Case management information systems: how to put the pieces together now and beyond year 2000.
Healthcare organizations must establish the goals and objectives of their case management processes before functional and system requirements can be defined. A gap analysis will identify existing systems that can be used to support case management as well as areas in need of systems support. The gap analysis will also identify short-term tactical projects and long-term strategic initiatives supporting the automation of case management. The projects resulting from the gap analysis must be incorporated into the organization's business and information systems plan and budget to ensure appropriate funding and prioritization.
