Managing information systems: still a CFO function.

This article represents the first in a series examining the information management needs, both now and in 1988, of hospital CFOs. Future articles will focus on the management concerns of CFOs in relation to information, their current and projected use of information management products for long-range, strategic planning, and criteria for systems design. All these articles are based on HFMA members' opinions as voiced in a recent national poll. In all, more than 600 CFOs and data processing professionals responded to a recent survey sponsored by HFMA, HBO & Company, and Amherst Associates.

Evolution of health information management and information technology in emergency medicine.

The implementation of information technology will continue to have important effects on the practice of emergency medicine. Patient registration and tracking systems, telemedicine electronic order entry systems, and the advent of electronic health records are some examples of applications that influence patient care in emergency departments. We review the literature regarding information technology advances in emergency medicine and outline the important role that emergency physicians play in developing and implementing a national health information technology strategy.

Future health services managers' and health information managers' views on information technology: a pilot survey.

This pilot survey examined the views of a sample of health service managers (HSMs) and health information managers (HIMs) undertaking tertiary studies about the application of information technology (IT) in health care. The survey was based on a questionnaire designed as part of a 1994 study of health service executives (HSEs) commissioned by the Australian College of Health Service Executives (ACHSE). We examined views about current and future IT expenditure, satisfaction with IT, impact of IT on quality and efficiency and the future use of electronic medical records and optical disk storage. Results identify differences and some similarities between respondent groups on these issues. The paper explores these differences and similarities and provides insight into the views held by future HSMs and HIMs.

Knowledge-based information management: implications for information services.

The 1994 Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) standards for information management will change the way health care librarians respond to JCAHO accreditation surveys and may affect the way libraries are managed. This article will highlight the changes in the standards and the new opportunities they offer. Implications for library operations and the challenges inherent in working with the new Accreditation Manual for Hospitals (AMH) are also explored. The long-awaited 1994 Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) Accreditation Manual for Hospitals (AMH) is now on most hospital library shelves. As expected, librarians will find that the section on Professional Library Services (the PR chapter) has disappeared and that the standards previously in that section are now incorporated in part into the new Management of Information, or IM chapter. Although this method of grouping standards may be new to many health sciences librarians, the incorporation of library services into IM may actually provide many more opportunities for librarians than the previous method of addressing library services separately.

Health informatics: managing information to deliver value.

Can informatics improve health? This paper answers yes, exploring its components, benefits, and effect on a wide variety of health-related activities. We first examine how information technology enables health informatics, supporting information management and knowledge creation through its four cornerstones. Success factors in using informatics are covered next, including human factors, the role of trained health informaticians, and the importance of matching informatics initiatives with business goals and establishing and measuring value. We demonstrate the potential effect of the Internet on health services through such e-health applications as enterprise-wide patient records, state-of-the-art call centers, and data repositories. For current evidence that informatics is already improving health, we turn to such topics as disease management, telehealth, patient safety, and decision support. As more organizations move informatics from theory into practice and realize its value, they will transform inefficient processes and improve care for all.

Information management: an HMO essential.

Health maintenance organizations (HMO), with their diverse audiences and complex operations, offer the best proof that management information systems (MIS) are emerging as an essential and marketable business asset. Authors Paul Egerman and Susan Heineman offer many uses for a good MIS and why such a program is essential to an HMO's success.

Information management for managed care.

A key concern for medical groups is how to manage information in a dual environment of capitation and fee for service. Information systems that work for one may not work for the other. Finding a system that works for both is critical. Some of the data that would be beneficial to collect for starting managing capitation contracts include: age/sex ratios of the practice patient population, average number of visits per patient per year, average number of visits by ICD-9 code for total population, average procedures per patient per year, and analysis of paverage payment per visit/procedure for commercial and Medicare patients. Some of the major concerns addressed include operational issues, financial viability and automated billing systems.

Managing information in the academic medical center: building an integrated information environment.

The strategic importance of integrated information systems and resources for academic medical centers should not be underestimated. Ten years ago, the National Library of Medicine in collaboration with the Association of Academic Medical Centers initiated the Integrated Advanced Information Management System (IAIMS) program to assist academic medical centers in defining a process for addressing deficiencies in their information environments. The authors give a brief history of the IAIMS program, and they describe both the characteristics of an integrated information environment and the technical and organizational structures necessary to create such an environment. Strategies some institutions have used to implement integrated information systems are also outlined. Finally, the authors discuss the role of librarians in integrated information system design.

Information management: emergence of a new deal. Roundtable on information management.

Is a new position in healthcare management--the chief information officer (CIO)--emerging? As yet, there is no clear answer. However, if such a management position were to emerge, it could be one that facilitates and coordinates the informational interests of the CEO, CFO, and others in the healthcare organization. This position and others on the management team could work together in a cooperative and mutually supportive relationship. In a roundtable discussion sponsored by HFMA, six individuals, part of a CIO advisory panel for the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society, met to discuss up-coming issues in information management. In this discussion, trends in information management, characteristics of the ideal CIO, and the relationship between the CFO and CIO were explored.
