Workarounds to Mandated Data Practices: Rethinking Digital Infrastructure in Child Welfare and Homeless-Serving Organizations.

The adoption and implementation of digital information management systems is largely viewed as a means for promoting efficiency in organisations. Conversely, the realisation of the benefits derived from full utilisation of integrated digital information management systems still remain distant, pointing to lack of efficiency for some universities, particularly in the context of Sub-Saharan Africa. This lack of efficiency on the part of some universities suggests the need for accelerated incremental or adaptive digital innovations which are regarded as antecedents for the full utilisation of digital information management systems. Owing to this, the purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of digital information management systems as an antecedent for human resource functions in promoting efficiency. The hypotheses are tested using a sample size of 202 comprising senior managers, heads of sections and human resource personnel. The authors identify enterprise resource planning and human resource information systems as factors that bring efficiency to human resource functions. Organisational efficiency is associated with sound human resource functions driven by full utilisation of digital information management systems. Furthermore, the realisation of efficiency requires commitment of resources by the organisation. The empirical outcomes suggest that the digital information management system in place is predominantly used for recruitment, training and development processes while performance management processes are largely done manually. This paper contributes to the research literature on the significance of digital information management systems utilisation particularly from Sub-Saharan Africa. Also, the study provides a new empirical test using a data set of 202 decision makers such as senior managers and heads of sections.

B a c k g r o u n d . Human capital acquires new properties and acts as a basic resource for the development and transformation of business into a digital format. The purpose of the study is to model a human capital management system based on digital technologies, develop a system that takes into account the specifics of management in the digital economy, as well as form a system of indicators for assessing the effectiveness of human capital and automating personnel management through HRM systems. M e t h o d s . Content analysis of the literature, methods of systemic, conceptual and logical analysis, method of systematization, modeling, analytical grouping, economic and mathematical methods and methods of scientific generalization. R e s u l t s . An effective model of human capital management using digital technologies is proposed, which includes five main blocks: strategic, structural, technological, optimization and evaluation and performance. The strategic block integrates IT solutions into the company's personnel management strategy. The structural block accumulates working conditions, corporate ethics, personnel reserve, digital competencies, etc. The technological block provides conditions and opportunities for using artificial intelligence, digital platforms, blockchain technologies and digital management systems (HRIS, ATS, PMS, LMS). The optimization block provides the model with flexibility to adapt to changes. The evaluation and performance block includes a system for assessing the effectiveness of human capital through indicators that are divided into two groups: indicators of the effectiveness of personnel use and operational control of HR functions; indicators of the level and effectiveness of automation of personnel management through the use of HRM systems. C o n c l u s i o n s . An effective human capital management model has been developed. It provides analysis and management decision-making based on one of the selected strategies (profitability, liquidation, entrepreneurial, anti-crisis, dynamic growth). The advantages of the developed model are that the integration of digital and non-digital practices in the model structure creates more value than their separate use. The study confirms the hypothesis that the development of digital technologies and the implementation of digital strategic management systems create fundamentally new prospects for the formation and development of human capital, which positively affects the efficiency of personnel and the company as a whole.

Under the background of increasingly prominent environmental problems, the establishment and application of digital information management systems established by the digital economy have brought new opportunities and challenges to the green transformation of manufacturing enterprises. Considering the micro level of Chinese manufacturing enterprises, does the adoption of information management systems really promote the improvement of the green transformation level of manufacturing enterprises? This paper takes the adoption of digital information management systems by China's enterprises as a "quasi natural" experiment and uses the Difference-in-Difference and Propensity Score Matching model (PSM-DID) to explore its impact on the green transformation of manufacturing enterprises and its mechanism. The study found that the adoption of digital information management systems by enterprises significantly improved the green transformation level of manufacturing enterprises, especially the symbolic green transformation level, and had no significant positive effect on the substantive green transformation level. The mechanism analysis shows that manufacturing enterprises can achieve green transformation by adopting information management systems to improve the digital level, strengthen green innovation ability, and increase the redundant resources of enterprises. The heterogeneity analysis based on the internal governance and external environment of enterprises shows that the adoption of digital information management systems by manufacturing enterprises has significantly improved the green transformation level of non-state-owned enterprises, enterprises with high corporate governance, non-heavily polluting enterprises, and enterprises in the eastern region. The research conclusion enriches the research related to digitalization and green transformation of enterprises and has important inspiration for Chinese manufacturing enterprises to use digitalization capabilities to seek green sustainable development under the wave of digital economy development.

