EXECUTIVE LEADERS

Selecting the most appropriate clinical IT solutions is one of the most important decisions a healthcare organization will make. Executives and hospital boards must balance the interests and concerns of multiple constituencies including the clinicians who will use the applications, the IT staff who will implement and maintain them and the community that expects only the highest level of care.

In addition to meeting the needs of these groups, the financial implications also weigh heavily on the shoulders of those making this critical decision. The costs are enormous and few healthcare organizations can afford to make a wrong decision. A complete clinical IT investment can consume more than 5 years of typical capital spending and increase operating expenses beyond sustainable levels. Indeed, a clinical IT investment will impact the financial operation of most healthcare organizations for a decade or more.

As with any significant decision in every business, not just healthcare, careful consideration must be given to gain a full understanding of the costs and potential benefits of an investment.
