Dear colleagues,<br>
As is usual I share now (below) the main useful results from my
inquiry about Maturity Models for IST in Healthcare.<br>
I obtained little feedback, most requesting the results of my
inquiry :-)<br>
Kind regards,<br>

</div>
<div>My department colleagues and I've been working on this topic
for several years and developed several distinct maturity models
for the healthcare domain:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1) We developed a maturity model for the alignment between the
IT and the medical departments (in other industries usually
referred to as business/IT-alignment). Related to this topic we
published some articles (but not the maturity model itself) in
some international journals: </div>

</ul>
<div><br>
</div>
</div>
<div>The full version of maturity model is unfortunately only
available in German and used by some 15-20 hospitals here in
Switzerland. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>2) We developed a maturity model for measuring the supply chain
management capabilities of hospitals. Here is an article about
that:</div>

style="color:grey"> 6 (2)</span>. </li>
</ul>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>3) We are currently developing a maturity model for measuring
the "interfaces" between hospitals and other stakeholders (e.g.
general practitioners, governmental authorities, etc.):</div>

</ul>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We also were looking for new ways how to design maturity models
based on mathematical algorithms (instead of the usual "good
guessing") as well as defined some guidelines for developing
maturity models:</div>

<pre wrap="">Hi
Your student might find:
R D Galliers & A R Sutherland (1991). "Information Systems Management and Strategy Formulation: The 'Stages of Growth' Model Revisited", Journal of Information Systems (now Information Systems Journal), 1(2): 89-114
of interest.
It's a bit dated, and more general in its coverage, but it contains reflections on a number of stages models.
It's also published as a chapter in the SIM book, listed below my signature.

<pre wrap="">Dear colleagues,
I have a student who is conducting a survey on existing Maturity Models for Information Systems and Technologies (IST) in healthcare, whose aim is to select one that can be applied in measuring the Maturity of IST in Hospitals, but he found little scientific literature on this subject.
In this context, he thanks you in advance any suggestion of relevant literature/models.
