Growth and change through information management

As health care executives create and mold visions for the future of their institutions, they are discovering that one critical factor is that the vast potential power of information technology be skillfully implemented and managed. Past methods of managing what was at one time called data processing will no longer serve well in this new era. At The Methodist Hospital, innovative management methods have allowed us to bridge the gap from the information systems and management methods of the past. An excellent set of new management techniques has been used to engage project teams in the management of change. Information systems projects have been used successfully as catalysts for dramatic institutional growth and constructive change.
