Introduction The outcome of a situation can sometimes be determined by the choices that have been made. Decisions are made by individuals based on the surrounding factors. The type of jobs or where one resides are some of the decisions that are made. In addition, one can be faced with problems that he or she must resolve in order to learn from it. In the business world decisions are made based on the given factors that are presented. Organizations can use the assistance of a decision support system to help facilitate with the decision making. Mesa’s Foundation Trust Mesa’s Foundation Trust (MFT) is a medical provider that provides services to patients. MFT wants to reduce the amount of resources that were provider by several other facilities. During this consolidation MFT’s goal to continue to provide the same types of service and without impacting the amount of time. The need for a decision support system that can not only maintain the historical data, but also capture new data for analyzing. Based on the needs IT support must build the DSS to handle semi-structured problems. The decisions that are made based on given data are standard, but there will always be problems that fall outside the norm (Turban, Sharda, & Delen, 2011). There will be data that is known, but there will also be the unknown. The data should be gathered into a database that can provide management the ability to analyze. The system must be able to collect the given data and an process the information in a format that is understanding to the decision makers. Within the data driven model of the decision support system, the staff at the facility can quickly attend to the patients. Data must be accessible to all the associated medical facilities for MF... ... middle of paper ... ... individual length of stay estimations and shared resources.

Similar to Global Positioning Systems (GPS) provide drivers with directions, detours, alternative routes, and alerts, Clinical Decision Support (CDS) systems provide health care professionals with guidance for important decisions associated with patient care. These systems have many capabilities including synthesizing patient information, suggesting diagnostic tests, providing alerts for life-threatening situations, recommending treatment options, and providing relevant evidence and best practices. Nonetheless, just as GPSs, CDS systems are not usually perfect as evident in the ongoing evolution of their design specifications and functionalities. Some of the major issues that are still evolving for CDS systems include alert fatigue and integration of evidence-based practice (EBP) resources and clinical guidelines. One of the major areas that can benefit from the adoption and integration of clinical decision support systems is community health nursing. These systems can be used together with evidence-based medicine to help improve the quality of health and patient care in community health nursing.
On account of theses limits other tools that are more efficient, objective and accurate are necessary to enhance acute hospital care. The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE 2007) have highlighted the importance of a systemic approach and advocated the use of EWS to efficiently identify and response to pa...
The purpose of stage 1 is to capture the health data in a coded format. Stage 2 applies data to patient care and further the exchange of information between providers and other healthcare entities. The stage 3 known as exact measures are still in the opening stages will focus on Clinical Decision Support (CDS) application during point of care to improve the healthcare results and equip patients with self management tools.
There are many situations that people go through that influence their decisions. Everybody grew up differently so this plays a major role in the decisions that were made in life.
Therefore it can be argued that it is important for individuals at this level to be able to react and make relevant and appropriate decisions efficiently in relation to the information they have available to them. They must be able to draw on their knowledge of the organisation and their HR knowledge and experience to provide the best advice/decision possible to ensure that the business needs are met in line with best practice where
DSS facilitate enhanced interpersonal communication among those responsible for decision making.

Clinical Decision Support is the process of applying health-related decisions and actions with appropriate and systematized clinical knowledge and patient information in order to improve quality, safety, and efficiency of healthcare delivery (Campbell, 2013). The system designed to provide physicians and other healthcare professionals with clinical decision support (CDS) in order to assist with clinical decision making is known as Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS). CDS has the ability to significantly impact improvements in quality, safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of health care (AHRQ, 2016). AHRQ has launched a new initiative to circulate and implement patient centered outcomes research (PCOR) findings through CDS which will promote
Making Decisions We all make decisions of varying importance every day, so the idea that decision making can be a rather sophisticated art may at first seem strange. However, studies have shown that most people are much poorer at decision making than they think. An understanding of what decision making involves, together with a few effective techniques, will help produce better decisions.
Thinking critically and making decisions are important parts of today’s business environment. It is important to understand how the decision making process works and the steps involved. The nine steps of the decision making process are: identifying the problem, defining criteria, setting goals and objectives, evaluating the effect of the problem, identifying the causes of the problem, framing alternatives, evaluating impacts of the alternatives, making the decision, implementing the decision, and measuring the impacts. (Decision, 2007.) By using various methods and tools to assist in making important business decisions an individual can ensure the decisions they make will be as successful as possible. In this paper it will be examined how the decision making process can be followed using various tools and techniques to make successful business decisions by using these same tools and techniques during a thinking critically business scenario. The paper will also discuss how different tools and techniques could have been used to make different, yet still successful decisions.
Define the three primary types of decision-making systems, and explain how a customer of Actionly might use them to find business intelligence.
Managerial decisions are an important component in achieving the objectives of the organization. The success or failure of a business depend upon the decisions made by managers (Jurina, 2011). Today’s increasing complexity in the world of business brought forth greater challenges for both the firm and its managers. The rapid rate of technological and digital advance as well as greater focus product innovation and processes that influence marketing and sales techniques have contributed to the increasing complexity in the business environment.
Now we will consciously or unconsciously make decisions which we think are for the best for us, for the ones we care for, or for the society or organisation as a whole. In order to make wiser decisions we should know what contributes in making a good or a bad choice. We should know what all options are there available to us and mak...
Prior to the start of the Information Age in the late 20th century, businesses had to collect data from non-automated sources. Businesses then lacked the computing resources necessary to properly analyze the data, and as a result, companies often made business d...

Some decisions prove to be vital and any miscalculation that may be involved may prove dire for the individual or the organization. In identifying the criterion to use while evaluating different decisions, many factors pertaining the structure should be considered. The pros and cons of every decision made should be evaluated to ensure that the option chosen has the most positive effect on the individual and the organization. Some of the activities that may require keen decision making include project development, finance and operations. With the knowledge attained it will be easier to cope with tough decisions that may come up in my career. Decision making models may be generated to give an in depth view to the problem and also provide critical analysis ability. It is also vital noting that for those in managerial positions, they face a bigger task in decision making. A good understanding of the business function and structure will provide an in depth knowhow to those that have studied the
