  • Title: Managing technology in a complex healthcare delivery system.
    Author: Harris CM, Burns J, Gregorich T, Kall G, Piar PM, Miller HD, Schaffer JL.
    Journal: J Healthc Inf Manag; 2003; 17(2):37-41. PubMed ID: 12698911.
    Abstract:
    Although clinical management is generally best handled regionally in a large system, e-health is the exception. E-health is managed centrally and not regionally because the patient access is not regional--it is virtual. Also, when patient demand, not business rationalization pressure, is the driver for change, it makes business sense to modify the management form from a regional to a centralized function.
