W H AT I S I C T ?

Definition:

ICT covers any product that will store, retrieve, manipulate, transmit or receive informationelectronically in a digital form. For example, personal computers, digital television, email,robots.

So ICT is concerned with the storage, retrieval, manipulation, transmission or receipt of digitaldata. Importantly, it is also concerned with the way these different uses can work with eachother.

ICT is an acronym that stands for Information Communications Technology

However, apart from explaining an acronym, there is not a universally accepted definition of ICT. Why? Because the concepts, methods and applications involved in ICT are constantlyevolving on an almost daily basis. Its difficult to keep up with the changes - they happen so fast.Lets focus on the three words behind ICT:

- INFORMATION- COMMUNICATIONS- TECHNOLOGY

A good way to think about ICT is to consider all the uses of digital technology that already existto help individuals, businesses and organizations use information.

Two broad types of product of ICT:

1 . The Traditional Computer-based Technologies: Things you can typically do on a personal computer or using computers at home or at work); and

2. D igital Communication Technologies: The more recent, and fast-growing range which

allow people and organizations to communicate and share information digitally

Let's take a brief look at these two categories to demonstrate the kinds of products and ideas thatare covered by ICT:

2 . Specialist Applications:

ICT IN A BROADER CONTEXT

Beside application like spreadsheets, word etc, ICT will also consider the following importanttopics that deal with the way ICT is used and managed in an organization:

The nature of information: (the "I" in ICT); this covers topics such as the meaning andvalue of information; how information is controlled; the limitations of ICT; legal

considerations Management of information: This covers how data is captured, verified and stored for effective use; the manipulation, processing and distribution of information; keepinginformation secure; designing networks to share information

Information systems strategy: This considers how ICT can be used within a business or organization as part of achieving goals and objective.

Application EXAMPLE

Accounting package

M anage an organizations accounts including revenues/sales, purchases, bank account

A wide range of systems is available ranging from basic packages suitable for small

businesses through to sophisticated ones aimed at multinational companies.

Computer Aided D esign

Computer Aided D esign (CA D ) is the use of computers to assist the design process.

Specialized CA D programs exist for many types of design: architectural, engineering,

electronics, roadways

Customer Relations

M anagement (CR M )

Software that allows businesses to better understand their customers by collecting and

Analyzing data on them such as their product preferences, buying habits etc. Often

Linked to software applications that run call centers and loyalty cards for example.

DIGITAL COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES

Diigital Communication Technologies:

The C part of ICT refers to the communication of data by electronic means, usually over somedistance. This is often achieved via networks of sending and receiving equipment, wires andsatellite links.

The technologies involved in communication tend to be complex. You certainly don't need tounderstand them for your ICT course. However, there are aspects of digital communications thatyou needs to be aware of. These relate primarily to the types of network and the ways of connecting to the Internet. Let's look at these two briefly (further revision notes provide muchmore detail to support your study).

Internal Networks:

U sually referred to as a local area network (LAN) , this involves linking a number of hardwareitems (input and output devices plus computer processing) together within an office or building.

The aim of a LAN is to be able to share hardware facilities such as printers or scanners,software applications and data. This type of network is invaluable in the office environmentwhere colleagues need to have access to common data or programs.

External Networks:

Often you need to communicate with someone outside your internal network, in this case youwill need to be part of a W ide Area Network ( W AN ). The Internet is the ultimate WAN - it is avast network of networks.

THE POTENTIAL USES OF ICT

ICT applications are useful in numerous instances to facilitate the developments of variousaspects of the society.

ICT In Improving The Quality of Life

Health:

ICT applications are becoming valuable resources inthe medical field. They support efficient exchange of information between health professionals, they enabletransfer of patient records between sites and they canimprove clinical effectiveness, continuity, and qualityof care by health professionals ( M ansell and Wehn1998 ). ICT applications facilitate telemedicine - " theuse of ICTs to provide medical demand independent of person-to-person contact " (ibid: 85 ). Telemedicine

provides medical service to people in geographicallydiverse settings: at home and in isolated places or inemergencies. An example of the impact of ICTs onmedicine is the recent operation that was performed at the Chris Hani Baragwaneth Hospital.Separated by 8 917 km, two surgeons made South African medical history when they jointly

performed an operation on a two-year-old. D r Bob Banieghbal at Chris Hani BaragwanethHospital in Soweto and Professor Benno U re at his offices in Hannover, Germany, made use of the latest advancement in surgery - the tele-mentoring system, 'Socrates' - to perform alaparoscopic surgery (Green, 2003). 'Socrates' works by linking surgeons in the operating roomwith colleagues anywhere in the world. A voice-controlled robotic arm (Aesop) positions andholds an endoscope (a minute camera used to view internal organs) which is inserted into the

patient via the navel (ibid.)

