Competiveness and Performance Effectiveness

for Health Care IT Systems

According to Wager, Lee and Glaser (2013) it is important that any management team assess effectiveness and competiveness of IT systems. IT alone cannot provide a competitive advantage, but it can provide an advantage if it is used to improve processes. Therefore, it is important that organizations access processes from strategic development to service levels and use technology to sustain the organization. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the responsibilities and characteristics of the Chief Information and Chief Technology Officer. The paper will further discuss technologies health care systems can use to improve health care processes; ways to prevent misuse of information and protect data privacy; strategies for health care organizations to train providers using technology; and best practices for effective IT alignment and strategic planning initiatives.

Responsibilities and Characteristics

According to Wager et al (2013) within the healthcare system there are two important senior leadership roles, the Chief Information Officer and the Chief Technology Officer. The responsibilities and characteristics of these important roles are significant for each. (See Chapter 12 and Define the fundamental responsibilities and key characteristics of the Chief Information Officer (CIO) and Chief Technology Officer (CTO) within health care organizations. Make one (1) recommendation where they can utilize their expertise to assist with employee and patient satisfaction. Support your response with related examples of such expertise in use)

Developing Technologies that Health Care Systems Use

Wager et al. (2013) stated healthcare processes require technology, meaning that healthcare information systems and processes are closely related. Wager further states that organizations define processes and use data to develop plans to improve the organization’s performance, reduce cost or improve services. (SEE Chapter 13 and Chapter 15 suggest two (2) developing technologies that health care systems should use in order to improve health care processes and thus increase the quality and lower the cost of health services. Provide a rationale to support your response. Provide a citation to give credit to the author of the information and remember to incorporate in another reference to support your information. ).

Significant Methods Used to Prevent Misuse of Information

Wager et al. (2013) states there are several methods to ensure that information is not misused and that patient privacy is upheld. (Chapter 10, Chapter 11 - State two (2) significant methods that health care systems should use in order to prevent misuse of information and protect data privacy and thus achieve a high level of security of health information. Provide a rationale to support your response. Provide a citation to give credit to the author of the information and remember to incorporate in another reference to support your information.)

Strategy for Healthcare Organizations to Train Providers

According to Wager et al. (2013) training healthcare providers are very important. (See Chapter 14 and 15 - Please suggest one (1) strategy for health care organizations to train providers in using technology in health care. Provide a rationale to support your response. Provide a citation to give credit to the author of the information and remember to incorporate in another reference to support your information.

Best Practices in Effective IT Alignment

According to Wager et al. (2013) developing sound IT alignment is very important in ensuring that health IT organizational resources are not misdirected. (See Chapter 13 and provide three (3) best practices for effective IT alignment and strategic planning initiatives. Justify your response. Provide a citation to give credit to the author of the information and remember to incorporate in another reference to support your information. )
