Healthcare IT: Finding The EHR Roadmap Feb 24, 2010

Show notes

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 has put health care organizations under pressure to adopt electronic medical record systems (EHR) by 2014, but many health organizations are nowhere near ready to convert their existing systems to an EHR system. What are the challenges to this goal, and are there any ways to fast track the effort? Once all hospitals have an EHR system, will the advantages they provide also improve patient healthcare and delivery?

Delivering Actionable BI Feb 17, 2010

Show notes

Historically, BI reporting told you what had already happened, but hasn't offered much of anything actionable. Shouldn't predictive analytics provide actionable insight to business people other than analysts, so those on the frontline will not only understand what has happened but can see what actions they need to take to improve results? How practical and expensive is such a proposition? What ROI could we expect out of it?

Improving Application Performance Management Feb 03, 2010

Show notes

Wouldn't it be great to have a crystal ball that would warn us when our business critical application performance was starting to slip? Unfortunately, we can't predict this and when it happens, we engage in finger pointing matches, nerve racking troubleshooting exercises, and sometimes end up losing internal/external customer goodwill. What combination of tools and other elements need to be in place, in order to keep application performance on track and predictable, monitor it, and more importantly, get it back on track quickly if it slips?

Show notes

The Application Development function is fraught with challenges, complexities, and can require hard-to-find resources. So, does it make sense to keep this function in-house?

IT Governance Also Offers Business Survival! Nov 25, 2009

Show notes

IT leaders are used to thinking of IT governance as a way to optimize IT to create and deliver value. However, when economic times turn tough there is a tendency to see it as a cost and a budget item to be cut. What if that thinking is wrong? What if IT governance could help us to avoid costly mistakes and actually save money in the long run?
