JSR Notes:

Note that the way this assessment statement is worded, you are most likely to get a specific situation on which you will comment. Following are two examples.

But the key point to consider is just how important data can be. Is some respects it doesn't seem that data should be that relatively important. In the medical situation, for example, surely real things like medicines, specialized equipment, and blood for transfusion are much more important than data stored on a computer - which is nothing more than a bunch of 0s and 1s... But upon further consideration, what is the use of any of those physical things if a doctor does not know how and when to apply them? Data, in fact, especially in this data-dependent world, can be the difference between - in the medical example - a proper diagnosis vs. a wrong diagnosis, or even life vs. death.

Consequences of data loss of medical records:

• Delayed medical attention
• Incorrect diagnosis
• Inability to accurately track the progress of a certain condition/disease
• Loss of time through required new tests and diagnosis
• Cross-diagnosis (data confusion)
• All of the above leading to, worse health condition or even
• Death

Plus associated, though not direct health consequences

• Inability to claim insurance
• Tying up resources to re-do tests
• In the case of private clinics, loss of patients as clients

 

Consequences of data loss of cancellation of a hotel reservation without the knowledge of the traveler:

For the customer:

• Loss of time with the traveler's attempt to seek new accommodation
• Increased costs to the traveler, vis-a-vis both transport and last minute new reservations
• Family strife for traveling families
• Loss of sleep due to late securing of accommodation
• Anger and stress
• In the worst case scenario not being able to find a place to sleep

For the hotel and reservation system:

• Loss of customers
• Reputation of the company is damaged
• Loss of money
• Possible loss of jobs as a result of loss of customers
• Possible legal action, with both time & effort, and financial implications
