Abstract

This paper reports the outcomes of a study on an integrated situational alignment framework for picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) labeled as PISA. Following the design research cycle, complementary validation methods and pilot cases were used to assess the proposed framework and its operationalized survey. In this paper, the authors outline (a) the process of the framework’ development, (b) the validation process with its underlying iterative steps, (c) the outcomes of pilot cases, and (d) improvement opportunities to refine and further validate the PISA framework. Results of this study support empirical application of the framework to hospital enterprises in order to gain insights into their PACS maturity and alignment. We argue that the framework can be applied as a valuable tool for assessments, monitoring and benchmarking purposes and strategic PACS planning.

Footnotes
1
The project team consists of two professors and an associate professor of organization and information and business–IT alignment and a PACS/medical informatics researcher.
 
2
Statements for maturity level 1 and 2 for each organizational domain are omitted for practical reasons and due to the fact that all Dutch hospital have a PACS implemented (initial maturity level). Level 2 can be deducted from assigned scores to level 3 statements.
