Design and Implementation of a Web-Based Food Ordering Platform for Academic Environments

This study was undertaken to measure the medication error rates associated with verbal orders compared with handwritten and computer-entered orders in an acute-care children's hospital. All medication and intravenous fluid orders for a 3-month interval were entered into a computer database. For the same interval, all errors pertaining to the transmission of a medication or intravenous fluid order were also entered into the database. Errors were detected by the hospital pharmacy, which continuously reviews all inpatient medication and intravenous fluid orders for potential errors before dispensing. Errors were also detected by nurses on the floors, who submit incident reports when medication or intravenous fluid errors occur. Verbal orders were associated with significantly lower error rates than either handwritten orders or computer-entered orders (2.6, 8.5, and 6.3 per 1000, respectively), with transcription errors and dosage errors in particular being reduced. Total error rates did not differ between residents and attending physicians. Error rates did not differ between verbal, written, and computer orders for medications with a low frequency of verbal orders and therefore presumed greater complexity. However, the verbal order error rates seemed more sensitive to order complexity than order error rates in general. The hypothesis that verbal orders are more prone to transmission error than written or computer orders is not supported by the findings in this study. Identifying medications with high levels of order complexity for restriction of verbal order use seems justified. Suggested guidelines for verbal order transmission are presented.

The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated digital transformation (DT) across various industries, including higher education (HE). In response to the dynamic demands of contemporary society, higher education institutions (HEIs) must swiftly adapt and transform. However, existing research has revealed a prevalent lack of strategic vision regarding DT in HE, often limited to the mere integration of technology. This study employs a systematic literature review (SLR) as a methodological framework to identify and categorize DT challenges and strategies within HE accelerated after the pandemic event. Findings from this SLR highlight four distinct categories of challenges and strategies in DT: Strategic-Administrative, Teaching-Learning, Technical-Technological, and Social-Cultural. Notably, the literature tends to focus more on identifying challenges, revealing an unbalanced emphasis compared to analyzing how HEIs are actively progressing in their DT efforts. Furthermore, there is a significant absence of impact analysis regarding these DT strategies within HE. To address these gaps, recommendations for future research are proposed, including (i) Exploration of strategic processes in HE toward DT, (ii) Empirical analysis of the Digital Maturity of HEIs, and (iii) Assessment of the impact of the strategic responses of HE toward DT. In conclusion, this study underscores the urgency for a more strategic approach to DT in HE, emphasizing the need to shift the focus from technology integration toward holistic, effective, and outcome-driven strategies. These recommendations aim to guide future research toward a more interdisciplinary and comprehensive understanding of DT within the realm of HE.

This study examines the role of Digital Transformation (DT) in enhancing Sustainable Innovation (SI) within higher education institutions in Egypt, emphasizing the mediating effect of Digital Organizational Culture (DOC). Grounded in the Resource-Based View and socio-technical systems theory, the research conceptualizes DT as a multidimensional process involving technological adoption, process redesign, and strategic realignment. DOC is positioned as a strategic intangible resource that shapes how digital capabilities are translated into sustainability-oriented innovation outcomes. A quantitative research approach was employed, with data collected from 400 academic and administrative staff across public and private universities through a structured questionnaire. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to test the hypothesized relationships. The results reveal that DT has a significant positive impact on DOC and SI, while DOC itself strongly influences SI. Furthermore, mediation analysis confirms that DOC partially mediates the relationship between DT and SI, indicating that DT’s impact is substantially enhanced when supported by a strong digital culture. These findings underscore the intertwined nature of technology and culture in driving innovation that aligns with environmental, social, and economic sustainability goals. The study contributes to existing literature by integrating DT, DOC, and SI into a single empirical framework and by contextualizing the relationships within a developing country’s higher education sector. Practical recommendations are provided for policymakers, educational leaders, and technology providers to integrate cultural transformation with digital strategies for long-term sustainability impact.

Background: Digital transformation refers to applying digital technology in various fields of society. In the last 5 years, digital transformation has spread to most areas of social life, including education. However, research on digital transformation in education is still fragmented. Objectives: The aim of the study was to present a comprehensive review of studies on digital transformation in education using bibliometric analysis. Methods: We searched the Scopus database from inception to 1 January 2023 using the search terms ‘digital transformation’ AND ‘education’ within abstracts, keywords, or titles of journal articles or conference papers written in English. The retrieved articles were analysed using VOSviewer and Biblioshiny tools. Results: A total of 1329 relevant studies were retrieved. Although the first paper in this field was published in 1999, the number of publications has increased rapidly only in the past 4 years. The most influential countries in this field are the developed countries (Russian Federation, Germany, and the United States), but scholars from the developing countries (Indonesia and Thailand) are among the most productive. Papers on digital transformation are frequently published in journals with lower rankings within the Scopus database. Using VOSviewer for keyword co-occurrence analysis, we classified the research topics related to digital transformation in educa-tion into four main groups: digital transformation in higher education under the impact of the coronavirus disease pandemic 2019 pandemic, applying the technolo-gies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution to education, digitization and digital compe-tence in education in the context of digital transformation, and learning forms using technology (for example, e-learning, m-learning, and blended learning) in higher-education institutions. Conclusions: Four research trends related to digital transformation in education were identified. These trends may also change as digital transformation continues to develop.

The outbreak and spread of COVID-19 have directly impacted public health systems and government finances, causing great losses to the economy. The effect of COVID-19 has been such that it is leading many corporations from various sectors to bankruptcy. Faced with this framework, universities must respond, adapt and make decisions to maintain them and overcome the crisis stage, that is, to become a resilient institution.Focusing on digitalization, recently it has become a fundamental and strategic activity for the performance of higher education institutions where universities have been forced to immerse themselves in innovative initiatives that allow them to promote their growth. In this way, the pandemic has led companies, and particularly higher education institutions, to reinvent themselves through digital transformation.Currently, universities have great opportunities at hand through digitalization. Recently, COVID-19 restrictions, regulations, and the capacity to release staff time for mandatory training were drivers for this project. In this regard, digitalization in higher education institutions is still a controversial issue within the academic community and poses some unique challenges for educational leaders and managers. The distinctive nature of higher education institutions results in a complex influence on the digital transformation in education. But evidence has shown that a crisis can act as either a catalyst of or an inhibitor to innovation in higher education institutions, and therefore the crisis context and resulting strategic responses create important and interesting questions for educational scholars. Even though its importance, there are few studies that focus on the effect of COVID-19 in higher education institutions.This study contributes to the growing literature on how higher education institutions innovate in times of the unique crisis produced by COVID-19 analysing: 1) the leader and manager profile in higher education institutions, 2) the type, private or public character of the institutions, and 3) the pandemic impact. We shed light on the confusing and puzzle findings in the literature regarding the profile and personal status of leaders and managers in higher education institutions, together with evidence on the unequal impact on digitalization at universities. The authors conducted an exploratory research through interview method to 81 leaders and managers focusing on Latin American institutions from September 1 to October 30 at 2020 matching procedures to test the hypotheses. With the aim to measure the digital transformation in higher education in times of crisis in Latin America, the data collection was divided into two separate consultations: (1) leaders in higher education institutions, and (2) representatives across the institution (that is, comprehensive consultation) because they could facilitate information from as many different sectors as possible within institutions involved in activities related to digital transformation.For this, after reviewing the literature, we will present our theoretical framework and analysis of the hypotheses being tested in our study. We describe the variables used in our analysis in the data and variables section. Next, we present the empirical method used and the results. Finally, in the Discussion section we discuss the main findings and their implications. Also, in the Conclusion section, we summary the main ideas of our paper.
