Currently, the share of healthcare services offered in Bulgaria is comparatively smaller than that in the European Union member states, however, the Bulgarian healthcare sector continues to be on the route towards the establishment of the new healthcare system. The leading activities in the sector are the provision of comprehensive healthcare services – improvement of health and disease prevention, outpatient medical assistance, hospital medical assistance (treatment, surgery and post-surgery services). The provision of well-structured and correctly organised business processes, as well as their management are basic economic problems with increasing significance for the management of the healthcare sector. The review of numerous literature sources, useful practices and statistical data shows that there are gaps in the methods pertaining to the issues related to the methods of perfecting the management of business processes within medical institutions. The main objective of this paper is: To present the current state of the management of processes crucial for the healthcare institution and also to prove the usefulness of software tools for perfecting business processes in order to improve their management. Based on this, proposals may be made in order to improve the management of business processes within the healthcare institution. The subject of this paper is the Urology Clinic as part of the management structure of a University Hospital. The data are analysed both in summary and in groups to which comparative analysis is applied. Together with the analysis performed on the study results, comparative analysis is also applied to the results provided prior to the introduction of the Balanced Scorecard (BSc) by the healthcare institution. The comparative analysis is used to find relationships which characterise the applicability of adapted methodology for perfecting the management of business processes through the Balanced Scorecard for the efficiency within the healthcare institution.

This chapter describes literature about IT investments, and the impact of IT on the performance of a firm. The reason for this study is that effects of IT standards, which are an integral part of IT, will be investigated in several case studies. Supporting the case study analysis, a method will be adopted that is used to assess business performance from IT in general. Business performance in general can be assessed from different angles, such as financial performance, process performance and transaction performance. Literature from various disciplines shows the complexity of and the disagreement as regards measurement and description of business performance. However, it is generally accepted that these impacts can be assessed best at the intermediate level: that of business processes. After the introduction, literature dealing with IT value and business performance will be discussed. Then a specific method, the Balanced Scorecard, will be dealt with and an explanation is given why we used it in this research. This chapter concludes with a look at the concept of flexibility, as part of business performance, and what it means in relation to IT standards.

This article investigates the post-adoption impacts of business intelligence (BI) systems on organisational performance of Ghanaian banks through the lens of the balanced scorecard. It also examines if time-since-adoption moderates the hypothesized relationship between BI systems adoption and the banks' organizational performance. A survey data of 130 Ghanaian bank officials was analysed through a partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) approach to examine the relationship among the study constructs. The results indicated that BI Systems indeed impacted significantly on Ghanaian banks' organisational performance by improving employee learning and growth, enhancing their internal business processes and improving their customer management performances. Nonetheless, BI Systems did not have a direct significant effect on the banks financial performance. Moreover, the findings show that there is no significant difference between early-adopters and late-adopters in terms of BI Systems impacts on the banks' organisational performance. Other implications are also discussed.

Nowadays, managers recognize the impact that measures have in performance. The balanced scorecard is a new tool that complements traditional measures of business unit performance. The scorecard contains a diverse set of performance measures, including financial performance, customer relations, internal business processes, and learning and growth.The Balanced Scorecard provides leaders with a process to describe strategy – both what the organization wants to accomplish and how it intends to realize its strategic outcomes. Taking all the objectives and measures together into a strategy map of cause-and-effect relationship across the four perspectives provides a comprehensive picture of the organization’s value creating activities.The analysis developed in this paper aims is to examine the critical areas of an industrial system as product, process, customer and market perspective. The study will provide managers four different perspective from which to choose measures: from traditional financial indicators, to measures for improving customer satisfaction, internal processes and innovation and improvement activities, focusing on the company’s current and future success.
