The paper I wrote to complete my MSIS at University of Nevada, Reno. I used Visual Studio along with R Tools for Visual Studio to write the markdown and associated R code. Unfortunately, I had not discovered the tidyverse at the time so my R code is a bit messy.
The tools and document generation process were as much of a learning experience as the content of the paper. I think it turned out rather well!
Information technology is being heavily utilized in the healthcare industry to reduce the rate of medical errors that may occur during delivery of care. Medical errors are currently measured using a variety of Patient Safety and Hospital Acquired Condition metrics. These metrics can be employed to compare the quality of care delivered by hospitals and by government agencies to provide payment incentives. This research determines the impact of an IT strategic goal that is committed to reduce medical errors on several commonly used metrics and finds little to no effect on the metric scores obtained.