Special Needs (for the Physically Challenged):

For many people with physical disabilities, ICTs can be extremely useful in providing access tocommunication, education and open up opportunities for them. The use of Braille keyboards and

printers can help alleviate some common literacy and numeracy problems for visually impairedor blind people. M ost telecommunications infrastructures are now being designed with thecapabilities of meeting the special needs of the physically challenged. For instance, the ShortM essage Service (S M S) can be used to send and receive messaged by the hearing impaired, thevoice activated dialing service can be used by visually impaired.

Education:

The education sector is arguably one major area that ICTs are playing remarkable role. Thesetechnologies help in facilitating learn ship and exchange of educational materials. ICTs arehelping library professionals store and manage academic information. Libraries have migrated

from the traditional D ewey cataloguing system to an on-line system, which is a web-basedcataloguing and search application. The online learning system is another web-based applicationthat is revolutionalising the learning platform of education. This system compliments thetraditional face-to face teaching and learning format. In the on-line system, students can accessclass notes, submit assignment and also join a discussion group with other learners.

Environment:

ICT applications can help in collecting data about environmental issues. They allow access toinformation and provide support system to manage and monitor environmental issues. For example, the Geographical Information focuses on the collection, storage, analysis, display andapplication of geographic data ( M ansell and When 1998 ). The Geographic Information System (GIS) is one of the Geographic Information Technology applications. The GIS can be regardedas an advanced equivalent of a traditional map from which a wide array of information can beextracted for specific purposes. The GIS is an automated system that enables the capture,storage, checking, integration, manipulation, analysis, display, and modeling of complex spatialdata (ibid.). The GIS can be useful in the integration of information on climate, soils, and terrainsfrom different sources.

Agriculture:

At the micro level, ICTs applications can be used to impart information directly to farmers andthe farming community. There are expert system designed to handle agricultural issues such aswater utilization and management, pest control, harvest management and so forth.

Sharing Knowledge and Improving Access to Information:

This has been one of the most recognized uses of the ICTs. Various communicationtechnologies, ranging from broadcasting to telecommunications and to the Internet are playingeffective roles in the acquisition and sharing of information. The concepts of the 'informationrevolution' and 'information society' are driven by enormous advancements in ICTs and their application. The Internet for example, has provided platforms for sharing information inapplications such as the E- M ail and The World Wide Web.

ICT Is Facilitating In Business Sector

Manufacturing:

ICTs applications are linking the process chains in manufacturing as opposed to improving or facilitating single steps in the production lines. The old 'Fordist' or mass production of goods andservices is gradually giving way to a network-based production and manufacturing system. Therehas been a shift from the old production system to a new mode which is facilitated byinformation and communication technology. While the old production and manufacturing systemis energy-intensive, standardized and departmentalized the new manufacturing system facilitated

by ICTs is information-intensive, customized, networked and integrated. Furthermore, the designstage of product manufacturing benefits enormously from the use of ICTs. For instance, the useof Computer-aided-design (CA D ) has improved the design stages of machine tools.

Electronic Commerce:

Electronic commerce or e-commerce is the use of telecommunications or the Internet to carry out business of any type. Common examples of e-commerce are business-to-business e-commerce,online shopping, online banking, online stock trading etc. One of the advantages of e-commerceis the reduction of transaction costs. Electronic transaction of business activities has 'redefined'the concepts of 'market', 'seller' and 'buyers', as they all converge now on the electronic space.Billions of dollars worth of transactions are completed on the Internet. This development haswarranted national government involvement in regulating e-commerce activities.

Travel and Tourism: The travel and tourism industry has been heavily affected by ICT applications. The Internet, in

particular, has been useful in many regards to the travel and tourism sector. It is used to providemultimedia information about destination to prospective travelers. It also affects auxiliaryindustries, such as the transport sector, which plays a major role in the tourism industry. With theaid of ICT applications, prospective travelers can view a destination, book accommodation, book the flight and other forms of transport and pay for all these without leaving their homes. The useof ICTs has permeated the travel and tourism industry. ICTs in this industry consist of variouscomponents that include computerized reservation systems, teleconferencing, video, video

brochures, management information systems, airline electronic information systems, electronic

funds transfer, digital telephone networks, smart cards, mobile communication, e-mail, andInternet ( M ansell& When, 1998 ). These various communication technologies are being used inall sectors travel and tourism industry and related sectors

ICT Is Facilitating In Public And Private Sector

Public Administration:

Public administration is a key aspect of civil society and it includes a range of services to citizensand industry. It provides various functions that enhance the social, economic and politicaldevelopments of the citizenry. M ost importantly, it provides public information that is useful tothe community at large.E-Government, a concept that defines a situation where governmentactivities and public information can be made available uses ICTs. The South African M inister of Communication notes that:

The Public Information Terminal, or PIT, entails the installation of Internet kiosks in post officesaround the country. The kiosks will provide instant access to the Internet, e-mail, government and educational services as well as e-commerce. The link to government websites, for example,will provide information on aspects of regulation, legislation, welfare, support, grants and rebates. Interactive directories of various tertiary institutions will also be available (M atsepe-Casaburri, 2000).

