Strategic ICT Planning in Pathology


This book is concerned with the assessment of medical pathology laboratory in- formation systems effectiveness, and in what way information system effectiveness impacts on the medical pathology business. To achieve this goal we discuss a study that focused on determining the level of Strategic Information Systems Planning (SISP) and by what means information system effectiveness is measured, in private and public hospital pathology laboratories in Australia. Overthepast20yearsmedicalprofessionalshaveincreasinglybecomedependent on the expanding range of sophisticated diagnostic services provided by clinical laboratories (van Merode et al. 1996; Boran et al. 1996; O’Moore et al. 1994; Bossuyt et al. 2007; Friedberg 2008). Automated analytical instruments generate an ever-increasing variety and volume of test information at ever-increasing speeds. In terms of healthcare, this development has been a significant benefit—helping physicians to diagnose and treat illnesses accurately and quickly and to monitor recovery closely (Bender and McNair 1996; Bossuyt et al. 2007).
