چکیده

Governments increasingly recognize the importance of healthcare information systems (HIS) as a tool to decrease costs, streamline workflow and enhance patient care. Many approaches have been taken to improve HIS in the international community. Our research aims to categorise problems related to these HIS using the concept of data quality and the information product approach. This paper illustrates how the implementation of total data quality management (TDQM) methodologies could help to solve problems currently evident in HIS in Europe. Information management strategies employed by healthcare systems in Europe are discussed and examined. It is our hypothesis that data quality-based management methodologies provide an efficient vehicle for reform in healthcare systems. We are undertaking further research in this area to examine the requirements for, and effects of data quality management in healthcare settings through empirical evaluation of healthcare information management strategies in Europe.
