Voltamos a ouvir a voz de mais stakeholders que estiveram presentes neste evento: The World of IT - 2006. Desta vez, analisemos o que disseram os gestores da saúde:
- "For Professor Brian Edwards, President of the European Hospital and Healthcare Federation (HOPE), “managing processes of healthcare IT implementation is already a challenging task in itself. People who want to use e-systems are often reluctant to invest in the cost implied in a proper implementation structure”"
- "“it is a tough task to introduce a new piece of software in a real operational environment like a hospital, among other things because it requires extensive staff training, and this is something people tend to underestimate”".
- "When you want to implement a healthcare IT system, should you turn to a user first, or to a computing expert or maybe to an accountant? The right answer to this is certainly someone with a solid background to understand the time-cost specifications".
- "Today, there is a need for common healthcare IT systems across national borders. Some industries have already succeeded in doing so. For instance, in banking a way has been found to work together on a transnational scale".
- "probably a European eHealth system is not feasible, as infrastructures and levels of investment are very different".
Os investimentos em novas tecnologias, na saúde, não devem ser considerados, como opcionais. São mesmo, obrigatórios. Contudo, é preciso ter em conta, quais as melhores soluções, e para isso devemos ouvir as experiências de gestores de outros países, mais avançados.
