SWOT Analysis PowerPoint 

Overview

Physicians and patients have been affected by the development and implementation of Health Information Technology (HIT). There are many other health care professionals and venues affected by significant complexities and characteristics that make HIT implementation as challenging. For example, standardized data formats are used to facilitate data portability, work culture barriers, system costs, training issues, and other matters. Some Emergency Medical Services (EMS) providers have begun to use a variety of portable electronic health records to collect data at the scenes of patient incidents with systems designed to transmit data to receiving hospitals. Overall, however, achieving the Nationwide Health Information Network has been elusive due to administrative and technical difficulties.

Scenario

To achieve the HIT goals of improving health care quality and reducing costs, extensive and rigorous work remains in the research and implementation arenas. Assume you have just graduated with your Masters degree and you have passed a series of interviews at the top hospital known as We Care Hospital. You are hired as the Chief Operating Officer (COO) and your first task is to conduct a SWOT analysis of the HIT system at We Care Hospital. Research the websites of your local hospital and determine its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats based on the ease of information, access for potential patients, and clinical quality features located on its website that identify the basic operations of the health care organization.
