QOM UNIVERSITY OF MEDICAL SCIENCES

Office of Statistics, Information Technology and Communications

Introduction:

This office is currently active as a subdivision for Office of Statistics, Information Technology and Communications. Statistics and information have always been the center of attention for managers.

Statistics and information are preferred to other methods of data collecting since there could be no partiality in statistics and it represents facts not people through numbers and charts.

It is an undeniable fact that wrong statistic analysis may result in making inappropriate decisions but it is also true that a manager can guarantee his decision making and stop errors by using statistics and information in a right way.

Currently, the main problem in the Office of Statistics lies within the mass data being unused. It is a management principle that available data and information inside an organization are its memory whose loss causes the instability of the organization.
