背景:在远程信息处理基础设施的背景下,新的数据使用法规,以及人工智能不断增长的潜力,云计算在推动德国医院行业的数字化方面发挥着关键作用。
方法:在这种背景下,该研究旨在开发和验证评估德国医院云就绪性的量表。它使用TPOM(技术,人民,组织,宏观环境)框架,创建评分系统。进行了一项涉及德国医院110名首席信息官(CIO)的调查,然后进行探索性因素分析和可靠性测试,以细化项目,导致最后一组30个项目。
结果:分析证实了统计稳健性,并确定了有助于云就绪的关键因素。这些包括“技术”维度中的IT安全性,合作研究和接受需要在“人”维度中提供高质量数据,“组织”维度中IT资源的可扩展性,和“宏环境”维度中的法律方面。宏观环境维度显得特别稳定,强调监管合规在医疗保健领域的关键作用。
结论:研究结果表明,德国医院的云准备程度在一定程度上,在所有四个方面都有改进的潜力。系统地,法律要求和具有挑战性的政治环境是CIOs最关心的问题,影响他们的云就绪性。
BACKGROUND: In the context of the telematics infrastructure, new data usage regulations, and the growing potential of artificial intelligence, cloud computing plays a key role in driving the digitalization in the German hospital sector.
METHODS: Against this background, the study aims to develop and validate a scale for assessing the cloud readiness of German hospitals. It uses the TPOM (Technology, People, Organization, Macro-Environment) framework to create a scoring system. A survey involving 110 Chief Information Officers (CIOs) from German hospitals was conducted, followed by an exploratory factor analysis and reliability testing to refine the items, resulting in a final set of 30 items.
RESULTS: The analysis confirmed the statistical robustness and identified key factors contributing to cloud readiness. These include IT security in the dimension \"technology\", collaborative research and acceptance for the need to make high quality data available in the dimension \"people\", scalability of IT resources in the dimension \"organization\", and legal aspects in the dimension \"macroenvironment\". The macroenvironment dimension emerged as particularly stable, highlighting the critical role of regulatory compliance in the healthcare sector.
CONCLUSIONS: The findings suggest a certain degree of cloud readiness among German hospitals, with potential for improvement in all four dimensions. Systemically, legal requirements and a challenging political environment are top concerns for CIOs, impacting their cloud readiness.
