Industries around the world have embraced information technology (IT), successfully integrating it into their business models as a powerful way to foster growth, enhance interconnectivity, and bolster the bottom line. Leaders in these industries - from transportation to finance, communications to defense - consider IT integral and inseparable from their daily business operations. They recognize that there is no greater impediment to innovation and success than falling behind the IT curve.
Unfortunately, the health care industry has fallen behind that curve. While the industry has been an innovative leader in clinical technology, it has failed to fully integrate IT into business operations. The result? The industry now faces an unprecedented crisis complete with economic pressures, performance issues, legislative directives, and critical risks.
Fortunately, there's a solution. The IT management lessons learned in other industries can help the health care industry reinvent itself and establish smart IT governance in the health care setting. It can be done, and the time to begin is now.
