Information technology is believed to be useful for the communication of discharge information between hospitals and community-based health practitioners. At least 20 projects were conducted in Australia between 1993 and 1997 to explore this idea. The value of these projects was at least $618- 000. Despite this level of activity there is no good evidence, either from these projects or the international literature, to suggest that information technology can improve the quality of discharge communications.

The role of information systems and information technology is indispensable in a variety of fields of work and human resources required to have good quality so it could use the technology appropriately. The library is space that contained a lot of catalogs needed for learning and teachingas media seek knowledge and insight for students and lecturer, then the required information system that can hold all the information about then added data quickly and accurately. Therefore, the library shoidbeable to capitaliz on the presence of information technology to improve the quality of its services. It takes a strategic planning of information systems/information technology that isusedas the basis for the construction of an idea information system and in accordance with user needs.Strategic planning of information systems at the Library STMIK Palangka Raya using the methodology Wardand Peppard (Ward, 2002). With the strategic planning of the library can analyze and evaluate theexisting potential of the entire surroundings of the library in order to develop them selves in accordance with the progress of informationand communication technology as well as libraries have a guide in theform of strategies that should be run in the field of informationtechnolog y to improve its performance.It has a good performance of the library will be able to provide acompetitive advantage for the Organization so that it can continue tocompete in today's global era.

Quantifying and improving the quality of health care is an increasingly important goal in medicine. Because quality of life is difficult to define and even more difficult to measure - particularly with physically and mentally vulnerable people - outcomes from nursing in continuing care are not easily articulated. The focus of the nursing assessment tool is therefore on increasing quality of life, rather than perceiving health gain simply as increased longevity. Assessment is considered to be the first step in the process of individualized nursing care. It provides information that is critical to the development of a plan of action that enhances personal health status. It also decreases the potential for, or the severity of, chronic conditions and helps the individual to gain control over their health through self-care. In this chapter the authors try to describe how important is the role of information and especially of the Information Technology in healthcare quality assessment.

This article discusses the dynamics in organizations, specifically about the comparison of organizational learning with adaptive organizations. This study used a survey method by relying on observational reviews of Organizations X and Y. Data collection was carried out on all staff from 2 organizations totaling 100 people each, 50 respondents each. The results showed the level of activity in the use of Organizational Technology, especially during the COVID-19 era, the role of information technology was a challenge and an opportunity for organizational performance owners to adapt so that their organizational performance could remain productive and effective. The results showed that the dynamics of the organization require adaptive technology, information technology has an influence on organizational development. This condition requires organizations to continue to learn and provide training in accordance with the times, this is certainly relevant to the concept of learning organization with the impact that requires organizations to acquire and transfer organizational knowledge to individuals in the organization.

Purpose: Agriculture is a vast field that necessitates the assistance of disciplines from other fields in order to properly grow. In recent days Information technology is been used in agriculture that helps in the efficiency of the growth of the productivity of agriculture such as in the development of the quality of the farming and its products Precision agriculture are used to increase the growth of the crop quantity. In this paper, a survey includes the analysis and application of precision agriculture. Precision agriculture is used to increase the growth of the crop quantity. And various Precision agriculture companies that have helped the farmer in the field growth. Objectives: To study the role of Information Technology used in Agriculture, and view on various techniques used in precision agriculture. Methodology/Design/Approach: The analysis and the application of precision agriculture are done by referring various research paper, articles. A Literature Survey is done. Findings/Result: Farmers are currently hesitant to use the new Techniques, when compared to traditional farming, Precision farming has the potential to produce higher yields. Originality/value: Based on the secondary data available, the paper focus on the application of precision agriculture.

The increasing importance of the information revolution and terms such as ‘speed’, ‘disorientation’, and ‘changing the concept of distance’, has provided us with tools that had not been previously available. Technological developments are moving toward Fluidity, which was previously unknown and cannot be understood through modern tools. With acceleration of the rhythm in the age we live in and the clarity of the role of information technology in our lives, as also the ease of access to information, has helped us to overcome many difficulties. Technology in all its forms has had a clear impact on all areas of daily life, and it has a clear impact on human thought in general, and the architectural space in particular, where the architecture moves from narrow spaces and is limited to new spaces known as the ‘breadth’, and forms of unlimited and stability to spaces characterized with fluidity. The research problem (the lack of clarity of knowledge about the impact of vast information flow associated with the technology of the age in the occurrence of liquidity in contemporary architectural space) is presented here. The research aims at defining fluidity and clarifying the effect of information technology on the changing characteristics of architectural space from solidity to fluidity. The research follows the analytical approach in tracking the concept of fluidity in physics and sociology to define this concept and then to explain the effect of Information Technology (IT) to achieve the fluidity of contemporary architectural space, leading to an analysis of the Skidmore, Owings and Merrill (SOM) architectural model. The research concludes that information technology achieves fluidity through various tools (communication systems, computers, automation, and artificial intelligence). It has changed the characteristics of contemporary architectural space and made it behave like an organism, through using smart material.

Progress in information technology that is so fast is expected to improve the quality of education in Indonesia. In the world of information technology education can help and support the learning process. Especially now all the learning process activities can be done online. Progress in information technology must also be supported by quality human resources. In this case the teacher is very instrumental in the utilization of information technology in the world of education. Because the teacher is one of the education supervisors who will encourage the advancement of the quality of education in Indonesia. But in reality the quality of teachers in Indonesia is inadequate. There are still many teachers who cannot use information technology in learning especially for teachers who are senior or old. As teacher supervisors, they must improve the quality of their performance in using technology. To improve the ability of teachers to use technology, ongoing training is needed to use technology. The role of the head of the school as a supervisor is also needed, namely the principal is obliged to supervise, control, and approach the teacher in terms of the use of technology in the learning process.
