    Healthcare organizations often purchase technology inconsistently, hindering data sharing. Establishing institutional standards for compatible microcomputers and software ensures interoperability and meets user needs.

    Area of Science:

    • Health Informatics
    • Computer Science
    • Information Systems

    Background:

    • Healthcare organizations frequently acquire microcomputers and software independently.
    • This fragmented procurement leads to incompatible systems, preventing data sharing between devices, networks, and central systems.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the importance of establishing institutional standards for microcomputer hardware and software.
    • To ensure seamless information exchange and interoperability within healthcare organizations.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of common procurement practices in healthcare organizations.
    • Identification of challenges posed by non-standardized technology acquisition.
    • Proposal of a standardization strategy for information technology assets.
