Conceptual Model for the Adoption of Enterprise Application Integration in Healthcare Organizations

Abstract

Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) has emerged to provide significant benefits to organisations. From a technical perspective, EAI overcomes integration problems at all integration levels (e.g. data level, process level etc) by providing a flexible and manageable Information Technology (IT) infrastructure. From a business perspective EAI reduces the overall integration cost due to the reduction of integration time and maintenance cost. A review of the literature in the area of EAI indicates that the impact of EAI adoption has not been widely studied and researched in healthcare organisations. As a result there is a relative void in the literature. Healthcare organisations seek answers to the impact of EAI adoption. As well in practice, with this paper exploring the issues related to EAI adoption in healthcare organisations. In doing so, a conceptual model for EAI adoption in healthcare organisations is proposed. Decision makers in the healthcare organisations, when considering the adoption of EAI can use the model.
