Analysis Of The Implementation And Implications Of OECD/G20 Pillar One On The Taxation System In Indonesia

One of the efforts taken by member countries of OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework for BEPS is to capture tax revenue from the digital economy is called Pillar One: Unified Approach specifically Amount A. This research aims to obtain information on the progress and obstacles on the implementation of Pillar One in Indonesia, including the impact generated by Pillar One as well as understand policy alternatives that could potentially become replacement for Pillar One. The method used in this research is qualitative with a case study approach. The results obtained in this study show that currently Pillar One cannot be implemented because it encounters various obstacles and is related to other jurisdictions. If Pillar One has been implemented, the implications are additional tax revenue potential but relatively low, adjustment on policy, tax administration systems, IT systems and human resources. Pillar One, which has the potential to be canceled, raises alternative policies that can be implemented by Indonesia such as Digital service tax, Article 12B UN Model Convention and new PE criteria namely Significant Economic Presence. The government must reconsider the cost and benefit on implementation of Pillar One. The government must also prepare and compile alternative policies and supporting aspects such as IT system development due to the potential failure of the Pillar One implementation.

What Caused the EHR to Crash? Lessons Learned

After a power disruption in a medical office building led to a catastrophic shutdown of the IT servers and ultimately to a loss of the use of EHR and administrative IT systems, a root cause analysis was applied to identify the security threats to the IT systems of a multispecialty group and ways to mitigate this threat in the future.

523 The Development of an Institutional Study Start-up Tracker for Industry Sponsored Clinical Trials

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Duke University developed a Project Tracker system to provide transparency into the complex study start-up process for Industry sponsored clinical trials. Partnering with process owners, investigators, research teams, and IT developers, we aimed to reduce timelines for IRB approval, Contract Execution, and Billing/Calendar setup. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: In 2019, a partnership of administrative stakeholders and IT developers began engaging with the primary populations involved in study start-up: research study teams (STs) and research administrators (RAs). A series of workgroups and feedback sessions revealed common themes with a slightly different scope: STs were interested in the progress of individual projects awaiting approval whereas RAs needed an aggregate view of start-up metrics over time and a way to help troubleshoot delays for individuals. Both groups were hindered by data captured across multiple systems, limited understanding of the entire approval process, and an absence of reliable indicators for delays or outstanding requirements. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: In mid-2021, we delivered a Project Tracker system comprised of two main components, accessible via Dukes myRESEARCHhome portal: 1) a Tableau metrics dashboard for RAs that aggregates retrospective data quarterly, visualizing time to completion of approval workflow milestones with defined outliers, filterable by investigator, unit, or sponsor. 2) a project status tracker for STs (with a complementary view for RAs) that consolidates status information for projects awaiting approval, visualizing the process in a linear fashion with clear indicators of progress and steps awaiting study team action. This involved defining the milestones for each workflow, mapping milestones to application variables, combining the variables in a common data mart, and developing the interfaces with user-centered design. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Given its recent implementation, the impact of the tool on start-up timelines cannot yet be determined. However, our development process led to key insights: a simplified process visualization limited to key milestones allows STs and RAs to understand responsibilities, address delays and data discrepancies, and reinforce institutional process.

Challenges Confronting Implementation of Electronic Human Resource Information System in Public Institutions

The general objective of this study was to determine the challenges in implementing an electronic human resource management system in public institutions in Zanzibar. The study was conducted at the Ministry of Labour, Empowerment, Elders, Women and Children Zanzibar (MLEEWC). The target population was the employees of MLEEWC, including the directors, officers in charge, heads of departments, human resource and administrative officers, planning officers, IT staff and other official staffs of the Ministry from different departments. The methodological tools that were employed in the data collection include questionnaires, and interviews. The sample size was approximately 85 employees. The respondents were administered with a Likert based structured questionnaire to rank the technological, organisational and environmental(regulatory) challenges for e-HRIS implementation. With the aid of the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS), descriptive and correlational analysis was used to assess the technological, organisational and environmental challenges in implementing electronic human resource system in MLEEWC. The results show that all the indicators used to assess the technological, organisational and environmental challenges contribute as challenges in the course of e-HRIS implementation and that there was a positive correlation between the three categories of challenges and the e-HRIS implementation. The study recommends for the public institution administrators and particularly policy-maker among other things, to improve technological resources, enhance the management support and establish a sound ICT policy in order to ensure effective implementation of intended information systems.

