Health information system deployment has been driven by the transformation and digitalization currently confronting healthcare. The need and potential of these systems within healthcare have been tremendously driven by the global instability that has affected several interrelated sectors. Accordingly, many research studies have reported on the inadequacies of these systems within the healthcare arena, which have distorted their potential and offerings to revolutionize healthcare. Thus, through a comprehensive review of the extant literature, this study presents a critique of the health information system for healthcare to supplement the gap created as a result of the lack of an in-depth outlook of the current health information system from a holistic slant. From the studies, the health information system was ascertained to be crucial and fundament in the drive of information and knowledge management for healthcare. Additionally, it was asserted to have transformed and shaped healthcare from its conception despite its flaws. Moreover, research has envisioned that the appraisal of the current health information system would influence its adoption and solidify its enactment within the global healthcare space, which is highly demanded.
The reconstruction of the health sector amidst the forth industrial revolution has been confronted with many challenges. Many benefits have been attributed to the vital role played by technology in realizing and constructing a robust health information system. However, amidst the digitalization in the healthcare system, several challenges such as integration and fragmentation have been affecting the structure of the Health Information Systems (HIS) which subsequently influences decision making and resource allocation. Therefore, this paper through a comprehensive systematic review afford a proposition for a develop a resilient and sustainable information system for Health Care applications. The study reveals the parallel impact of health information technology application in the healthcare arena and highlight the need for more in-depth research on HIS that incorporate novel scientific methods. Additional this study also presents a body of evident that reveal the inadequacies of the HIS to tackle the constant transformative changes presently confronting the global healthcare systems.
There have been several studies centred on health information systems with many insights provided to enhance health care applications globally. These studies have provided theoretical schemes for fortifying the enactment and utilisation of the Health Information System (HIS). In addition, these research studies contribute greatly to the development of HIS in alignment with major stakeholders such as health practitioners and recipients of health care. Conversely, there has been trepidation about HIS’ sustainability and resilience for healthcare applications in the era of digitalization and globalization. Hence, this paper investigates research on HIS with a primary focus on health care applications to ascertain its sustainability and resilience amidst the transformation of the global healthcare space. Therefore, using a bibliometric approach, this paper measures the performance of health information systems and healthcare for health care applications using bibliometric data from the web of science database. The findings reveal solid evidence of the constructive transformation of health information systems and health care applications in the healthcare arena, providing ample evidence of the adaptation of HIS and health care applications within the healthcare arena to the fourth industrial revolution and, additionally, revealing the resilient alignment of health care applications and health information systems.
The Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system of an organization is a highly significant integrator of various processes of the organization that comes with many intrinsic merits. ERP systems will soon become intelligent enterprise systems as the world shift towards the fourth industrial revolution. This capability will make it significant to resolve the current snags plaguing the systems. Many of the snags that have been encountered and presented by the ERP systems have successfully been curbs with the concept of Critical Success Factors (CSFs). However, the nature and attributes of these factors have been inadequately dissected coupled with the lack of sound scientific methodology to validate the factors. Hence, turning them to be numerous without worth has prompted the quest to uncover CSFs in a sector that experience the most adverse impact is the Higher Education Institute (HEI) and the seldom researched area is the financial sector. The successful implementation of CSFs would significantly aid the efficacy of failing implementation of ERP systems. The study aims to pinpoint CSFs for ERP system enactment within the financial information system of a public HEI. Exploring four overarching objectives of identifying the minimal lot of CSFs for ERP enactment that would support financial function. To reconnoiter the magnitude of each of the CSFs in the financial sub-system arbitrated by a successful contrivance. To investigate an effective model that when adopted would support financial functions. To give wide-ranging reference to management for the efficient enactment of ERP systems that would sustain financial functions. To achieve these objectives, a mixed method methodology coupled with a pragmatism philosophy stance was employed that involved literature review, expert opinions, and application of advanced impact analysis technique. In this study, 205 CSFs were aggregated from the related literature and trimmed after a preliminary analysis to yield a minimal set of 20 CSFs that are applicable to the context of financial systems. Each factor was evaluated by a nadir sample size of nine experts through the deployment of an online data collection tool. The opinions of experts generated the Cross-Impact Matrix (CIM) that was evaluated using the advanced impact analysis (ADVIAN) technique. Application of ADVIAN explores the significance of the CSFs in a financial system. Presenting a resolution to the efficacious enactment of CSFs for ERP systems in HEIs determined by criticality, integration, and stability measurements. Additionally, ranking the CSFs utilizing the precarious, driving, and driven criteria to structure an effective model to assist financial functions. The outcomes can afford an eclectic practical blueprint as an allusion and bearing gage for planning, enacting and utilizing ERP systems to improve organizational performance.
The concept of critical success factors (CSFs) has been widely used as a measure to tackle the hurdles associated with numerous implementations of enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. This study evaluates the morphological variability of CSFs using the analytical principal component analysis technique to identify principal components (PCs) that can be adopted for a successful ERP system implementation. The dataset of 205 CSFs from 127 different studies was evaluated for the morphological variability in those studies. According to the results, 66 PCs were identified and ranked accordingly. The first 49 PCs with eigenvalues greater than 1 accounted for 89.67 % of the variability recorded. The first 6 PCs respectively accounted for 13.67%, 19.37%, 24.67%, 29.41%, 33.52% and 36.94% cumulative variations. In general, the graphical illustration of the study results show the palpable division between the taxonomic groups for 3 PCs.
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) has been widely accepted by many organizations as an information technology process to seamlessly integrate, manage, and boost performance in different units of an organization. However, there linger an unpleasant chasm on success and satisfaction rates of ERP system implementation that have limited the effective use of the system. Moreover, the critical success factors (CSFs) of ERP system implementation have not been investigated in the literature for the case of financial functions in higher education institutions. This paper, through the application of advanced impact analysis (ADVIAN®) method exploits the CSFs of ERP system to support financial functions in a higher education institution. The applied ADVIAN® method highlights the CSFs that are measured according to the measures of criticality, integration, and stability. Furthermore, using precarious, driving, and driven measurements for ranking the factors, an effective model of CSFs for a financial ERP system implementation is attained to support financial functions. The study findings provide a comprehensive methodological scheme that can be used as a reference guide and as an orientation point for efficacious planning, implementing, and using ERP systems to support financial functions in higher education institutions.
Harmonising the International Accounting Standards/International Financial Reporting Standards (IAS/IFRS) globally has been the objective of national boards that seek to eliminate existing differences. The harmonisation project has been substantially efficient in realising the IFRS in emerging economies. However, concerning the international accounting standard two, the existence of different inventory valuation methods in literature is one of the dilemmas confronting the application of IAS 2 in many nations globally. This study through a comprehensive literature review discusses and present a critique on the international accounting standard two to afford insight that will be beneficial to both scholar and standard setters. The findings reveal a formidable contribution of the current asset inventory on companies and compliance levels in South Africa. Furthermore, these findings supplement prevailing body knowledge on IAS two and the value relevance of accounting inventories. Highlighting key critiques on the IAS 2 prescriptions and application internationally and also revealing the standards own crucial flaws and strengths and on companies.
