Investment in information technology, by healthcare organizations is growing rapidly. These organizations view information technology as a critical contributor to their strategies and plans to integrate care, reduce costs and respond to a complex reimbursement environment. The development of thoughtful, focused and realistic IT strategies has become a primary management concern and focus. The aggregate capital projections for these systems often convey staggering numbers. The percentage of the organization's overall capital and operating budgets devoted to information systems appear to be increasing and is on its ways to being double current percentages. While organizational leadership understands that these numbers are becoming common, information systems and operating budget requests carry sticker shock and are often growing much faster than any other segment of the budget. The Strategic Application of Information Technology in Healthcare Organizations provides a thorough analysis and discussion of the form, scope and issues associated with the strategic application of information technology in healthcare organizations. The book is intended to improve the ability of the leadership of the healthcare orgnaizations to invest strategically and thoughtfully in information technology. It also focuses on strategies and strategic thinking in the planning and implementation of information technology for provider organizations.

John Glaser showed up on December 17, 2017 to see who Beto O'Rourke was and hear his message. He brought his camera that day to document what he saw, not knowing this was the beginning of a journey to chronicle the final 11 months of the O'Rourke U.S. Senate campaign throughout Houston, Texas and the surrounding areas. See the campaign as John saw it, through the lens of his camera, creating a visual interpretation of Beto's story.See Beto's historic senate campaign through John's eye as he photographed Beto's rise during his stops throughout the Texas Gulf Coast region. Feel the energy John captured from Beto's early campaign town halls attended by 50 to 100 people to when he met with a crowd of 60,000 during the Willie Nelson for Beto rally in Austin. Witness various stops and behind the scenes photos leading up to election day in Beto's hometown of El Paso.“When I first showed up to see Beto OʼRourke he had 63,500 followers on Twitter. Eleven months later on election day, he broke the 900,000 mark. And it’s all because he showed up, and left us all with a feeling that doesn’t go away—hope.” – John Glaser“Maybe because someone like John would find it interesting enough to be a part of this, to spend his days capturing these events and this campaign. Maybe because those who volunteered with us would give up their lives for an hour, a day, a year to connect with their fellow Texans in the most honest, unguarded way... Because people who disagreed with me would show up to listen to what I had to say and more importantly share with me what was on their mind. We showed that we could be good to each other, respectful, even if we didn’t see eye to eye.” -- Beto O’Rourke

This second edition to the award-winning book, Developing a Data Warehouse for the Healthcare Enterprise, is a straightforward view of a clinical data warehouse development project, from inception through implementation and follow-up. Through first-hand experiences from individuals charged with such an implementation, this book offers guidance and multiple perspectives on the data warehouse development process―from the initial vision to system-wide release. The book provides valuable lessons learned during a data warehouse implementation at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center (KFSH&amp;RC) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia―a large, modern, tertiary-care hospital with an IT environment that parallels a typical U.S. hospital. This book also examines the value of the data warehouse from the perspectives of a large healthcare system in the U.S. and a corporate health services business unit. Special features of the book include a sample RFP, data warehouse project plan, and information analysis template. A helpful glossary and acronyms list are also included.
