MUST BE ORIGINAL. Rick, this is the weekly discussion that I need help with.  you know the deal. no need to be formatted in any type of form. but please answer the questions below.  thank big.  you can refer to the UMUC Clinic Family Case

As identified in the UMUC Family Clinic Case Study, there are several clinical and administrative processes that could us improvement, including: scheduling patients, checking patients in, ordering laboratory tests, submitting prescriptions to pharmacies, ordering office supplies, billing insurance companies, etc. Separate IT solutions could be implemented for each of the processes. However, you know that if you could combine these into an enterprise system, you would be able to significantly improve the operations of UMUC Family Clinic.

Group B: You begin your analysis by answering the following questions:

1. What opportunities would be missed if each area (scheduling, check-in, supply ordering, billing, etc.) maintained its own "stove piped" data? (Provide some examples.)
2. What benefits will the UMUC Family Clinic realize if you implement an enterprise-wide system? Identify how Dr. Martin as the overall owner and manager will benefit from having additional information available.
3. What types of decisions that he makes would be improved if he had all this information in one place?
