How to ensure IT projects in hospitals and health systems are on time and on budget
Without a governance structure, IT management at many hospitals and health systems is a haphazard process that typically results in late, over budget projects and, ultimately, fragmented systems. Aspen Advisors principal Guy Scalzi and Dr. Roger Kropf, a Professor in the Health Policy and Management Program at New York University's Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service, tackle the governance issue head on with their latest book: IT Governance in Hospitals and Health Systems, published by HIMSS. The book, the second co-authored by the two healthcare IT leaders, offers a practical 'how to' guide to creating an information technology governance structure that ensures that IT projects supporting a hospital's or health system's strategy are completed on time and on budget. Consulting sat down with the two authors to discuss the book and IT governance in healthcare.