Urban and Rural Development:

ICT applications are useful in facilitating development programs in many countries. Thesetechnologies help in supporting economic and social developments. M ansell&Wehn ( 1998 : 8 3)note that " diverse current and historical data sets on health, education, water supplies,

sanitation, and population growth and movement can be captured, collated, manipulated, and presented " The establishment of telecasters in rural communities can facilitate economicempowerment..

Transport:

In the transport sector, ICT applications can be used toimprove road, air and rail transportation. The developmentof smart cards helps facilitate the smooth operations of thetransport system. These operations include payment for

parking meters, identification of authorized parking spaceoccupants. In Africa the smart card system is not widelyused, however, in South Africa the smart cards used toease the hassles of boarding public transportation. For example, the SABTA (South Africa Black TaxiAssociation) trial application in Bloemfontein was toaddress the growing demand for prepayment services. M inibus taxis are the preferred mode of transport between the townships and places of work in South Africa. These taxis are licensed tocarry up to 14 passengers. The Taxi proprietors were pleased with the tighter controls the systemoffers and more especially that it reduced the risk of loss cash in the system (Townsend, 1996 ).Currently, some Taxi operators are using the smart card system.

TAJIKISTAN HOSPITAL USING ICT IN DAILY TASKS

Nine medical personnel of the Central Hospital in Garm, Tajikistan , (CHG) reported a host of improvements in professionalism and efficiency in their work, their hospital, and the medicalcollege where they pass along their skills. They attributed these enhancements to ICT skillstraining they completed at the Garm IATP center in M arch 200 9 .

The doctors were recruited by IATP Garm Administrator RavshanSirojev. On February 17 ,Sirojev conducted the IATP outreach presentation on ICT for medical personnel at CHG,showing its doctors the many ways they could benefit from ICT training.

D octor of Family M edicine M irzoevSobirjon found that ICT improved his productivity. Hefound it amazing that through the internet we can find modern medical treatment

recommendations for various diseases. U ntilnow, he continued, I submitted my reports toD ushanbe by post or though my friends, butnow I can send them through e-mail.

CHG Surgeon Zoirov D ehoti also teachesanatomy at the local M edical College, anendeavor complicated by his and his students

previous lack of access to current informationon medical topics. ICT training helped D ehotiaccess new resource tools. He noted throughthe internet I found www.anatomy.tj andwww.e-anatomy.ru sites that containimportant information for students. M y

colleagues and I decided to translate somematerials to our national language, developsome modules and brochures, and providethem for our students.

Ophthalmologist NosirovFayzali used theinternet to find a laser microscope used for eye examinations. We plan to order such

equipment from M oscow. Just a few years ago, finding such a device would require travelingabroad and spending much time physically looking for it. Thanks to IATP training, CHGsmedical staff is using ICT skills to improve their hospital, make their work more efficient, andacquire better equipment for patient care.

ABOUT PIMS

Since Its opening In 1985 , P.I. M .S. has been expanding Its services and equipment to meet thegrowing healthcare needs of the human community.

Objectives of P.I. M .S. are to provide a tertiary level patient care and serve as referral hospitalalso to conduct teaching/ training of doctors and other health workers at various level in the fieldof medicine and surgery.

The establishment of the Pakistan Institute of M edical Sciences (P.I. M .S) in Islamabad heralds a bright new era for the citizens of Pakistan, especially the residents of the Federal Capital.

The plan, conceived in the sixties( 196 0s), has finally been implemented. Initially named as the

Islamabad Hospital Complex ( IHC ), the original site was located within the premises of the National Institute of Health but was shifted in favor of the present site due to its central position.In 1975 , the Capital D evelopment Authority (C D A) outlined a plan for the construction of aninpatients block. Pakistani engineers prepared a master plan by 1978 , envisaging ample room for future alteration and expansion.

Apart from providing medical facilities to the resident of Rawalpindi-Islamabad and surroundingareas, the PI M S will function as a National Reference Centre for providing specializeddiagnostic and curative services to the patients referred by other hospitals/institution.

When fully functional the Pakistan Institute of medical Sciences will be a centre of excellence

and a model of medical education and research.
