The Effect Of Poor Technology Infrastructure On Information Storage In Healthcare Institutions

Data Collection

The process of collecting data will entail, the activity of gathering of data which is converted to information ,this is to obtain the desirable variables which will be effectively used to give solution to the research topic on the effect of poor technology infrastructure on the storage of information (John  2016).

The data collected will however be used to analyze and in evaluation of the challenges associated with poor storage of health records as a result of poor technology adopted in various medical institution.

Below are the various sources of information of the data for this research.

During the research period the required information is obtained from various sources, however the sources include the primary, secondary or the triangulations.

The primary source of information entails the collecting the data through the conduction of experiments, conductions of surveys or even through the personal observations.

The secondary source of information will entails the collection of data from other sources which includes the journals or other secondary sources of information which can be in electronic form (Michael  2011).

The triangulation format will entail collection of data where the both the secondary source and primary source is used however the below are some examples of the primary and secondary sources of information:

This is the information gathered by the researcher directly from source.

1. interviewing
2. observations
3. conducting the research
4. cases studying
5. narrations
6. Use of questionnaire.

This is the data obtained from other existing sources of data.

1. Earlier researches.
2. Officials statistic
3. Mass media products
4. Diary records
5. Referenced letters
6. Report form Government’s records
7. From the websites.
8. Data from the history archives.

During the process of collecting the data I found it most appropriate to use the primary source of information, this will enable one get most appropriate and original form of information ,however the method used was through administration of use of secondary sources ,questionnaires and use of observations. Below is the record of the required sources of information.

The collected data from the various sources which I identified as source one and source two was records in the Microsoft office excel, this will be recorded in the form of columns and rows of the data, however the choice of the excel software is to ensure that the data will be easily analyzed to be able to obtain the desirable output after conducting the necessary analysis.

The table below shows the various files where the data collected and obtained is stored which is later used for analysis purpose.

During the stage of data processing the various activities are used which includes validating data which ensures the correctness and relevance of the corrected data ,however the summarization of data is also done in order to ensure that the data is summarized where main points only are taken and used (Kathy  2016).

Primary and Secondary Sources of Data Collection

Then the process will then involve selection of the most preferable source of data where the data will be analyzed to give the required information, however for this process the data 2 will be used to give the analytical data ,the data used was made of three major columns as described in the below tables (Norman  2015).

The selected data2 is now used to conduct the analysis, however before analysis there will be some features that will be eliminated to ensure that the data is easy to understand and analyze, this will only be achieved by elimination of some less relevant columns as described in the table below (Steinar 2014).

The resulting files are then saved in different format file which will eventual be used for analyzing the data ,below is a table recording the number of columns used in each set of data (Matthew  2015).

The experiment is now designed according to the type of the data obtained this is ideally going to be achieved through the process of data analysis where the most appropriate tool will be the use of the excel sheet, this will allow description of the results in terms of percentages and the graphically the table below illustrates the experiments conducted.

The experiments is going to be implemented through the use of the Microsoft excel software, however this will be done by analyzing the data summarized and generating the graphs and diagrams accordingly (Barney  2015).

During the research there were the set expectations of the resulting of the analysis of the experiments ,this experiments  conducted is expected to deriver the viable result  where the proportion of the failures in various health care centers where the hospitals where they lack computerized systems for data storage are at highly risked to lose their data and therefore the hospitals management tend to lose more patients data and therefore the patients records are not easily tracked (Johnny 2015).

However as per my expectation the organizations with manual systems have the following results in regard to chances of data loss (Gary 2016).

(Robert 2015)

After the analysis of the data through the experiments the following is the results analysis as compared to the expected results the where the data1 and data2 was used (Wayne 2016).

The table below shows the summary of the expected results and the final results.
