Managing information systems: still a CFO function.
This article represents the first in a series examining the information management needs, both now and in 1988, of hospital CFOs. Future articles will focus on the management concerns of CFOs in relation to information, their current and projected use of information management products for long-range, strategic planning, and criteria for systems design. All these articles are based on HFMA members' opinions as voiced in a recent national poll. In all, more than 600 CFOs and data processing professionals responded to a recent survey sponsored by HFMA, HBO & Company, and Amherst Associates.