Early adopters of paramedic prescribing: a qualitative study.

Aims:To explore the experience of paramedics who are early adopters of independent prescribing in a range of healthcare settings in the United Kingdom.Methods:Following a public consultation by NHS England in 2015, the decision was made in March 2018 to amend legislation to enable advanced paramedics to independently prescribe medicine in UK settings. Capturing the experience of these ‘early adopters’ will help to identify where paramedic prescribing can produce optimum benefits in healthcare systems, as well as enabling early scoping out of challenges to implementation and strategies for resolving challenges. This exploratory qualitative study involved interviews with 17 paramedics who have undertaken the independent prescribing programme in the United Kingdom. Participants were recruited via social media and regional paramedic networks between May and July 2019. Interviews were conducted by telephone or video call and explored use/anticipated use of prescribing, benefits and challenges to prescribing and support for the prescribing role. Thematic analysis was conducted to identify key themes.Results:Of the 17 participants, six were currently prescribing and the remainder were awaiting annotation. Participants worked in a range of settings, including: primary care, emergency departments, urgent care, walk in centres and rapid response services. Key benefits to prescribing were similar to those reported by other non-doctor prescribers and included: streamlining care for patients, improving safety, improving efficiency and facilitating new advanced clinical practice roles. Key challenges included: administrative IT issues, lack of ability to prescribe controlled drugs and managing patient/colleague expectations around paramedic prescribing. In general, participants felt supported in their prescribing role, both by doctors and other non-doctor prescribers, and felt confident to prescribe following the prescribing course. Concerns were raised about potential isolation in some settings, lack of parity in prescribing legislation across different professions and the way this is taught in prescribing programmes.Conclusion:Indications are that paramedic prescribing is rolling out successfully in line with expectations. Barriers and facilitators are similar to those reported by other non-doctor prescribers and independent prescribing is already an essential component to advanced practitioner roles in settings such as primary care. Findings highlight a need for greater alignment of prescribing legislation across non-doctor prescribers from different professions undertaking advanced roles.

The Impact of E-Procurement Implementation in Infrastructure Projects

This paper aims to explore systematically about impact as well as facilitators and barriers of e-procurement implementation in the Ministry of Public Works and Housing. This study used qualitative approach and RE-AIM framework. The data were collected from semi-structured interviews and secondary data such as blueprint, strategic planning document, performance report, activities report, and financial report. The findings show that e-procurement implementation in Ministry of Public Works and Housing has reached the target of users, reduced cost and time, followed regulation, and become routine activity. Moreover, there are facilitators of the e-procurement implementation which are software integration, data management, IT infrastructure, and roll-out strategy. However, some barriers which are legal and administrative procedure, system security, and IT staff and skills, are found as barriers in implementing e-procurement

Low-Low (LL) high human capital clusters in public administration employment - predictor for digital infrastructure public investment priority - Romania case study

Disruptive innovations generated by digital technologies push the public services to digital transformation in order to become not only a problems solver for community, but a real social, economic and environmental development engine. With all significant progress, the use of e-Government services in Romania remains the lowest in the EU; high quality services are not available in a significant part of rural areas. The paper highlighted the spatial heterogeneities of the broadband infrastructure at level of NUTS – 5 expansion correlated to Low-Low (LL) high human capital clusters in public administration and marginalized rural areas. Using data from World Bank studies, provided in the ArcGis Cloud, from Romanian broadband investment prioritization and micro data provided by INS census, we developed a spatial cluster analysis by the means of ESDA method. In public administration the high human capital is clustered in a few innovative hubs which in the absence of a functional and interconnected national administration IT system makes difficult the public administration modernization, especially in the context of regional decentralization. At the county level is visible the pattern of center periphery, where the center is usually the county residence and the LL clusters are the frontier of the counties. Usually, at this frontier are located marginalized rural areas where are provided poor public services. As a recommendation, the future e-government development must be spatial harmonized with the high human capital in order to assure a valuable public service, everywhere, whether it is the smallest village or a big city, to reconnect the public to the state and the state to the public in an inclusive and intelligent manner.

