High quality information technology (IT) support is an integral factor in the success of today's health sector. However, the medical profession is considered to be low level investors in IT when compared to other sectors. Many international comparisons look at the expenditure spent on health IT as a basis for determining how effective the systems are. This prescriptive mainly cost/benefit approach is believed to be deficient as a sole factor in evaluation procedures. The research in this study supports the notion that more systematic attention needs to be taken into evaluating the success of an IT system. A perspective noted through a process based assessment for information systems effectiveness assessment (PB-ISAM) is therefore proposed. The method was developed and subsequently evaluated through three case organizations in the medical sector. Specific implications are drawn concerning the applicability of PB-ISAM, conclusions are drawn from the insights gained and suggestions for further research reported.

Assessing hospital information systems processes: a validation of prise information systems success model in healthcare Ozkan, Sevgi; Baykal, Nazife; Sincan, Murat (null; 2008-12-01) Although there is limited research and evidence base, it is reasonable to expect that high quality information technology is an integral factor in the success of today’s health care sector. However, the health care sector is considered to be low level investor in Information Technology (IT) when compared to other sectors. There are studies that look at the sums spent on health IT as a basis for determining how effective the IT systems are. We support the idea that the effectiveness of IT systems, is not an ...
Artemis message exchange framework: Semantic interoperability of exchanged messages in the healthcare domain Bicer, V; Laleci, GB; Doğaç, Asuman; Kabak, Y (Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2005-09-01) One of the most challenging problems in the healthcare domain is providing interoperability among healthcare information systems. In order to address this problem, we propose the semantic mediation of exchanged messages. Given that most of the messages exchanged in the healthcare domain are in EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) or XML format, we describe how to transform these messages into OWL (Web Ontology Language) ontology instances. The OWL message instances are then mediated through an ontology mapping...
Evaluation and selection of case tools: a methodology and a case study Okşar, Koray; Okşar, Koray; Department of Information Systems (2010) Today’s Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE) technology covers nearly all activities in software development ranging from requirement analysis to deployment.Organizations are evaluating CASE tool solutions to automate or ease their processes. While reducing human errors, these tools also increase control, visibility and auditability of the processes. However, to achieve these benefits, the right tool or tools should be selected for usage in the intended processes. This is not an easy task when the vas...
Plural: A decentralized business process modeling method Turetken, Oktay; Demirörs, Onur (Elsevier BV, 2011-08-01) Top-down and centralized approaches prevail in the design and improvement of business processes. However, centralized structures pose difficulties for organizations in adapting to a rapidly changing business environment. Here we present the Plural method which can be used to guide organizations in performing process modeling in a decentralized way. Instead of a centralized group of people understanding, modeling and improving processes, our method allows individuals to model and improve their own processes ...
Assessing Information Technology Use in Organizations: Developing a Framework Sezgin, Emre; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi (2011-10-07) Increasing use of current and developing information technologies (IT) within business and production processes is a required transformation to survive in the market. However. IT should be well-managed to be adapted by an organization as a whole. This study proposes a new model for the assessment of IT use in organizations. The aim is to assist decision making processes in information technology management through exploring strength and weaknesses of organization on IT tools and applications. The model has ...
