Healthcare system. These issues have been faced by university hospital Sharjah that let them to take decisions regarding adoption of Internet of things within the hospital (Uhs.ae, 2017). Information Strategies According to Chiuchisan (2014), the information system strategies for the Internet of things (IoT) technologies and at the same time information technology capability are considered for the development and implementation of the strategies within university hospital Sharjah. These strategies includes adoption of cloud system hospital management information system (MIS) software that will help them to decrease cost as a cloud integration of various Hospital equipments will be done. It will help them to gain advantage regarding the connectivity of the Kuperman (2013) stated that Healthcare Solutions and the patient monitoring can be done on real time basis that will reduce unnecessary visit by the doctor to the patient and the doctors can provide their time to the patients that really needs help. Outcome of the treatment will be much more than hands as equipment such as heart rate monitoring, ECG and other essential Health Care equipments will be connected to a virtual infrastructure and cloud computing and the data can be accessed by the doctors from other hospitals as well as abroad when required (Lee, 2015). The disease management system will enhanced as diseases will be treated before it gets worse. The error in data collection and analysis will be reduced as the workflow combined with the data driven in decisions will help them to cut down waste as well as system cost minimizing the errors. The data will be collected to the clouds using the MIS software (Roman, 2013). However security concern regarding the cloud based MIS software needs to be considered regarding the potential challenges to the sensitive healthcare data. The volume of data that is increasing significantly needs to be protected from cyber attacks and the architecture of the Internet of things should be inside the military zone. Cloud computing might be requiring a hybrid cloud environment of hypervisor for running (Sicari, 2015). Real time monitoring needs to be done that includes network traffic, user access system in information and activities of change management might be faced by the Internet of things. MIS software during this process will be beneficial regarding the health necessity of the patient that might arise which might be detrimental to the patients (Tsai, 2014). Therefore adequate and necessary steps should be consider regarding the security of the Internet of things that has been implemented as well as protection of the data from cyber threats and cyber attacks. Conclusion It can be concluded that Internet of things as well as management information system software are very much beneficial for University hospital Sharjah that will help them to decrease the cost, improve disease management, improve outcomes of treatment, enhance patient experience as well as enhance management of drugs. However it major issues regarding the strategies implemented for Internet of things will be security concern as well as threats from cyber attacks that needs to be mitigated by providing a network firewall or monitoring of the data. The protection of the cloud needs to be done through adequate cloud information system security software and deployment of protection tools for protecting healthcare data of the patients.
