This book looks at the pressing issue of the contribution of information systems (IS) to the healthcare field. It examines the potential of IS to change management processes in complex organizations, before addressing more specific concerns relating to the healthcare domain. It then looks at the increasing demand for accountability and the struggle of management accounting systems in pursuing cost effectiveness and quality, in turn signalling how and why IS have the potential and power to re-shape the healthcare context. In so doing, the book offers a fresh and wholly encompassing look at the future of healthcare in the digital area, providing a base for reflection to practitioners and policymakers.
