The Business Case for Healthcare IT

Tom Foley, Partner, Ayako Utsumi, Manager, Strategy & Operations, and Brian Doty, Senior Manager, Deloitte Consulting, LLP. Leading providers continue to ask questions such as: Am I getting the value from my current IT investments? How can I use technology to bring better service to my patients and employees? Where should I invest in technology for the future? Most have spent enormous sums on information technology, but many still fall short of meeting their information quality objectives. What strategies, rigor, and discipline should healthcare providers consider to drive greater value from enterprise information? Mr. Foley discusses the impact of information quality problems and the importance of determining the economic cost of existing processes, business benefits that can emerge from initiatives to improve information quality, and barriers that can inhibit companies from improving their processes for creating information. From Deloitte’s global research, hear about ways CFO and CIO teams are adding value by making changes in information management strategies and enabling technologies.
