There is little doubt that information technology is a major force
in transforming healthcare systems: physicians need to have
considerable patient data at hand, even if diagnosis and treatment
are relatively straightforward. But data are only as useful as
ICT-information communication technology-systems make them.
Inefficient handling of data can quickly lead to chaos, and
possibly to fatalities. Strategic ICT Planning in Pathology
illuminates these problems, as well as their potential solutions,
based on a unique body of research from Australia. Focusing on core
strategic factors such as laboratory information systems capability
and effectiveness, business-IT alignment, strategic spending,
research and education, and end-user involvement, the book explains
why pathology labs lag behind other hospital departments. Survey
and focus group findings pinpoint the importance of Strategic
Information System Planning (SISP), and its relationship to quality
service delivery and an improved bottom line [ok?]. Among the
topics covered: Approaches to SISP and IS effectiveness
measurement. The OpenLabs project and pathology practice.
Development of a framework for SISP. Focus groups: the view from
the hospital laboratory, the private pathology lab, and the
experts. Key findings and their implications for strategy,
planning, and business outcomes. Future research directions,
including reverse SISP. Strategic ICT Planning in Pathology is a
go-to resource for healthcare administrators and researchers in
healthcare management, health policy, and health services research
interested in troubleshooting systems, conducting surveys on IS, or
better understanding how quality ICT works.
