What's New?I taught two courses on healthcare IT at NYU this Fall. Many of the readings are available on-line. Download the syllabi> Health Information Technology: Public Policy and Management Health Information Technology for Managers My latest book, IT Governance in Hospitals and Health Systems, will be published in February by HIMSS (Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society).
IT Governance in Hospitals and Health Systems describes how to create an Information Technology (IT) governance process that increases the number of IT projects that support the strategy of a hospital or health system and are completed on-time and on- budget. It defines and describes IT governance as it is currently practiced in leading healthcare organizations. Without a governance structure, IT at many hospitals and healthcare systems is a haphazard endeavor that typically results in late, over budget projects and ultimately many disparate systems that don't function well together. IT Governance in Hospitals and Health Systems defines IT governance and why it is important. It describes the components of IT governance and the keys to a successful governance process. Roles, responsibilities and committee structure are defined. Process and work flows that lead to successful governance are described. The relationship of IT governance to project and portfolio management is explained. While examples from hospitals and health systems will appear throughout the book, the final section contains several detailed case studies of effective IT governance.
