thesis
posted on 2018-08-15, 10:19 authored by Saleh Al-ZahraniThe use of computer networks is set to become an essential part of the ICT infrastructure
in Saudi Arabia. They have the potential to be used in all aspects of society. As an
example of an application domain, this study will investigate the likely system
requirements for computer networks in Saudi University Hospitals. The principal aim of
this study is to investigate the provision of a computer network system to link Saudi
University Hospitals electronically in order to exchange medical information.
To draw appropriate conclusions and make recommendations that are both systemically
desirable and culturally feasible, empirical data have been collected via document
analysis, direct observation, interviews and questionnaires, using a sample of 900
clinicians and computer staff from three University Hospitals. [Continues.]
