Identifying Business and Information Needs
In a health care organization, size matters. The bigger the organization is the more data it produces, which, in return, demands more analytical work. Bigger size also requires more resources to offer support to their systems (Wang et al. 2018). It leads to an unnecessary increase in the cost of medical expenditure both by the health practitioners and the patients. Because of such occurrences, these facilities need to have a beneficial and accurate IT system that can efficiently analyze an entire organization’s available resources and produce high-quality medical services.
Data analytic vary from one organization to the other. Smaller organizations are likely to miss adequate storage capacity or maintenance ability to keep a vast amount of data. They are likely to get overburdened by extensive data, therefore, fil to effectively use them (Houston, & Bove, 2007). More significant organizations can analyze these big volumes of data and thus help them in improving their organizations.
Based on the research by Lehmann and Marconi, there are four significant types of project management used when analyzing the analytic needs of a healthcare organization. These four multiple types include: Goals and procedures of realizing the project are clearly defined; Goals are clearly defined whereas the methods are not; Goals are not clearly defined, but the plans are clear; Neither the goals nor the processes are clearly defined (Marconi, & Lehmann, 2015).
In a healthcare organization where the goals and procedures for realizing these goals are clearly defined, the organization carries out all their errands and successfully render their services while at the same time achieving their goals. When goals are clearly defined, but the process is not, the goals remain to be dreams as there is no format of getting to them (Houston, & Bove, 2007). When goals are not clear, but the methods are, the purposes might have a chance of becoming a reality. In conclusion, when neither the goals nor the procedures are stated, nothing can result from that kind of an organization.
