In the information age, one of the paradoxes is how to get the information your organization needs to where it's needed when it's needed. At the MHA, we've made a strategic decision to employ the Internet (MHAnet), fax on demand (MHA QuickFax), and videoconferencing capabilities to communicate, almost instantaneously, with key staff at member institutions. These methods don't replace face-to-face meetings and documents through the mail, but they do offer members additional avenues for immediate access to the resources and services of the MHA.
在信息时代,其中一个矛盾之处在于如何在组织需要信息的时候,将所需信息送达需要的地方。在医疗保健协会(MHA),我们做出了一项战略决策,即利用互联网(MHAnet)、按需传真(MHA QuickFax)和视频会议功能,与会员机构的关键员工几乎即时地进行沟通。这些方式并不会取代面对面会议和通过邮件发送文件,但它们确实为会员提供了额外途径,使其能够即时获取医疗保健协会的资源和服务。
