Designing a model of management and control using sustainable information technology: infectious diseases

In general, information technology has a sustainable nature, and in line with preserving the environment, it can advance programs that protect the interests of future generations. On the other hand, the presence of acute viral diseases in different periods has caused many human and financial losses in the world. Sustainable information technology can have a great impact on the management and control of acute viral diseases, which human power alone seems to be insufficient. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to design a management and control model using sustainable information technology for acute viral diseases. In the current research, it is an applied research that developed a conceptual and process model by using the qualitative method of theme analysis and the formation of a panel of experts. The data collection tool is an unstructured questionnaire for interviewing experts who include the medical community, university faculty members, and knowledge-based managers. Sampling continued using the targeted method until reaching theoretical saturation with the number of 26 interviews. The results presented a model with four sub-themes including: sustainable value (social, economic, environmental), management and control of viral diseases (planning, organization, control and monitoring), information management (data collection, information dissemination, reporting and data analysis). ) and finally led to sustainable information technology factors (sustainable performance, attitude, technology, policy and implementation). In the process model, the main components of the algorithmic model include identifying, designing, organizing and storing information. Therefore, it can be said that by using the management and control model implementation during
