Managing technology in a complex healthcare delivery system.
Although clinical management is generally best handled regionally in a large system, e-health is the exception. E-health is managed centrally and not regionally because the patient access is not regional--it is virtual. Also, when patient demand, not business rationalization pressure, is the driver for change, it makes business sense to modify the management form from a regional to a centralized function.
