Despite an understanding of infrastructure, business, and information technology (IT) issues in an integrated delivery system, or even the best management strategies for an information systems (IS) environment, many healthcare organizations’ IT efforts fail because they did not adequately quantify the value received from the IT investments.

This section will provide guidance on understanding and maximizing IT value.
