Background:

  • Healthcare organizations frequently merge to enhance operational efficiencies.
  • Information systems (IS) are often targeted for cost reduction during mergers.
  • Common strategies include staff reduction, data center consolidation, and system standardization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify common pitfalls in information systems (IS) integration during healthcare mergers.
  • To provide guidance on avoiding these pitfalls to reduce IS costs.
  • To support successful IS consolidation for improved operational efficiency.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of common IS integration strategies in healthcare mergers.
  • Identification of potential challenges and risks associated with IS consolidation.
