The University of Wisconsin-Madison Health Sciences Schools are currently in the planning stage of developing an Integrated Advanced Information Management System (IAIMS). The planning phase of this project attends to the unique opportunities that are found at the flagship campus of a large state university system. Statewide teaching and research initiatives and accelerated campus-level capital development challenge the planners to create an IAIMS plan that anticipates an emerging health science environment. Additionally, UW-Madison has an organizational culture with a strong tradition of faculty governance, which provides a very desirable and flexible decision-making environment for a cross-discipline collaborative information management initiative. Development of a shared IAIMS vision conflicts with a governance model that most directly supports intradepartmental decision-making. The challenge presented here for an IAIMS initiative has less to do with hard wiring a technical infrastructure and more to do with increased stakeholder cooperation in a highly decentralized organization with autonomous information systems.
威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校健康科学学院目前正处于开发综合先进信息管理系统（IAIMS）的规划阶段。该项目的规划阶段关注的是在大型州立大学系统的旗舰校区所发现的独特机遇。全州范围的教学和研究计划以及加速的校园层面资本发展，促使规划者制定一个能够预见新兴健康科学环境的IAIMS计划。此外，威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校拥有一种具有强大教师治理传统的组织文化，这为跨学科协作信息管理计划提供了非常理想且灵活的决策环境。制定共享的IAIMS愿景与最直接支持部门内部决策的治理模式相冲突。这里IAIMS计划面临的挑战与其说是构建技术基础设施，不如说是在一个拥有自主信息系统的高度分散的组织中增强利益相关者的合作。
