This book explores how healthcare organizations can use information technology to achieve better operational performance and strengthen their market position. It explains how to move beyond applying technology to current practices, and use the enabling power of IT to redesign work processes to achieve high levels of performance. Topics covered include: the structure of IT and how it can be used to manage clinical and business functions; how IT is used to position an organization in a competitive market; the management of information resources, including investing in IT, structure and staffing, and information security and ethics; and how IT may impact the health system of the future, including an assessment of current policy initiatives.
