| Summary: | Healthcare is a community service sector and has
been delivering its services for the betterment of civic health
since its establishment at communal level. For working efficiently
and effectively, this sector profoundly relies on correct and
complete health information of people and a proficient integrated
healthcare knowledge management information system (HKMIS)
to manage this information. The performance of Healthcare
organizations has significantly augmented by inception of
Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in HKMIS
in developed countries, but is yet to exhibit its full potential in
developing countries specifically those with huge populations like
Pakistan. An exploratory qualitative research methodology was
adopted to conduct this study. The purpose and objective of this
study was to determine and investigate the internal and external
factors that influence the performance of HKMIS by performing
SWOT analysis on two of the largest public-sector healthcare
organizations of Pakistan. The findings of this study will
certainly help authorities to devise methods of improvement in
Pakistani HKMIS eventually paving ways towards a better and
improved healthcare in the future. |
