Presentation

Establishing an Enterprise Information Strategy

Harvard University Health Services (HUHS) is the provider of health care for faculty, staff, students, and retires or Harvard University.

As the care provider for our patients, HUHS wants to ensure the wellbeing of our patients even for care that is provided outside of our organization. Increasingly, the organization finds that commutating with other business partners is more and more critical to our patient care. HUHS is therefore making major effort to improve its methods for enterprise information management. Unfortunately, for the foreseeable future, HUHS expects to have to adjust to diverse methods of collecting information and making this information available to those who need it.

This talk presents a high level overview of what HUHS expects and the advantages and disadvantages of these approaches.
