In Unit 1, you completed the strategic information systems plan, and in Unit 2, you completed the situational analysis. In Unit 3, your team will conceptualize an IT strategy that aligns with the organizational strategy.
This phase is focused on strategy conception. Your team must use the analysis from Units 1 and 2 to develop a health IT strategy that is consistent with the organizational strategy.
For the strategy conception process, you must accomplish the following:
- Identify IT goals for the organization.
- Identify major IT objectives.
- Use the results of your earlier analysis to create a matrix on strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT).
- Identify opportunities for improvement.
- Evaluate opportunities and challenges.
- Identify high-level IT strategies for the healthcare organization.
