HIT Strategic Plan
Corporate/ Institutional Goals and Objectives
Our mission is to provide the best environment for our employees and patients. Providing
employees with a comfortable workplace and training to offer patients the best possible care.
Patients will be able to receive effective quality care at a low cost. Our goal is to expand and
diversify the market service base to the best of our ability (Glandon, Smaltz, Slovensky, 2014).
HIT Goals and Objectives
Our Health Information Technology systems will analyze changes in the service market
and resources for the development of new services (Glandon, Smaltz, Slovensky, 2014).
Supplying our physicians with top of the line tools and software will allow them to effectively
treat patients with the highest quality of care. New health information technology will strive to
improve quality, effectiveness and efficiency of healthcare services while keeping their personal
health information private (Aminpour, Sadoughi, Ahmadi, 2013).
Priorities for the applications portfolio
Each factor listed below is imperative to the success of a HIT system but for the
successful planning we must list priorities for the new computer applications from most
recommended priority to least below. (Glandon, Smaltz, Slovensky, 2014)
Financial information system that manages all financial transactions like
payments from patients, assets, and expenses.
Office automation system ensure communication and document storage
Facilities project management system to ensure meeting company goals by
planning and organization
3
Human resources system for the hiring and proper training of employees
Resource utilization and scheduling systems for patients and physicians to avoid
delays, missed appointments and unused equipment
Materials management system organizing and controlling the disbursement of
materials available to employees
Financial information and office automation is listed as top priorities because patient
financial and medical documents need to be ensured of their privacy. The Health Information
Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) ensures that a patient’s medical private information
will be protected when electronically transmitted (Glandon, Smaltz, Slovensky, 2014). There can
be serious consequences if violated, thus we must ensure a patient’s privacy is protected at all
times.
HIT Architecture and Infrastructure
The current HIT architecture has many flaws to its system like time consumption,
distribution, information security, and sever pressure (Yao, Han, Ma, Xue, Chen, Li, 2014). All
of these detrimental issues can be avoided by using a Cloud based Virtual Desktop
Infrastructure. The new Cloud syste.

HIT Architecture and Infrastructure
The current HIT architecture has many flaws to its system like
time consumption,
distribution, information security, and sever pressure (Yao,
Han, Ma, Xue, Chen, Li, 2014). All
of these detrimental issues can be avoided by using a Cloud
based Virtual Desktop
Infrastructure. The new Cloud system will work almost like the
very popular ICloud system most
of us use to store photos or information from our cell phones
except with higher security. The
desktop infrastructure will have centralized data servers with
the appropriate amount of storage
and operating system to be able to withstand a large amount of
patient and facility data (Park,
Hwang, Lee, Park.Y, 2015). In order for the patient data to
reach the selected electronic devices,
6. it must be authorized though the virtual private network
firewall. Once the authorized device is
secured and connected to internet the patients and physicians
will be able to safely access data.
Much like the diagram below provided by omnicell.com, only
specified requested data will be
4
able to be received by authorized personnel though the cloud.
With the help of infrastructures
technical staff working closely with management and staff, the
centralized technology system
will be able to improve security, user satisfaction, and
efficiency (Glandon, Smaltz, Slovensky,
2014).
(omnicell.com)
Software Development Plan
In order to implement a new Health Information Technology
Cloud System, we must
analyze what materials are needed and how to apply them into
our facility. Implementation and
7. transition of the software will need to be capable with the
electronic devices in the facility (Yao,
Han, Ma, Xue, Chen, Li, 2014). Like many other large
healthcare organizations, we will be
utilizing a combination of different software developments
(Glandon, Smaltz, Slovensky, 2014).
We will be purchasing software packages from MedQuist and
MedPlus. MedQuist will provide
us with the software needed to transcribe clinical documents,
and speech recognition. The
MedPlus software package will include electronic storage,
patient data accessibility, and
physician portals (Mag, 2006).

HIT Management and Staffing Plan
For an effective new software system to work, staff must have
an understanding of its
functions. Each department will have their own specialized
technicians on hand to solve any
technical issues or misunderstanding of the system (Glandon,
8. Smaltz, Slovensky, 2014). When
implementing the software, the organization will work as a team
focusing on workflow process
one department at a time. This will allow staff members to make
clinical suggestions, be
attentive, and be united (Cohn, Berman, Chaiken, Green,
Green.M, 2009)
Resource Requirements
Of the many resources needed to carry out the HIT plan, a
capital and operating budget
are extremely essential. The capital budget will consist of the
cost that coincide with the
computer hardware, software, network and telecommunication
equipment for the following five
to ten years. The operating budget will cover most assets from
the HIT plan like training
programs, consultants, supplies and materials. (Glandon,
Smaltz, Slovensky, Boxerman, Austin,
2008). In order to execute our goals as an organization it is
also required to have a planning
method with a series of steps like the one below.
6
9. (Glandon, Smaltz, Slovensky, Boxerman, Austin, 2008).
As shown in the diagram, there are many steps that need to be
accounted for when
presenting a plan to upper management. First and foremost,
there must be an informative topic
research presented to management so they are aware of your
studies (Glandon, Smaltz,
Slovensky, 2014). With reviewing the successes and failures of
other software and information
technology programs we will be able to identify our technology
system needs (Park, Hwang,
Lee, Park.Y, 2015). Once we have an understanding of what
HIT systems our institution is
capable of, we can begin following the steps of implementation.
Summary/ Conclusion
Much thought and dedication is necessary when creating your
own HIT system. It is most
important that we plan ahead and research what is needed to
have a successful technology
system in our facilities to reach our goals. A HIT strategic plan
10. must include the following,
Present process
to management
Review strategic
direction
Ientify and
review IT
capabilities
Summarize
system needs
Identify system
alternatives
Plan for
implementation
Resource and
time estimates
Present plan to
management
7
institutional goals, HIT goals, priorities, architecture and
infrastructure, software development, a
11. staffing plan, and resource requirements. All of these elements
show us what we need to know to
create a system that is within budget and how to safely
implement it in the facility so that it is
easily accessible to patients and physicians without releasing
any confidential information.
A cloud based HIT system is best for the patients, physicians,
and healthcare facilities.
Cloud based technology systems provides high performance
health care delivery safety and
quickly at a low cost. Without the need of a big PC server near
every computer in the facility,
cloud services will decrease electricity costs (Yao, Han, Ma,
Xue, Chen, Li, 2014).
