DESCRIPTION
ABSTRACT:
This case deals with the issues involved in initiation of computer-based information systems at a large organization that was under pressure due to administrative problems. Rapid increase in the number of patients without a corresponding increase in serving staff, and the top management perception that it had lost control over day-to-day operations were some of the many problems. Even the issue of computerization was controversial; the top management, the controlling authority of the hospital, felt that it might be the answer to current problems, while hospital management did not agree.
