Combating the corporate paper war: optimising electronic mail and electronic filingBothma, Marchelle Marelize 11 1900 (has links)
Thesis (M. Tech. (Office management & Technology)) -- Vaal University of Technology / The primary objective of this research project was primarily to investigate filing methods
and mailing practices in the computer support or administrative environment with specific
focus on the abuse of paper.
The research design consisted of an exploratory investigation in selected Higher
Education Institutions in the Province of Gauteng whereby a structured questionnaire was
used as a measuring instrument. The investigation was sub-divided into two categories,
namely, paper-based filing systems and mailing systems as opposed to electronic filing
and mailing systems.
In the empirical findings, analysis and interpretations, correlation and cross-tabulation
were done on all sets of variables in order to determine whether any meaningful
associations could be found.
With reference to the title of this study "Combating the corporate paper war: optimising
electronic mail and electronic filing", it has been proven that the war against paper abuse
is far from over. Perceptions regarding a future paperless office and assumptions that
technology such as the electronic mail facility and electronic filing could assist
organisations to combat paper abuse were unfounded, due to a lack of guidance and
control measures in the corporate environment.
Consequently, it is recommended that an e-filing and e-mailing model be created and
followed in conjunction with specified computer software features in order to counteract
the abuse of paper.
Follow-up research could focus on electronic filing methods versus scanning of
documents for filing purposes.

Design and implementation of a basic laboratory information system for resource-limited settingsMonu, Ruban 27 May 2010 (has links)
Basic Laboratory Information System (BLIS) is a joint initiative of C4G @ Georgia Tech, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Ministries of Health in several countries in Africa. The vast majority of health laboratories in Africa, engaged in routinely testing samples drawn from patients (for HIV, malaria etc.), have been using non-standardized paper logs and manual entries for keeping track of patients, test samples and results. Besides the obvious burden of tedious record-keeping, these methods increase the chances of errors due to transcription and mismatches, making it difficult to track patient history or view critical population-wide data. In 2008, PEPFAR (the United States President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief) together with the CDC was reauthorized with a $48 billion budget over five years to combat HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria. The focus of PEPFAR has shifted from rapid scale-up to the quality and reliability of the clinical health programs and having an effective laboratory management system is one of its goals.
C4G BLIS is a robust, customizable and easy-to-use system that keeps track of patients, samples, results, lab workflow and reports. It is meant to be an effective and sustainable enhancement to manual logs and paper-based approaches. The system is designed to work in resource-constrained laboratories with limited IT equipment and across sites with good, intermittent or no internet availability. With varied practices, workflow and terminology being followed across laboratories in various African countries, the system has been developed to enable each laboratory or country to customize and configure the system in a way that suits them best. We describe various aspects of BLIS including its flexible database schema design, configurable reports and language settings, end-user customizability and development model for rapid incorporation of user feedback. Through BLIS, we aim to demonstrate a sustainable ICT solution brought about by the early and constant involvement of the target laboratory staff and technicians, identifying their short- and long-term needs, and ensuring that the system can match these needs. We will present preliminary evaluation results from laboratories in Cameroon, Ghana, Tanzania and Uganda.
