    Area of Science:

    • Healthcare Management
    • Health Informatics
    • Information Systems

    Background:

    • The healthcare industry is increasingly shifting towards a patient-centric model.
    • Existing information systems often lack integration, hindering effective data sharing.
    • Understanding the complex network of stakeholders is crucial for system design.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To advocate for a customer-centered approach in healthcare services and information systems.
    • To identify all key 'customers' within the healthcare ecosystem.
    • To highlight the necessity of data integration among these stakeholders.

    Main Methods:

    • Conceptual analysis of healthcare industry trends.
    • Examination of stakeholder relationships in patient care.
    • Argumentation for system integration based on customer needs.

    Main Results:

    • Patients are primary customers, but physicians, employers, and insurers are also critical information consumers.
    • Interdependencies among these customer groups require seamless information flow.
    • Current systems often fail to meet the integrated information needs of all stakeholders.

    Conclusions:

    • Healthcare information systems must be designed with a multi-customer focus.
    • Integration of patient-related data is essential for all healthcare stakeholders.
    • Adopting a customer-centered, integrated approach will enhance healthcare service delivery.
