Business intelligence (BI) has become a popular among management executives of different industries. Many publications have mentioned Big Data and how to use data intelligently. However, little is known about how to successfully implement BI in the healthcare industry. The unique characteristic of this business, which focuses only on quality of care and patient safety, has a big impact on decision-making. This research is based on a literature review and empirical evidence collected from interviews with professionals involved in the healthcare industry. Twenty-four hospital executives and Information Technology staff who have direct or indirect experience with BI were interviewed. It investigates critical success factors for BI implementation in hospitals and provides insight into the healthcare industry in Thailand. The concept of grounded theory was applied for content analysis. Insights from this research contribute to academia and the healthcare industry by providing first-time evidence of specific factors for BI implementation and guidelines in hospitals.

PurposeThe objective of this paper is to investigate, assess and develop a hierarchical model to evaluate the interrelationship of critical success factors (CSFs) that influence the deployment of Sustainable LSS framework in hospitals. Further, developed model has been validated to investigate its applicability in hospitals towards sustainable LSS implementation.Design/methodology/approach“Interpretive Structural Modeling” (ISM) has been utilized to develop a convenient hierarchy and contextual relationship of key CSFs throughout the implementation pathway in Indian healthcare industry through systematic literature review and expert opinion, which is ensured by a taxonomy of CSFs using MICMAC (“Matrice d' Impacts Croisés-Multiplication Appliquée á un Classement”) and questionnaire-based survey to empirically validate the model through utilizing “Structural Equation Modelling” (SEM).FindingsIn this study, 17 keys CSFs to sustainable LSS implementation in healthcare industry have been investigated, and modeled. “Social and environmental responsibility,” “Financial return and project success stories,” “Top management involvement and leadership to implement Sustainable LSS,” “Availability of required resources, and their efficient utilization” are found to be the most essential CSFs for successful sustainable LSS implementation in healthcare industry. Further, classification of CSFs has been done for better interpretation of their nature using MICMAC approach. Moreover, the applicability of the proposed model has been empirically assessed utilizing SEM.Research limitations/implicationsThe scrutiny of data reveals that the initial inputs from experts throughout the ISM pathway could trigger biased inputs into the study and generalization of the results into others, it might be viable that this propounded model might trigger distinct outcomes for contrasting types of healthcare organizations.Practical implicationsThis model on sustainable LSS would support the decision-makers, practitioners and researchers to predict key CSFs through deployment and support the existing academic research on sustainable LSS. Accordingly, the focus on the CSFs of the sustainable LSS can be prioritized to diminish waste, and enhance patient satisfaction and safety.Originality/valueThis paper is an original contribution of analysis of CSFs in Indian healthcare industry utilizing an integrated ISM-MICMAC and SEM approach.

Developing countries different sectors especially healthcare suffers from redundancy, lack of communication, lack of information, lack of resources, lack of sharing and lack of supervision as well as diagnosis errors. Cloud computing may offer great opportunities for the developing countries to modernize the healthcare sector and hence overcome the problems it suffers. Adoption of the cloud computing poses different challenges and obstacles which may complicate the actual implementation. This study aims at investigating the success factors for deploying cloud computing within the eHealth sector in developing countries and consequently the study employed the case of Egypt as a developing country. This research tested the critical factors quantitatively which was embedded within critical success factors models adopted from the literature within the context of cloud computing implementation. The model includes all the critical success factors and the effect of demographics on the factors for a successful implementation of cloud computing in the healthcare industry.