Case Open UEF – To do together

At the University of Eastern Finland (UEF) Library, the national Open Science and Research initiative (2014–2017, Ministry of Education and Culture of Finland) triggered the planning and construction of open science related research support services. Planning of support services with themes of open access scholarly publishing, open research data and open study material began at full throttle at the UEF Library in November 2015. Information specialists were grouped into teams, which orientated to separate aspects of open science and shared their knowledge by training the whole library staff. Teamwork continued actively over the year 2016. Open science continuously brings new tasks for the Library and has already notably changed the job profiles of the library specialists.Advancing open science has been considered highly important not only at the library but also at the university level. UEF has offered resources e.g. by recruiting new information specialists and a data protection officer and internal auditor. UEF Library has a vital role in conducting open science but it is practiced in close collaboration with University Services, especially that of Development Services, General Administration and Legal Services and IT Services. Open Science team has landed the departments to share information and to discuss about open science practices at UEF. Nowadays these roadshows concerning UEF publishing and data policy, open access (OA) publishing as well as research data management and sharing are our focal operation.Work continues but the results can already be seen: In the OA ranking of research organisations in Finland (Ministry of Education and Culture of Finland), UEF has achieved level four in the five-level maturity model. Also, UEF researchers can order tailored training sessions about open research and support services from the diverse training menu offered by the Library. Updated Open UEF web pages are available for everyone and multi-channeled informing directed to UEF staff and students continues online. One concrete output from conducted open science and active campaigning about self-archiving is UEF institutional publication repository, UEF//eRepository, which was launched in February 2017. At the moment about 31% of UEF scientific publications are open access, but substantial increase is expected. The next big challenge in open research is data management and opening. UEF Library is starting to build a metadata portal for research data in order to conceive the data produced by UEF researchers and to help finding data for potential reuse.Open science will also be included in information retrieval studies of master's degree and doctoral students. To encourage students and teachers in OA publishing, during the international open access week, one student publishing master's thesis openly will be rewarded with a stipend by the Library. Department having the highest rate of OA master's theses will also be adorned with flowers.Open science is a matter of teamwork, committing and keeping up to date.

The Role of E-Government Tools in the Business Activation of Regions

In the contemporary economy the more and more greater role is played by state and local government institutions. Offices of public administration not only create law, but more and more often become initiators of the different type of investments undertaken on the ground of their jurisdiction. Often neighbouring administrative units begin to compete between themselves in gaining of investments and resources for the purpose of its own development. In the functionality of mentioned offices the greater role is performed by IT systems building the architecture of a given unit, clearly expressed among other things in the idea of intelligent city. Applied by offices of public administration IT systems are more often opened for suppliants creating e-government tools [1]. In this paper was presented the role of e-government tools in the business activation of the region on the basis of IT systems made available by Czestochowa Municipal Office. The review of potential directions of the e-government tools usage in different areas of social-economic life of the city will be presented

Multimodales Dokumentenmanagement in der Strahlentherapie

After incorporating treatment planning and the organisational model of treatment planning in the operating schedule system (BAS, "Betriebsablaufsystem"), complete document qualities were embedded in the digital environment. The aim of this project was to integrate all documents independent of their source (paper-bound or digital) and to make content from the BAS available in a structured manner. As many workflow steps as possible should be automated, e.g. assigning a document to a patient in the BAS. Additionally it must be guaranteed that at all times it could be traced who, when, how and from which source documents were imported into the departmental system. Furthermore work procedures should be changed that the documentation conducted either directly in the departmental system or from external systems can be incorporated digitally and paper document can be completely avoided (e.g. documents such as treatment certificate, treatment plans or documentation). It was a further aim, if possible, to automate the removal of paper documents from the departmental work flow, or even to make such paper documents superfluous. In this way patient letters for follow-up appointments should automatically generated from the BAS. Similarly patient record extracts in the form of PDF files should be enabled, e.g. for controlling purposes. The available document qualities were analysed in detail by a multidisciplinary working group (BAS-AG) and after this examination and assessment of the possibility of modelling in our departmental workflow (BAS) they were transcribed into a flow diagram. The gathered specifications were implemented in a test environment by the clinical and administrative IT group of the department of radiation oncology and subsequent to a detailed analysis introduced into clinical routine. The department has succeeded under the conditions of the aforementioned criteria to embed all relevant documents in the departmental workflow via continuous processes. Since the completion of the concepts and the implementation in our test environment 15,000 documents were introduced into the departmental workflow following routine approval. Furthermore approximately 5000 appointment letters for patient aftercare per year were automatically generated by the BAS. In addition patient record extracts in the form of PDF files for the medical services of the healthcare insurer can be generated.

