Abstract
Today’s information rich and knowledge-based business society relies heavily on Information Technology (IT) and Information Systems (IS) design to enable the business to operate effectively and create a competitive advantage. Firms must align their IS design and performance with the core business competencies and business goals of the firm. There are multiple paths towards this end and inefficiencies and conflicts may arise when the firm’s IS strategies diverge from the business goals. This is no different in the health industry where conflicts exist between IS infrastructure and development, and business goals. The existence of inflexible mainframe IS unable to support modern technology such as the Internet, telemedicine, wireless technology and real-time management software has compromised the business goals and business development in the health vertical to the extent that it has now fallen behind other comparable knowledge industries.
