Abstract:The focus of this paper is the ethics of information giving in the context of complex sales. It is argued that, while current theories provide a broad framework for describing the responsibilities of sales agents, they lack adequate descriptions of the conditions characteristic of complex sales situations. Without an adequate model of complex sales, ethical theories will fail to provide guidance to sales agents facing issues that arise from features of sales situations not accounted for in the theories. To motivate this claim, I develop a brief case study in the area of information system sales. The problem can be remedied, however, if the theories take into account the features of complex sales. A tentative list of such features is presented and their relevance to the case is discussed. One of the most important to emerge is the epistemic role of the buyer as the judge of competing information.

ABSTRACT Objective: To adapt data collection of the Information System software with the nursing process in Intensive Therapy for use in medical and surgical clinic units. Methods: A descriptive study developed in three stages. The first consisted of team training; in the second, the software was applied in clinical practice with 100 patients; and in the third, we analyzed the modifications to be done. Results: There was inter-observer agreement of 91%, followed by application of the software in 100 patients. In the “patient registration” module, it was suggested the exclusion of one item, inclusion of six and modification of four of them. In the anamnesis screens, no items were flagged to be deleted; 26 inclusions and 7 changes were proposed. In the physical examination screens, it was suggested the exclusion of 31 items, inclusion of 26 and modification of 27. Conclusion: Modifying information systems and going through stages methodologically constructed and implemented was important.

Theatre Management

Introduction: Anesthetists and resuscitation doctors often coordinate the management of operating theaters. Information systems that are an importants tools for operating theatre management are not commonly used in Senegal. The objective of this study is to evaluate the contribution of computer sciences in improving the management and quality of care in the operating theatre. Material and Method: Prospective evaluation over one year of the quality of the standardized discharge summaries (anaesthetic and surgical protocols) provided by the SIMENS software based on the analysis of a Hospital Information System (HIS) use indicators: comprehensiveness, completeness, and validity. Results: The overall comprehensiveness on the use of the Information System (IS) in the Operative Room (OR) was 89%, the completeness of the fields was optimal in 96.6% of the cases for the operating protocols and in 80% of the cases for the anesthetic protocols. 64% of the anesthetic protocols were considered valid compared to 73.3% validity for the surgical protocols. Discussion/Conclusion: The computerization of operating theatres is a long-term process and will ultimately improve the quality of care by having an impact on quality management. Improving the indicators of practical use of an IS in the operating theatre (comprehensiveness, completeness and validity of RSS) requires good involvement of all actors of the theatre environment. The benefits of computerization would be more relevant once the services associated with the operating theatre (hospital services, stretcher-boarding, etc.) are connected to the computer system, but also by automating the input of information to be included in anaesthetic and surgical protocols.

A Chain

As in many food chains, pork production is carried out in heterogeneous chain scenarios with diverse organisational arrangements. Inter-organisational information management systems have not yet been established in pork production even though they provide a chance to improve chain-wide cooperation and quality management. This article presents the concept and first results of a sub-project in an ongoing Dutch-German collaborative research and development project of the public-private network "GIQS e.V." that develops tools for improved quality and health management in pork chains. In this sub-project a chain quality information system was designed, implemented and validated in three pilot chains in Germany and the Netherlands. The major result is a comprehensive implementation guideline for chains that want to improve their use of chain quality information in their quality and health management. The aim of this study was to identify chain actors' information requirements, taking into account the existing organisational heterogeneity in the pork industry. The theoretical framework of this paper integrates the netchain model with the process approach of ISO 9000:2000. The focus lies on describing a general structure of a chain-wide information system. The concept of inter-enterprise data warehousing is adopted for quality management in food chains. Based on this concept, a "natural language" reference model for information requirements in pork netchains was generated. The reference model was adapted to three separate pilot chains. This paper presents the results obtained by implementing the model in one of the pilot chains, with a special focus on improving animal health management and supporting risk-based meat inspection with chain-wide information management.
