IT Benchmarking Pilot meeting

Derek Mazurek, Spectrum Health, reviews results from the current survey on IT Costs and Staffing among the 9 responding organizations. Derek and Troy Hottovy, Saint Luke’s Health System, describe the shortcomings of existing IT benchmarking surveys and the concept for a web-enabled tool that SI could host, allowing comparisons of cost, staffing and functions supported. They discuss next steps, including agreement on metrics and definition development; and participants are invited to be a part of the Steering Committee for the creation of this SI IT Benchmarking tool.
