How to face Organizational Issues: Structuring Information Management in Hospitals

摘要

Information management has to be a driving force in hospitals instead of being a reacting instrument. It needs not only proper management of projects but also an active preparation of circumstances that enable successful projects as well as successful operation of the hospital information system afterwards. So we can differentiate information management in hospitals into tactical, strategic, and operational information management. Since human beings are mayor success factors of hospitals and their information systems, we will define hospital information systems as sociotechnical (sub-) systems of their respective hospitals.
