17HOW DID SOFTWARE SUPPLIERS DESCRIBE THEIR
PRODUCTS IN THE 1990s?
18WHAT IS TODAYS TYPICAL SITUATION AT USER SITES?
- STILL MANY MANUAL RECORDS
- ERROR PRONE WORK PROCESSES
- POOR IMPLEMENTATION AND USE OF I.T. HAS RESULTED
IN A LARGE AMOUNT OF WORK PROCESS CONVOLUTIONS,
TANGLES, REDUNDANCY, AND DUPLICATION - LEGACY SYSTEMS IN PLACE ARE VERY OLD
- OVERSIMPLIFICATION OF AND MISUNDERSTANDING ABOUT
WHAT TO DO NEXT
19U.S. HAS MADE MUCH PROGRESS
- TODAY OVER 100 HOSPITALS HAVE IMPLEMENTED CPR
WITH CPOE - MANY OTHERS ARE IMPLEMENTING CPR AND CPOE RIGHT
NOW - I.T. IS A MAJOR TOOL FOR IMPROVING HOSPITAL
PERFORMANCE
20BUT U.S. HOSPITALS HAVE BEEN INEFFICIENT INVESTORS
- OVERSIMPLIFICATION OF I.T. INVESTMENT
CONSIDERATIONS (I.E., DID NOT KNOW WHAT THEY DID
NOT KNOW) - POOR PROJECT PLANNING
- IMPROPER ASSESSMENT OF SOFTWARE PRODUCT
CAPABILITIES - IMPLEMENTED A SERIES OF 1/2 SYSTEMS WITHOUT
PROPERLY REDESIGNING THE WORK PROCESS - INDUSTRY MANAGEMENT DID NOT LEARN ENOUGH FROM
PAST MISTAKES, AND THEREFORE, CONTINUED TO REPEAT
THE SAME MISTAKES - THIS LEFT THE NATION WITH REDUNDANT, CONVOLUTED,
EXPENSIVE, ERROR PRONE WORK PROCESSES THAT
PRESENTLY CRIPPLE THE COUNTRYS HEALTHCARE SYSTEM
21THE KEY DRIVERS OF U.S. H.I.T. MARKET GROWTH IN
2004-2005
- COMPUTERIZED PATIENT RECORDS (CPR/EMR/EHR)
- COMPUTERIZED PHYSICIAN ORDER ENTRY (CPOE)
- MEDICATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
- PATIENT SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS
- REDUCING MEDICAL ERRORS
- IMPROVING CLINICAL WORK PROCESSES
- PICTURE ARCHIVING COMPUTER SYSTEMS (PACS)
- SPECIALTY DEPARTMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS

