Without benefit of an up-to-date, in-depth appraisal of any specific multi-facility's organization, the healthcare facility's mission statement and philosophy, and a detailed understanding of the current situation within each of the IS divisions and/or Data Processing departments, it is merely possible to generically assess the needs in light of today's readily available technology, and to subjectively and logically apply ones past experience to determine a preferred approach. Therefore, this overview of strategic planning considerations ought to be used with caution. A workable plan requires extensive on-going effort, and comes alive only when it is adopted by management. In the event that no previous information services planning activity has occurred within the organization, or where a prior strategic plan is more than three years old, prudent advice would include a strong recommendation to begin such a process without delay.
如果没有对任何特定多机构组织进行最新的、深入的评估，没有了解医疗机构的使命声明和理念，也没有详细了解每个信息系统部门和/或数据处理部门的当前状况，那么仅仅根据当今现成的技术来大致评估需求，并主观且合乎逻辑地运用以往经验来确定首选方法是可行的。因此，对战略规划考量的这一概述应谨慎使用。一个可行的计划需要持续大量的努力，并且只有在被管理层采纳后才会有成效。如果组织内以前没有进行过信息服务规划活动，或者以前的战略计划已超过三年，谨慎的建议是强烈推荐立即启动这样一个过程。
