（2006）LEARNING FROM WORLDCOM：IMPLICATIONS FOR FRAUD DETECTION THROUGH CONTINUOUS ASSURANCE.pptVIP

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * Not only are information systems in healthcare changing, the environment in which medicine is practiced is changing as well, as are the relationships between the individuals involved (patients and HC workers). Information systems has played, and is continuing to significantly impact the practice of medicine. This project examines the development of information systems in this new environment and addresses a current void in the literature regarding healthcare systems design, and acknowledges the roles of the people involved, as well as the impact of IS on medicine and individuals healthcare decisions. Healthcare information systems are changing. Will Review these changes and the role that MIS is playing in the practice of medicine today. In large part, due to technology, medical knowledge is changing rapidly. This has had an significant impact both on the practice of medicine by physicians/healthcare workers, and on the patients with regard to the complexity of the decisions that they face regarding treatment decisions. Not only are the HIS changing but today’s patients are changing as well. The systems design literature has not evolved with the changes in either the systems itself or with the changes in today’s HIS users. This research project is a response to the need in both the literature and use of information systems in practice today. Changes in IS in the healthcare industry, changes in the practice of medicine itself, and changes in the consumer of the product of medicine, and the current void in the literature regarding these issues, that this research project addresses.
