One of the most influential bodies developing operating rules for DSS is the Social Services Commission, which is a statutorily-based body. Two federal departments oversee the major social services programs, the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the US Department of Agriculture.
2 days ago · CORE emerged to develop operating rules, or business rules, to address these challenges. In 2009, the Affordable Care Act recognized the concept of operating rules, defining them as “the necessary business rules and guidelines for electronic exchange of information that are not defined by a standard or its implementation specifications.”

In the Decision Support Systems (DSS) literature, experts prescribe a variety of approaches or methodologies for designing and developing DSS. Everyone does not, however, agree on what methodology works best for building different types of DSS. If managers and DSS analysts understand the various methods, they can make more informed and better cho...
How does one plan and implement a new DSS? What does it mean to design a DSS? How does one develop a DSS? Who develops a new DSS? When should a company build a DSS and when should a company buy a DSS package? Both managers and Management Information Systems (MIS) professionals need to explore these questions. A company does not receive any adv...
Increasing decision-making effectiveness through changes in how decisions are made should be the major objective for any DSS project (cf., Stabell 1983). Stabell proposes a decision-oriented design approach for DSS. He argues that predesign description and diagnosis of decision making is the key to securing a decision-oriented approach to DSS deve...
Diagnosis of decision making should be followed by additional initiation and diagnostic activities and preparation of a feasibility study of the technical and economic prospects related to developing a DSS. This study should occur prior to actually committing resources to developing a proposed DSS. What should be included in a DSS feasibility stu...

Table 4.2 DSS Feasibility Study Outline. After completing a feasibility study, a decision is often made between purchasing an application package and in-house development. In general, packaged DSS applications are quite versatile and are usually less expensive to implement than in-house development. Packaged solutions are also often faster to imp...
The systems development life cycle (SDLC) approach is based on a series of formal steps, including these seven steps: Confirm user requirements; Systems analysis; System design; Programming; Testing; Implementation; and Use and Evaluation. Although different versions of SDLC vary in the precise number of steps and in the detailed definitions of...
All of the different versions of rapid prototyping accommodate and even encourage changes in the requirements of a proposed Decision Support System. A typical prototyping methodology usually includes five steps: Identify user requirements. Develop and test a first iteration DSS prototype. Create the next iteration DSS prototype. Test the DSS prot...
End-user development of DSS puts the responsibility for building and maintaining a DSS on the manager who builds it. Powerful end-user software is available to managers, and many managers have the ability—and feel the need—to develop their own desktop DSS. Managers frequently use spreadsheets, like Microsoft Excel and Lotus 1-2-3, as DSS developmen...
Moving from an informal exploration of a suggestion or desire for a DSS to formal project is an important step. An executive sponsor should push to have project manager assigned to the project. The initial tasks of the project manager include diagnosis, a feasibility study, and a definition of the objectives and scope of the proposed project. Onc...
Outsourcing involves contracting with outside consultants, software houses, or service bureaus to perform systems analysis, programming, or other DSS development activities. The outsourcer should be evaluated as a long-term asset and as a source of ongoing value to the company. Time and resources need to be dedicated to managing the relationship ...
In 1985 Jack Hogue and Hugh Watson surveyed managers in organizations with DSS. Each participant was an active DSS user. Two-thirds of the organizations had built their DSS using an evolutionary, prototyping approach and the remaining organizations had used more of an SDLC approach. It appeared that if the DSS supported managers throughout the comp...
Aug 10, 2021 · Models are key components of model-based DSS, but developing a model is only one step in the development of a DSS and bringing it to the user. This process should mind the users, their needs, and requirements of the considered decision process. Having this in mind, we formulated five requirements for models to be used in DSSs.

A decision support system (DSS) is an information system that supports business or organizational decision-making activities. DSSs serve the management, operations and planning levels of an organization (usually mid and higher management) and help people make decisions about problems that may be rapidly changing and not easily specified in advance—i.e., unstructured and semi-structured ...
Oct 20, 2008 · Before building a DSS, a designer must consider application areas, functionality, technical complexity, structural development, stakeholder involvement in both development and use, and approaches to hardware and software implementation. Further consideration must be given to the level at which the DSS should function.