Digitization, as a process of comprehensive use of digital technologies, significantly affects the management decision-making process and determines the development of digital management. The article aims to investigate the role of digital management in increasing the efficiency of activities and the development of the enterprise in general. The concept of digital management is the basis for understanding the elements of digital management. Among the main advantages of digital management are the ability to collect and analyse large volumes of data, automation of interaction with partners and customers, improvement of management tools, etc. Peculiarities of the formation of the digital management system in practice have been studied in the example of Nestlé and Roshen companies. Nestlé's digital transformation experience uses tools like artificial intelligence, cloud technologies, blockchain, and big data. The Roshen company actively implements digital technologies in production, sales, and personnel management. The development and implementation of the corresponding strategy is the digitalization management tool. The digitalization strategy is the process of introducing digital technologies into various spheres of the company's activity. Based on a review of scientific sources, essential elements of digital management, such as leadership, a balanced approach, and the taking of promising trends into account, were determined. The article also provides a list of typical programs used in digital management. It also emphasized the importance of creating favourable conditions for forming a digital management system; in particular, it is necessary to implement strategic planning, support management, train staff, and provide resources. Recommendations on the implementation of digital management at Ukrainian enterprises are provided.

A Digital Image Management System encompasses all information related to Diagnostic or Therapeutic images used in a clinical setting. This includes the order entry process, movement of the order information to a Modality, image acquisition and processing, movement of the image data to an archive, movement of the images and order data to Radiologist and Clinician viewing stations, and reporting the interpretation of the images. Note that a Digital Image Management System includes more than just image storage and viewing inferred by the title Picture Archive and Communication System (PACS). Therefore when a Physicist is asked to consult in planning a PACS they should be thinking about the workflow and data required to produce the final product, i.e. the Radiologist Report with associated images, and so they are actually consulting on the implementation of a Digital Image Management System. The areas that a Physicist should provide information to a site when planning such systems include:1. Digital image acquisition/modality options for each study,2. Modality integration and testing,3. Bandwidth and storage requirements,4. Radiologist and clinician softcopy viewing requirements,5. Digital imaging Quality Assessment (QA) protocolsThe needs in each of these areas relative to planning a Digital Image Management System will be reviewed with suggestions on further educational resources.Educational Objectives:1.

The article defines the concept of digital innovation as a type of innovation based on the implementation and use of digital technologies that change products, services, business processes and interaction models inside and outside the organization. Significant differences between digital innovations and traditional innovations are: they are based not on material technologies, but on digital ones; the result is software solutions, platforms, services; the speed of dissemination is much higher than traditional innovations due to the use of flexible management methodologies; the sources of created value are data and their analysis, interaction, user experience; the type of effective interaction is a network ecosystem, a digital platform; high scalability when using platforms and network ecosystems. A model of the digital innovation management system of industrial enterprises has been developed. It consists of interacting subsystems of digital management (control subsystem) and digital technologies (managed subsystem). In turn, the digital management subsystem is a complex set of digital culture, digital strategy, digital interaction, flexible management methods, as well as changes in the business model and organizational structure. An analysis of digital innovation management indicators in Ukraine was conducted, which indicate contradictory trends: on the one hand, Ukraine is an exporter of digital technology development services, which implies at least the presence of qualified personnel who are able to create appropriate software and have a digital culture. On the other hand, the penetration of digital technologies into national industrial enterprises has extremely low indicators, which is determined by the low level of development of industrial enterprises themselves. Such trends are explained by the predominance of short-term financial interests over long-term economic interests and cannot ensure sustainable long-term development of the national economy, which implies the need to change priorities in favor of the innovative and investment development of national industrial enterprises.

To evaluate acceptability, efficiency, and quality of a new digital care management system in a residential aged care home (RACH). Improving care quality and efficiency in RACH, while simultaneously upgrading data management, is a priority for communities and governments. Participatory action research with mixed methods data collection was employed to evaluate a digital care management system implemented at a 169-bed RACH. This paper reports qualitative findings of the 2-year evaluation. Qualitative data were collected using focus groups with residents, visitors, nurses, managers, care workers, and consultants; resident/visitor and staff hallway interviews and responses to open-ended questions in online staff surveys. Data were analysed thematically under the four predetermined study objectives. Reporting adhered to COREQ guidelines. 325 data captures from 88 participants, over seven data sources were coded. Findings indicate that the system was acceptable to both residents and staff due to perceptions of time-saving and improved quality of care. Increased efficiency was perceived through timeliness as well as reduced time spent retrieving and documenting information. Quality of care was improved through care scheduling individualised to resident needs, with reminders to avoid missed care. Relatives were reassured and activities were scheduled to loved one's preferences. The co-design implementation process was successful through commitment to quality from leadership teams and prioritising the focus on the holistic needs of the residents. A strong emphasis on co-design with care staff in developing and implementing the digital care system contributed to a system that supported nursing and care work, facilitated reporting and documentation, and improved resident care and well-being including identification of missed care. Nurses, carers, administrators, and advocates can support the co-design creation of information systems that suit the workflow of an organisation and keep the focus on individualised models of care provision.
