When healthcare organizations merge, their goal often is to improve operational efficiencies, with information systems (IS) a common target for cost reduction. These cost reductions usually are achieved by reducing staff, consolidating data centers, establishing standardized systems, and sharing resources throughout the system. During this process, however, several common pitfalls can cause merging organizations to stumble. By carefully evaluating their options, merging organizations can avoid these potential traps and reduce their IS costs.
当医疗保健组织合并时，其目标通常是提高运营效率，信息系统（IS）是常见的成本削减目标。这些成本削减通常通过裁员、合并数据中心、建立标准化系统以及在整个系统中共享资源来实现。然而，在此过程中，几个常见的陷阱可能会导致合并后的组织陷入困境。通过仔细评估其选择，合并后的组织可以避免这些潜在的陷阱并降低其信息系统成本。
