Title: Use of IT in a Hospital setting: The Medical City Case

Abstract:

“Healthcare is IT’s final frontier.” Compared with other industries like Banking, Manufacturing among others, the Healthcare industry is relatively poor in implementing Information Technology capabilities in its operations. For most hospitals, finding the right technologies to streamline its transactions can become a daunting task.

This is a look in how The Medical City took the road less traveled and created its own integrated Hospital Information System from ground up.
