Systems Engineering Documentation
When a scientist is developing a new pharmaceutical, an inventor is creating an alternative to an existing product, and a researcher is determining an easier method to develop a chemical process, they continually take notes or document each of their actions. This significantly reduces the amount of errors when others repeat the work to move ahead in the process and allows for the exact specifications to be copied when successful results are achieved.
Systems engineering follows this same pattern. In fact, documentation is an essential aspect, because of the creation of new designs and end products that meet the identified need of the customer. In Systems Engineering and Analysis, Benjamin Blanchard explains the importance of documentation as a design aid. Throughout the systems design process, which starts on a theoretical plane with an idea and evolves into a more specific set of steps and procedures, engineers often use documentation from other models and end products to build or enhance their own work.

They would rather take the knowledge gained by others to make improvements or alternative concepts with the additional learning they have acquired. Systems engineers, then, often use previous documentation to decide on a design approach, select the necessary component piece, and decide on the reliability and effectiveness of an item.
Design documentation can be divided into two categories, notes Blanchard. The first, design standards documentation, is when the engineers use manuals that cover preferred component parts and supplier data, mathematical and statistical tables, stress-strength tables, and engineering drawing practices.
Design criteria documentation is applied to cover areas including reliability, maintainability, human factors and safety. In this case, documentation refers to design features such as accessibility, diagnostic and testing provisions, packaging and mounting techniques, interchangeability, controls and panel display methods, human performance capabilities, reliability and safety characteristics.

System Analysis of T-SYSTEM Because of its ability to improve the quality and delivery of health care services, the Electronic Health Record is becoming a necessity in almost every healthcare organization. The purpose of this paper is to explain the impact of having an electronic health record system in an emergency department. The current computerized system used at Suny Downstate Hospital in Brooklyn is called T-SYSTEM, and has been in operation

new detection technologies advanced in the prevention of concealment of explosives. Current security methods in place for detection of explosives The hunt to develop new and improved instruments to eradicate terrorism is on the increase as terrorists progressively produce increasingly more sophisticated instruments. Some of the high explosives that terrorists use such as RDX, TNT, and C4 propel huge blasts that are not always manageable by modern instruments. Added to that
information technology skills I acquired through the military are transferable to civilian situations. The 20 years I gave to the military have placed me in a wide variety of situations quite different from what others might encounter in civilian life. My experience in the U.S. Navy has allowed me to learn new skills in the information technology field and I have been able to apply them in new situations. The

Inefficient Healthcare Routines, Examples of Participative Decision-Making in the Workplace Routine practices are performed on the premise that all clients, patients, their families, visitors and residents are potentially infectious even without visible symptoms (PIDAC, 2009). These practices are conducted in order to prevent exposure to the various vehicles of infection and their spread. The major ones are risk assessment, hand hygiene, control of the environment, administrative controls, and immunization (PIDAC). But
