Keywords:
Health Information Technology, Healthcare Management, Innovation, Patient Satisfaction, Patient ExperienceAbstract
Purpose: This study aims to analyze the role of healthcare management in the implementation of Health Information Technology (HIT) innovations and examine their impact on patient satisfaction and patient experience, as well as to identify key success factors and challenges associated with HIT adoption in healthcare systems.
Subjects and Methods: This study employs a qualitative approach using a literature review method. Data were collected from various scholarly sources, including peer-reviewed journal articles, books, and relevant publications related to Health Information Technology, healthcare management, and patient satisfaction. The collected literature was systematically analyzed to synthesize findings on managerial roles, implementation strategies, and outcomes of HIT adoption.
Results: The findings reveal that successful HIT implementation is strongly influenced by the integration of technology into healthcare workflows, effective managerial support, and the readiness of human resources and infrastructure. Healthcare management plays a critical role in formulating digital strategies, facilitating organizational change, and optimizing system utilization. HIT adoption improves service efficiency, accessibility, transparency, and patient engagement, thereby enhancing patient satisfaction and experience. However, challenges such as limited digital literacy, resistance to change, unequal access to technology, and data security concerns remain significant barriers.
Conclusions: The study concludes that effective HIT implementation requires a comprehensive, user-centered approach supported by strong managerial leadership. Synergy among technology, management, and human resources is essential to achieve high-quality, patient-centered healthcare services.
