Although physicians have the greatest influence on the resource utilization of hospital patients, Canadian hospitals have not been too successful in bringing physicians into the resource planning and decision-making processes. This is because most hospitals have been unable to provide the information needed by physicians to participate in resource management in a meaningful way. With the introduction of a new system in the Canadian Province of Alberta that fundamentally changes the way hospitals are funded, it has become even more important to involve medical staffs in the utilization management process. This article describes the new funding system and highlights some of the ways in which Wetaskiwin Health Care Centre has leveraged information technology to support the utilization management process in this new environment.
尽管医生对医院患者的资源利用有着最大的影响，但加拿大医院在让医生参与资源规划和决策过程方面并不太成功。这是因为大多数医院无法提供医生以有意义的方式参与资源管理所需的信息。随着加拿大艾伯塔省引入一种从根本上改变医院资金筹集方式的新系统，让医务人员参与利用管理过程变得更加重要。本文介绍了新的资金系统，并重点介绍了韦塔斯基温医疗保健中心在这种新环境下利用信息技术支持利用管理过程的一些方式。