22CEIBS HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
- OVERVIEW OF H.I.T. STATUS IN CHINA
23INTRODUCTION TO CHINA
- WHEN I FIRST CAME TO STUDY THE HEALTHCARE
INDUSTRY IN CHINA IN LATE 2004, ATTITUDES TOWARD
H.I.T. WERE VERY CONSERVATIVE - HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT WAS NOT HAPPY WITH I.T.
SYSTEMS IN USE - FUNCTIONALITY OF APPLICATION SOFTWARE AVAILABLE
FOR PURCHASE IN CHINA WAS VERY LIMITED AND THE
MOST FUNCTIONAL SYSTEMS WERE SELF-DEVELOPED - THE SKILLS TO MANAGE MAJOR I.T. UPGRADES WERE
FELT TO BE IN SHORT SUPPLY - AS A RESULT, HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT WAS HESITANT TO
MAKE MAJOR UPGRADES TO I.T. SYSTEMS - AT THAT TIME, THERE WAS VERY LIMITED BUYING OF
MAJOR NEW I.T. SYSTEMS IN CHINESE HOSPITALS - DURING THE PAST 2 YEARS, THE SITUATION HAS
CHANGED - MANY HOSPITALS ARE CONSIDERING MAJOR UPGRADES OF
I.T. SYSTEMS - BIG BUDGETS ARE STARTING TO BECOME AVAILABLE TO
MOVE TOWARD DIGITAL HOSPITALS WITH ELECTRONIC
MEDICAL RECORDS, PACS AND OTHER SYSTEMS - BUT WEAK APPLICATION SOFTWARE AND IMPLEMENTATION
SKILLS ARE DELAYING PROGRESS
24CHINA HEALTHCARE AND I.T. USE HAS SIMILARITIES TO
THE U.S. IN THE 1970s
- CHINA SPENDS 6.0 OF ITS GDP ON HEALTHCARE (800
BILLION RMB OR APPROXIMATELY 100 BILLION)
COMPARED TO U.S. SPENDING ON HEALTHCARE IN 1970
OF 7 GDP (75 BILLION) - MOST HOSPITALS IN CHINA USE I.T. SOFTWARE FOR
FINANCIAL SYSTEMS - I.T. USE IN CLINICAL SYSTEMS HAS EMERGED ON A
DEPARTMENTAL BASIS - SOME HOSPITALS HAVE ACCOMPLISHED MORE ADVANCED
SYSTEMS WITH MUCH CLINICAL FUNCTION AUTOMATED
USUALLY THROUGH USE OF SELF-DEVELOPED SOFTWARE - POOR INTEGRATION OF DIVERSE SOFTWARE SYSTEMS
CREATES PROBLEMS AS I.T. USE EXPANDS - THE HARDWARE AND NETWORKING CAPABILITY AVAILABLE
TO HOSPITALS IN 2005 IS MUCH BETTER THAN IT WAS
IN 1970s IN THE U.S. BUT SOFTWARE AVAILABLE FOR
CHINESE HOSPITALS TO AUTOMATE CLINICAL PROCESSES
IS IN ITS INFANCY
25CHINA HEALTHCARE AND I.T. USE HAS SIMILARITIES TO
THE U.S. IN THE 1970s(Continued)
- CHINA HOSPITAL WORK PROCESSES ARE REDUNDANT AND
ERROR PRONE WITH GREAT OPPORTUNITIES FOR
IMPROVEMENT THROUGH APPROPRIATE USE OF I.T. - CHINESE HOSPITALS WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A BIG LEAP
FORWARD IN IMPROVING WORK PROCESSES AND IN
DIGITIZING ITS HOSPITALS - THE MINISTRY OF HEALTHS GUIDELINES FOR HEALTH
I.T. DEVELOPMENT (2003-2010) CALLS FOR ELECTRONIC
MEDICAL RECORDS AND REGIONAL HEALTH NETWORKS TO
BE IMPLEMENTED PROVIDING MUCH MOMENTUM FOR
HOSPITALS AND HEALTH BUREAUS TO INVEST MORE IN
I.T. NOW - CHINA HAS NOT INVESTED A LOT OF RESOURCES IN I.T.
SYSTEMS AND INFRASTRUCTURE TO GET TO ITS PRESENT
LEVEL OF I.T. USE. WHILE CHINA WOULD LIKE TO
CONTINUE THIS APPROACH AS IT TAKES ITS NEXT STEPS
FORWARD, CHINAS I.T. GOALS WILL REQUIRE GREATER
INVESTMENT
26CHINA HEALTHCARE AND I.T. USE HAS SIMILARITIES TO
THE U.S. IN THE 1970s(Continued)
- THERE IS CONCERN AMONG H.I.T. EXPERTS IN CHINA
ABOUT THE READINESS OF H.I.T. SOFTWARE PRODUCTS,
HARDWARE PLATFORMS, AND INTEGRATION TOOLS TO
FACILITATE THE ACCOMPLISHMENT OF CHINAS GOALS - THERE IS ALSO DEVELOPING CONCERN AMONG H.I.T.
EXPERTS IN CHINA ABOUT THE IMPLEMENTATION SKILL
AND EXPERIENCE AVAILABLE IN CHINA TO TAKE THIS
BIG LEAP FORWARD THAT IS NOW UNDERWAY - SO CHINESE HOSPITALS AND HEALTH BUREAUS ARE
CAREFULLY CONSIDERING HOW TO TAKE THEIR NEXT
STEPS SUCCESSFULLY - FOR CHINA TO ACCOMPLISH ITS OBJECTIVE
SUCCESSFULLY REQUIRES THE FOLLOWING - OVERCOMING RESISTANCE TO CHANGE
- KNOWING HOW TO MANAGE CHANGE
- LEARNING FROM THE U.S. EXPERIENCE
- DOING MORE OF WHAT THE U.S. DID RIGHT AND NOT
MAKING U.S. MISTAKES - DEVELOPING EXPERTISE IN AREAS OF NEED
27CEIBS HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

IMPROVEMENT IN TERMS OF THE FOLLOWING AREAS - REVENUE IMPROVEMENT
- TIME SAVINGS
- OTHER COST REDUCTION
- REDUCTION OF ERRORS
- OTHER QUALITY OF CARE IMPROVEMENTS
- RAISING LEVEL OF PATIENT SATISFACTION
- SELECT THE HIGHEST PRIORITY IMPROVEMENTS FOR
IMPLEMENTATION - DEFINE THE NEEDED I.T. SYSTEMS AND CHANGES IN
WORK FLOW PROCESSES TO ACCOMPLISH THE

LIMITATIONS OF CURRENT I.T. SYSTEMS AND DETERMINE
REPLACEMENT REQUIREMENTS
30STRATEGIC PLANNING PHASE (CONTINUED)
- DECIDE WHETHER TO BUY OR DEVELOP THE I.T. SYSTEM
UPGRADE - PROVIDE THE NECESSARY EDUCATION TO HOSPITAL
MANAGEMENT, PHYSICIANS, I.T. USERS, AND I.T.
STAFF SO THAT THEY CAN BETTER UNDERSTAND THE
REQUIREMENTS TO SUCCESSFULLY MANAGE THE CHANGE - CREATE AN ECONOMIC ANALYSIS SUMMARIZING EXPECTED
COSTS AND BENEFITS OF THE CHANGE PROGRAM - GAIN GENERAL APPROVAL FROM HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT
TEAM - FINALIZE A STRATEGIC PLAN TO IMPLEMENT THE
OPERATIONS IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
31SYSTEM SELECTION AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN PHASE

I.T. PERSONNEL, AND MANAGEMENT - PREPARE A FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS DOCUMENT
DEFINING THE OBJECTIVES, FEATURES, TECHNICAL
REQUIREMENTS, AND ANY OTHER KEY CHARACTERISTICS
OF THE NEW SYSTEM - PREPARE A TENDER REQUEST (REQUEST FOR VENDOR
PROPOSALS) - DEVELOP EVALUATION CRITERIA AND APPROACH
- COMPARE AND EVALUATE PROPOSALS
- FOR LEADING SUPPLIERS CONDUCT VENDOR
SYSTEM DEMONSTRATIONS USING PREPARED SCRIPTS
CONDUCT TELEPHONE REFERENCE CHECKS CONDUCT
