    Area of Science:

    • Health Informatics
    • Information Systems Management
    • Healthcare Administration

    Background:

    • Healthcare information system (HIS) implementation is frequently hampered by ineffective, self-serving, or short-sighted actions from healthcare institutions, consultants, and vendors.
    • These recurring issues create a significant "purchasing boondoggle" within the healthcare sector.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To address the persistent problems in the healthcare information system procurement and installation process.
    • To propose a viable solution for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of HIS acquisitions.

    Main Methods:

    • The Center for Healthcare Information Management (CHIM) Business Conduct Committee facilitated in-depth discussions regarding the HIS purchasing challenges.
    • A panel of committee members and external experts analyzed the identified issues and deliberated on potential reforms.

    Main Results:

    • The discussions confirmed the recurring nature of problematic behaviors during HIS procurement.
    • The panel identified a critical need for systemic reform in how healthcare organizations approach IT purchasing.

    Conclusions:

    • The most effective and practical solution to mitigate the "purchasing boondoggle" is to foster better-educated buyers.
    • Enhancing buyer knowledge and preparedness is crucial for successful healthcare information system implementation and overall institutional performance.
