Return on Investment:  Maximizing the Value of Healthcare Information Technology

by Pam Arlotto and Jim Oakes

ROI analysis is an essential step when comparing IT expenditures to competing uses of scarce funds in today's complex healthcare environment.  This book develops the larger concept of value, which is based on the technology's impact on the business performance of the healthcare enterprise.  This book provides methodologies for expanding ROI analyses to include both tangible and intangible aspects of value.  In addition, the authors go beyond the traditional discrete costs analysis associated with a technology project to include an assessment of risks and the cost of change to the organization.
