Question

Why is performing a technology assessment or gap analysis beofre deploying an HIS application important, and how can this mitigate futureb system problems or crashes?

Answer 1

Technology Assessment is an analysis of the likely impact of technological innovation, taking into account technological, economic, political, social, and cultural considerations, intended for use as a guide to policy.

Gap analysis is defined as the comparison of the actual performance with the desired performance of the particular organization.

Health Information System is defined as an integrated, comprehensive, computerized system that is used to collect, store, manage, analyze, and communicate all the information needed to run a health care facility.

This system and technology mainly concentrate on a highly developing technological infrastructure of a particular organization. Even though there are many complexities in the application of HIS, while operating with the Health Information System we have to make sure it with operational support personnel for the successful result.

Before the implementation of the Health Information System, we have to make sure that the technology assessment and gap analysis for the effective result.

The gap analysis and technology assessment before the HIS implementation results in the successful result and shows the technological stability.

We have to mitigate the system problem or crash by the effective implementation of Health information system application in a proper way by the early assessment with operational support personnel. If not doing in a proper way result in adverse effects thus the system becomes unstable, unavailable, when compared with a planned one.

Anyway we need an effective implementation of HIS programme thus minimize the issues we have to preplanned to avoid crashes and successful HIS initiatives
