Module Objectives

Let’s revisit what we have learned so far in the Data-Driven Understanding of Local Reentry module. Please answer the following questions.

1. A well-designed management information system

Requires you to enter the same data more than once.

Allows you to produce easy-to-read reports.

Is incompatible with other data systems.

2. Firewalls pose a serious risk to the confidential handling of data.

True

False


Summary

In this section you learned that a management information system is a computer system that enables you to systematically record data. Such systems minimize the need to record the same data multiple times, increase the accuracy of data, and facilitate meaningful data analysis. However, a management information system is only as good as the accurate data reports it generates.
