Modeling Healthcare Managerial And IT Sophistication
Gary Hackbarth & Teuta Cata
What the paper says
Sophisticated healthcare managers understand that managing information and selecting technology are two related but separate skill sets. Information Technology Governance (ITG) allows healthcare organizations to deal with complex issues, compete effectively, and support patient needs by integrating managerial and IT sophistication to improve business performance. An organizational model that merges IT and managerial sophistication by improving ITG to forecast business outcomes must grasp the intricacies of technology to acquire, manage, and utilize information technology in alignment with business strategies. The proposed model differentiates between internal and external IT management strategic thinking, emphasizing the critical need to govern IT effectively by having a deeper understanding of IT to better engage internal and external stakeholders through suitable structures, processes, and relational mechanisms.
