Strategic information management for a Dutch university hospital

Stud Health Technol Inform. 2000:77:885-9.

Abstract

Strategic Information management in hospitals gives directives for the development of the hospital's information system. This paper discusses the specific situation of strategic information management for a university hospital that is subject to the Dutch healthcare environment. Central issues for the discussion are the involved internal and external stakeholders that have some direct or indirect interest with respect to information management in the hospital. The complexity and heterogeneity of the hospital requires the development of multiple strategic plans that reflect the specific requirements of the different stakeholders.
