Graduate Management Project (GMP). Developing a Health Information Plan for Bayne-Jones Army Community Hospital

摘要

The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO)requires that hospitals effectively manage information as a resource. In 1995, Bayne-Jones Army Community Hospital, Fort Polk, Louisiana underwent tremendous changes in its information systems. This project achieved three objectives: (1) it developed a format for a Health Information Plan based on JCAHO standards, a review of the literature and the needs of the staff, (2) it created a process to assess the information needs of the staff and (3) it created a document to be used by the hospital's Information Management Team as the Health Information Plan.
