Abstract

It is imperative that healthcare organizations be able to evaluate their performance by gathering useful information and comments from consumers. A horizontal information system is a strategy that helps determine value- and non-value-adding work activities. By eliminating activities that are not value-adding, a healthcare organization can focus on long-term profitability through success-oriented decision making.
