A hospital’s strategic plan should be supported by information technology

A hospital’s strategic plan should be supported by information technology. Explain how information technology can support the strategic plan, vision, and goals of a healthcare organization. XYZ Hospital just learned that its current EHR is being sunsetted and will no longer be supported by the IS vendor starting in two years. In the hospital’s rush to select an IS, it decided to take some shortcuts. These shortcuts included:

Creating a committee of only three people to select the system

Not going on a site visit

Not performing systems analysis

Deferring planning until after the contract is signed
