Let's work together to reunite the cards with their owners
North Africa is a country with a population of 100 million citizens and all residing within 20
provinces. It is the government's responsibility to make sure that every citizen of the country
has a valid form of identity. The country was using a "Bar- Coded ID Book" as a form of
citizen's identification. Two years ago they replaced "Bar-Coded ID Book" by "Smart ID Card".
Citizens owning a Bar- Coded ID Book can apply for a Smart ID Card at no cost, new applicants
are also issued ID cards at no cost. About 50% of the population holds "Smart ID Cards".
Transiting from bar-coded ID book to "Smart ID Card" has been a successful project. However,
there is a lot of reported cases everyday where citizens are losing their ID Cards. A Smart ID
card is a small card (similar size to a bank card) with a chip that can store information about

A call centre that handles customer service telephone calls is monitored by information system that collects data on the number of calls each representative received and the length of time each representative took to answer each call and then to respond to the question or request for service. Managers at the call centre can easily obtain statistics on virtually any part of the process. And data collection is built into the system, making it unintrusive. Obviously, the manager‟s goal is to make sure all calls are answered quickly and that customers are satisfied. Information from the system can then be used in a variety of ways. For instance, a manager can use the information from the system to compare a worker‟s output to that of his colleagues, to his own earlier output, to historical outputs reflecting similar work conditions at other times. He can evaluate the number and duration of calls service representatives answer on a given day.

A hospital readmission is when a patient who is discharged from the hospital, is re-admitted again within a certain period of time. Hospital readmission rates for certain conditions are now considered an indicator of hospital quality, and also affect the cost of care adversely. For this reason, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services established the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program (HRRP) which aims to improve quality of care for patients and reduce health care spending by applying payment penalties to hospitals that have more than expected readmission rates for certain conditions. Although diabetes is not yet included in the penalty measures, the program is regularly adding new disease…arrow_forward
