- The implementation of Health Information Technology (HIT) can improve the provision of high-quality and efficient healthcare services; however, it has met with significant challenges in many cases. Despite the challenges occurring in many countries, prior research on HIT implementation success factors is, however, mainly from the USA. This research conducted a survey to IT managers in Nordic countries' healthcare organizations and compiled a list of the HIT implementation success factors that these managers considered important in each country. It was found that IT managers in Nordic countries agree highly with each other in their judgment of the importance of these success factors. While Nordic countries' healthcare systems and culture are relatively similar, the results suggest that an internationally applicable set of recommendations for the successful completion of HIT implementations could be within the realm of possibility.

Information Technology Managers and Critical Success Factors in Healthcare Organizationsin Nordic countries

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Many studies have attempted to identify the success factors for Health Information Technology (HIT) implementation. Unfortunately, such success factor lists are long and unwieldy, and it can be difficult to see which ones should have received more attention than others. Thus, there is a need to examine critical success factors (CSFs) that should be most attended to in the context of competing priorities. IT managers, through their experience, can know best which relevant factors have been crucial for successful implementation of the projects; therefore, it is imperative to understand the perceptions of IT managers regarding relative importance of success factors in HIT implementation. This research aims to reassess and synthesize CSFs influencing HIT implementation, focusing on the question: “What are the CSFs in HIT implementation from IT managers’ point of view?” We surveyed the IT managers in four Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Norway and Swe-den) and discuss the preliminary results regarding IT manager background and the CSFs in this research-in-progress paper.