Integration der Bestrahlungsplanung in den volldigitalen Workflow

At the Clinic of Radiotherapy at the University Hospital Freiburg, all relevant workflow is paperless. After implementing the Operating Schedule System (OSS) as a framework, all processes are being implemented into the departmental system MOSAIQ. Designing a digital workflow for radiotherapy irradiation planning is a large challenge, it requires interdisciplinary expertise and therefore the interfaces between the professions also have to be interdisciplinary. For every single step of radiotherapy irradiation planning, distinct responsibilities have to be defined and documented. All aspects of digital storage, backup and long-term availability of data were considered and have already been realized during the OSS project. After an analysis of the complete workflow and the statutory requirements, a detailed project plan was designed. In an interdisciplinary workgroup, problems were discussed and a detailed flowchart was developed. The new functionalities were implemented in a testing environment by the Clinical and Administrative IT Department (CAI). After extensive tests they were integrated into the new modular department system. The Clinic of Radiotherapy succeeded in realizing a completely digital workflow for radiotherapy irradiation planning. During the testing phase, our digital workflow was examined and afterwards was approved by the responsible authority.

The Effect of Information Technology Investments in Healthcare: A Longitudinal Study of its Lag, Duration, and Economic Value

This research develops a framework that disaggregates investments in IT in the healthcare industry into four distinct categories: investments in patient management IT (PMIT), transactional support IT (TSIT), communications IT (CIT), and administrative IT (AIT). In a longitudinal study, financial and operational data from several hospitals spanning 26 years are analyzed to examine the lag as well as duration of the effect of these IT investments on hospital costs and labor productivity. The results reveal that TSIT capital has an immediate effect on medical labor and administrative labor productivities, and a lagged but durable effect on operating costs. CIT capital has an immediate but short-term effect on medical labor and administrative labor productivities. AIT capital has an immediate but short-term effect on medical labor productivity. PMIT capital, on the other hand, increases operating costs, an effect that is immediate but short-term. Finally, post hoc marginal analysis reveals that among the four types of IT investments, CIT has the maximum economic value effect on hospital productivity, followed by TSIT, and then AIT; with PMIT having a minimal economic value effect.

Outsourcing and Offshoring of Business Services: Challenges to Theory, Management and Geography of Innovation

Drawing on an original survey, we discuss the trends and challenges posed by the outsourcing and offshoring of business services. We document and analyse the increasing offshoring of business services (administrative services, call centres, IT services, procurement and product development) from USA and Europe to less developed countries, the functions offshored, size of offshorers, destination, and delivery models and explore the role of ICTs and the development of both large global services suppliers and entrepreneurial ventures in developed and less developed countries. We derive implications regarding outsourcing decisions, globalisation of high value adding activities, such as product development and innovation, raising issues of evolving market structure and the emergence of technical clusters where companies develop expertise to provide, and compete for, activities and skills across a range of sectors.

中国おける沿岸・海洋管理の動向

This paper reviews the past, present and future of the coastal and marine management in China through internet exploring and researcher interviews. The results show that the coastal and marine management in China is rapidly being improved recently despite of its short history of no more than 30 years. The largest characteristics of current coastal and marine management in China are the separation of the ownership and use rights of coastal and marine areas, and implementation of charge for coastal and marine uses that is based on a market mechanism. New trends in coastal and marine management in China lie in administrative collaboration, legal integration, IT application and public participation to reach good governance of coast and marine areas. All that are done in China are regarded good experiences and could provide important clues for integrated coastal and marine management in Japan.

Moderate impact of ERPS on management accounting: a lag or permanent outcome?

The currently most advanced administrative corporate IT solutions have emerged in the form of enterprise resource planning systems (ERPS). The number of adopters of this new integrated information technology is increasing rapidly. Still, we know very little about the practical consequences these new systems have for managerial accounting and control, and thereby corporate management. The purpose of this study is to explore the effects of integrated, enterprise-wide information systems on management accounting and management accountants’ work. Data for the analysis were gathered through a field study of ten companies (e.g. ABB and Nokia) that have experience of integrated information systems in Finland. Our findings indicate that, so far, the ERPS projects have led to relatively small changes in management accounting and control procedures. Also, in most of the cases, advanced management accounting techniques—and many of the traditional ones too (e.g. annual budgeting)—are operated in separate systems. For management accountants, ERPS have in some cases left more time for analysis instead of routine tasks. The reasons for these findings are discussed and ideas for further research are presented.
