This paper describes an on-going research project examining currently used processes in both hospitals and EHR vendor companies for identifying, prioritizing, and mitigating electronic health record (EHR) software issues, and usability issues, that may compromise patient safety as they arise in the implemented or legacy EHR system. This on-going project includes 3 interviews with CMIOs at hospitals and 3 interviews with EHR vendors. Next steps include surveying both groups. The project can be considered as part of a learning health system (LHS) approach in that it seeks to identify best practices in terms of the process for addressing these EHR issues. The LHS approach seeks to improve long term outcomes in health care by identifying optimal delivery processes and to do so in a systematic, rather than a haphazard way. (Friedman & Rigby, 2013).

The new coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic forced the population to adapt routines, create new habits and adapt to the new reality. A significant change resulting from social isolation was the way that consumers began to seek the provision of services and purchase of products. What was previously done predominantly in physical stores, started to be carried out by digital channels, according to the customers' preference. Because it provides essential services, Companhia Águas de Joinville (CAJ) also needed to adapt, creating conditions for digital service for 100% of customer demands. However, the simple availability does not mean immediate adhesion by the population, as customers have their preferences. This article intends to demonstrate how the migration of face-to-face service to other channels in Basic Sanitation behaved in Joinville and what the consumer preferred during the quarantine.

This case study was built from a semi-structured interview with the Innovation manager and a UX Designer at that institution.

Arising in China in December 2019, the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) soon spread to other countries worldwide including Bangladesh. Mass media and social media platforms played an important role in providing Coronavirus related information and news as they enable people to share news as well as personal experiences with one another rapidly. Since little is known about COVID-19, various fake news spread across social media that panicked people into making panic decisions. The primary objective of this study is to examine how social media is spreading fake or unauthentic news during the time of COVID-19 pandemic. This study also focuses on how the university students of Bangladesh are playing their roles in the spread of fake news in social media. An online survey was conducted to reach a wide number of university students who own at least one social media account.

The questionnaire was distributed to the students using different social media platforms. Collected data were analyzed using SPSS version 20 and MS Excel. The study showed that the students sometimes received COVID-19 related fake news. The main reason behind …

Automotive industries in the developed world have strived to improve performance and productivity by incorporating Knowledge Management (KM) practices in their manufacturing processes. This has been attributed to the use of upgraded technological capabilities in the acquisition, sharing, and retention of organizational knowledge. Literature has unpacked that as much as automotive industries need Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) in their KM strategy, they should also include aspects of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to facilitate and share knowledge (Wisskirchen et al., 2017; Calitz, Poisat & Cullen, 2017; Cronin, Conway & Walsh, 2019). More so, they recognised the limitations of ICTs concerning the management of tacit knowledge, which is intangible and difficult to share, as it plays a crucial role in the KM process. Despite the interest of many authors towards KM in automotive industries, there is a lack of studies aimed at investigating AI as a KM enabler in the South African automotive industry. This is a relevant issue as knowledge in the automotive industries tends to manifest itself tacitly. This realization has spawned a growing interest in incorporating advanced technologies like artificial intelligence into KM practices to overcome knowledge loss and bringing in innovation in automotive industries. It is against this backdrop; …

With advances in natural language processing (NLP), machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI), there are new opportunities for improving findability among existing public-facing resources. This project seeks to inform findability, especially for multiple chronic condition (MCC) resources, by describing current search capabilities and limitations across several of AHRQ’s publicly available domains and by identifying and piloting a novel NLP/ML approach to make suggested improvements. This work intentionally engages with the overlap of numerous disciplines including information extraction, information retrieval, data and text mining, knowledge management, and best practices in health care. We are looking to apply this work across all domains but will start by focusing on specific AHRQ domains. Given limited API access, we scraped the content of digital.ahrq.gov and the patient centered medical home (PCMH) resources and performed automated search using a set of related terms that align with an MCC scenario: hypertension, osteoarthritis, and chronic kidney disease. We obtained results confirming the limitations of existing search.

The research seeks to know if the COVID-19 pandemic has created culture change by measuring the criteria of work outputs and actions of organization members. As a part of this research, a survey was developed to identify how and to what extent workplace culture has been impacted. 111 professional services staff from a North Texas business were surveyed. We identified three factors for criteria of work outputs and behavior that indicates the current level of change of the culture. The three factors are identified as, Expectations (α= 0.786), Accuracy (α= 0.603), and Timeliness (α= 0.552).

Blended learning (BL) assimilates the best digital high-tech learning and traditional methods that involve students in network learning transcending physical boundaries. It has been embraced as a possibility so that knowledge can be distributed through time and space. KM-based approaches may be used to collect, coordinate, and transmit intelligence to control processes that can be utilized efficiently to recognize and share the most important details to address customer needs. This study aims to explain how to apply KM techniques in the BL environment to increase educational excellence and quality during pandemic situations. The specific consequences of BL actions are also stated in this paper. The quantitative approach was used in this study by using an electronic questionnaire from the students of the department of ISLM of the University of Dhaka, Bangladesh. Among the 272 students in the undergraduate program, 74 students replied to the online survey questionnaire. The gathered data were analyzed using SPSS version 20. The Findings of the study showed that KM can be used with BL during the COVID-19 pandemic, including integrated tasks, classroom instruction, online and e-learning. Finally, the study also proposed an intuitive model for applying BL through KM.

Poster discussing practical methods for ensuring the quality of descriptive metadata associated with linguistic datasets in language archive deposits. Digital language archives are valuable tools for facilitating language revitalization, providing data on lesser-known languages, and supporting reproducibility of research and development of linguistic theory, though their potential remains unrealized as the data available in language archives are rarely accessed by linguists or language communities. Reasons for this under-utilization are the issues with data standardization and metadata quality. Including basic grammatical and typological information would allow wider audiences to reach the material.

Cyber addiction refers to the excessive use of internet and cyber application leading to adverse outcomes such as stress, distractions, reduced motivation levels, and challenges in task orientation. Uncontrolled consumption of the internet leads to information overload that impact productivity and workplace performance (Griffiths, 2010). In such cases, the ubiquitous availability of information can lead to IT-related stress where users derive a reduced sense of satisfaction (Diomidous et al. 2016). People who frequently access the internet can experience various issues, which encompass anxiety, depression, and self-image challenges. Physically, affected individuals experience disrupted sleep patterns, irritability and high levels of fatigue. Social networking sites increase the risk of addiction and online dependency, aspects associated with low levels of productivity (Hoq, 2014). As illustrated in fig 1, the paper hypothesizes that there is a direct relationship between information overload and workplace performance and job satisfaction. The assumption is that cyber addiction worsens the problem of information overload, which in return, impacts information behavior and use and workplace/job performance (Riaz & Qureshi, 2019). The study addresses the following research questions: What is the impact of cyber addiction on workplace performance? What are the relationships between cyber addiction, information workload and information behavior and …
