The development of information and communication technology has led to the transformation of traditional business practices in all sectors of the economy. Information and communication technologies in the field of tourism represent a generator of change and drivers of development, by enabling the creation and retention of a large number of jobs, business opportunities and significant added value. Given the well-recognized value of the information and communication technologies in tourism, this chapter sought to identify the countries with the highest level of travel and tourism ICT readiness. Therefore, a two-step analysis was applied where in the first step the weights were determined using two approaches, PCA and SWARA. In the second step, using multicriteria analysis, the evaluation of ICT readiness of European countries was performed. The results indicate that the application of weight coefficients determined by different approaches in the same multicriteria method leads to moderate rank inversion.
Health information systems represent a kind of information-technology platform for the electronic business of health organizations. By using health information systems, health organizations more effectively allocate their medical resources. By transferring real-time health information and diagnosing the condition of patients using virtual medical communities and mobile wireless body area networks, it comes all stakeholders networking of the healthcare organizations in charge of monitoring the health status of patients. All this leads to the creation of special kind of healthcare organizations electronic business, which is electronic healthcare. In order to reduce the costs of allocating medical resources, logistical costs and improving the provision of virtual medical services, each healthcare organization should choose an optimal health information system that matches its size, business mode and needs. Consequently, using the method of analytical hierarchical processes, through Bubble Chart Pro multi-criteria decision making software, health information systems in this paper will be ranked according to their most significant performance related to electronic health.
