Since the beginning of the information systems implementation, the vast majority of spheres have adopted some cutting-edge technologies to increase the effectiveness of their working process. In particular, healthcare management digital solutions allow those who apply these innovations into practice to develop an informational and communicational system that helps workers and patients to benefit from Information Technology (IT) usage. Different factors affect the speed of new technologies adoption. In the health management sphere, the information system culture is the main aspect that helps determine healthcare representatives’ willingness to implement some innovations into the process. As a result, the commercial interest and need for effectiveness increase, two culture formulating components positively influence the implication of healthcare information and communication systems into everyday working practice.
First and foremost, creating a productive database is one of the most feasible approaches to significantly improve the patients’ health caring process in the short-term perspective. To be more specific, the effective information system should be based on qualitative data so that the workers can extract the important information faster and avoid disturbing others. Consequently, nowadays, the general healthcare sector culture strategically targets developing database solutions to adopt new technologies with the long-term view perspective (Nabelsi et al., 2016). On the other hand, even if the general culture implements new methods of increasing the effectiveness of the communication process, sometimes patients feel a decrease in the quality of service. As a result, it might directly influence the health management’s long-term development.
Nevertheless, healthcare workers use a developed database and analyze what type of communication is preferable for certain patients and what are the most effective ones for the overall health caring process (Mamlin et al., 2016). Finally, the general culture leads the healthcare sector to the development of service, while the communication process should be analyzed more specifically so that no patient will have a feeling of service cost-optimization.
