Governance of Service-Oriented Architecture in a Healthcare Organization: A Case Study
Konstantinos Koumaditis · Journal of Information Technology Case and Application Research · 2015
The article introduces a service-oriented architecture (SOA) governance framework for successful implementation in a healthcare organization. The proposed framework, based on a rigorous literature review, proposes nine governance elements that should be considered during the SOA implementation process. This proposal aims to pinpoint attributes and guidelines for each element required to successfully govern SOA and tackle longstanding healthcare information systems (HIS) implementation challenges. The framework was tested in a healthcare organization and valuable insights are presented herein. The intended use of this framework is as a decision-supporting tool for SOA governance in a healthcare setting.
