Information Technology Issues in Healthcare: Hospital CEO and CIO Perspectives
Communications of The Ais, 2012Co-Authors: Prashant Palvia, Hamid R Nemati, Kevin B. Lowe, Tim JacksAbstract:Healthcare Information Technology (HIT) is widely regarded as a key to improving the quality of healthcare in the United States and potentially reducing its cost. Yet, its implementation is a continuous challenge for the healthcare industry. In this article, we report the results of a survey distributed to CEOs and CIOs at 1400 U.S. Hospitals regarding their perceptions of the key information technology (IT) issues in healthcare. Among the top ten issues, the implementation of electronic medical records is ranked the highest. Included in the top ten are issues related to: improving healthcare quality by the use of information technology; change management, privacy, security, and accuracy of electronic records; and decision support applications. While some differences existed, we found much similarity between the views of the CEOs and the CIOs with both groups being characterized as conservative and risk-averse in their entrepreneurial orientation. No major differences were observed between urban and rural Hospitals, or large and small Hospitals. Given the heightened interest in healthcare IT, these results have wide implications for many stakeholders in this burgeoning industry

increasing the relevance of research to health care managers Hospital CEO imperatives for improving quality and lowering costs
Health Care Management Review, 2007Co-Authors: Jeffrey A Alexander, Larry R. Hearld, Joanna H Jiang, Irene FraserAbstract:Background: Evidence-based management assumes that available research evidence is consistent with the problems and decision-making conditions faced by those who will utilize this evidence in practice. Purpose: This article attempts to identify how Hospital leaders view key determinants of Hospital quality and costs, as well as the fundamental ways these leaders "think" about solutions to quality and cost issues in their organizations. The objective of this analysis is to better inform the research agenda and approaches pursued by health services research so that this research reflects the "realities" of practice in Hospitals. Methods: We conducted a series of semistructured interviews with a convenience sample of eight Hospital and three health system leaders. Questions focused on current and future challenges facing Hospitals as they relate to Hospital quality, costs, and efficiency, and potential solutions to those challenges. Findings: Nine major organizational and managerial factors emerged from the interviews, including staffing, evidence-based practice, information technology, data availability and benchmarking, and leadership. Hospital leaders tend to think about these factors systemically and consider process-related factors as the important drivers of cost and quality. Practice Implications: The results suggest a need to expand the methods utilized by health services researchers to make their research more relevant to health care managers. Expanding research methods to reflect the systemic way that managers view the challenges and solutions facing their organizations may enhance the application of research findings into management practice. Finally, better communication is needed between the research and practice communities. Researchers must learn to think more like managers if their research is to be relevant, and managers must learn to more effectively communicate their issues with the research community and frame their problems in researchable terms.

CEO perceptions of competition and strategic response in Hospital markets
Medical Care Research and Review, 2001Co-Authors: Jeffrey A Alexander, Lawton R Burns, Michael A Morrisey, Victoria A JohnsonAbstract:Physician-organization integration (POI) has emerged as a key issue for Hospitals and health systems seeking to improve the quality and cost-effectiveness of care. Although competition and managed care are often cited as primary market drivers of the adoption of POI strategies, prior research has shown only weak associations between these market attributes and POI. This article argues that the role of key organizational decision makers has not been adequately accounted for in explaining strategic change. The study examines the role of Hospital CEO perceptions of competition in predicting the adoption of five different approaches to POI. CEO perceptions of general market competition are explained by a combination of market and organizational attributes. Furthermore, when controlling for objective characteristics of the environment and organization, CEO perceptions of competition have consistent, statistically significant associations with four of five measures of POI examined.
