ABSTRACT
The emergence of knowledge management (KM) technologies has been enabling health care sectors to promote effective management of knowledge and provide evidence-based medicine for improving service deliveries. As a result, the health care industry is increasingly becoming a knowledge-based community that depends critically on using technologies to KM activities. This paper attempts to review various literatures and gives an intellectual background to the study from various studies conducted by different researchers on the thoughts of various KM technologies in health systems. According to the study, technologies play a prominent role in health care sectors in utilizing their organizational and personal knowledge effectively which in turn enhances the quality of health care services. The usage and practice of KM in the health sector is increasingly promoted due to the emergence of health information technology. Thereare number of information technology solutions that assist healthcare sectors in knowledge management. Health care portals, search engines, retrieval and classification tools, e-collaboration tools, content management systems and other technologies are widely employed to manage the massive and ongoing health information and share it with their users. Therefore, it is indispensable to pay special attention in using these technologies to manage organizational and individual knowledge available within and outside healthcare organization. Overall, this study has proved that information and communication technologyare valuable to support and scale up knowledge management processes for the effectiveness and quality of health care services
ABSTRACT
The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of information and communication technology (ICT) integration in the teaching and learning practices of educational systems. The study is carried out by reviewing various literatures and studies on the ideas of ICT and its usage in teaching and learning practices. The study reveals that ICT is vital to transform the teaching and learning process and has a great importance for both teachers and students. It also looks at the definitions of ICT as given by different scholars. Lack of well-equipped ICT tools, beliefs and commitments of teachers as well as students onTechnology-based Teaching and Learning practices are the main challenges of ICTimplementation in education successfully
ABSTRACT
While civil registration and vital statistics (CRVS) plays prominent roles to improve public sector management, i.e., the economic, social and political issues of a population, its adoption has not been yet without challenges and is still in its infant stage in most developing countries, including Ethiopia. This study reviews various literatures and studies made by different researchers and institutions related to the status, challenges and opportunities of CRVS in Ethiopia. Even though, CRVS has got a national recognition before hundred years in the country, the directives and rules are not issued for implementation. According to the findings,Ethiopia is among the countries that have not yet installed CRVS systems in both national and regional levels successfully. It is challenged by infrastructure, capacity building and lack of awareness among the population on the benefits of the system. The status of civil registration and vital statistics is in the lowestrank in Ethiopia. Recently, the aid agencies and the government has been giving special attention to scale up its performance in different parts of the country
