Role of CIO
1. What is the role of CIO in this organisation? (Brief)
The CIO is responsible for Information Communications and Technology at the RAH as well as
across all SA Health. The CIO is part of the executive suite and provides leadership and
oversight to health in South Australia (Le Blanc, 2017).
The CIO leads all the ICT staff and is responsible for all technology implementations in health,
not just for the RAH.
2. How did this role evolve in this organisation over the years? (Brief) Example: Was the
role CIO from the beginning, or did it start from a small MIS manager role?
Bill Le Blanc has been CIO for SA Health since the end of 2013 (Nott, G). In 2014/15, Bill Le
Blanc held the position of eHealth Systems Executive Director and reporting to the Deputy Chief
Executive of Finance and Corporate Services (SA Health, 2015). During his time in this role
(circa 2012) a complete reform of IT structure for hospitals in South Australia occurred, where
prior to this each hospital had its own IT departments with their own staff trying to provide its
hospital with entire ICT solutions. The reform meant that all ICT was now centralised and
managed/controlled by the CIO at the time (Lee, 2012).
Note that this means the RAH does not have its own CIO, as with the rest of the C-suite and
governing body, they are responsible for more than just the RAH facility.
3. What does the top-management of organization expect from IT / IS? (Explain)
Technology that enables the business, supports the stakeholders, aligns with the Strategic Vision
of RAH and SA Health, and works towards the improving the overall quality of health and health
services across the hospital.
4. In your opinion, is the CIO influential in this organisation? How much? (Explain) Hint:
look at how much has IT contributed to the business during the past few years.
The current CIO has been most influential in this organisation. It is evident as originally, he was
responsible for the e-Health implementation and was a director during that program, however
was then promoted the CIO after the merging of IT for SA Health. This indicates that he must
have placed a pivotal role at SA Health during that time. Furthermore, the need for technology in
medicine and hospitals has grown exponentially. The innovation at the new RAH is leading the
way, with robotics, medical imaging, and other important technologies as well as securely
Page 16 of 31

storing patient records, medical prescription, test results, etc. there is a high importance on the
accuracy, speed and quality of information and how it is presented.
5. In your opinion, has IS/IT performed good in view of the ‘expectations’? How much?
(Explain) Hint: look at how much has IT contributed to the business during the past few
years.
As the hospital has only just been opened, and much of the technology is innovative and new,
there are teething issues and change management issues with acceptance of change. There will
always be problems whilst new technologies and processes are being used for the first time,
particularly in a new building. The RAH has outsources many of its services and therefore
reliance on other companies, whilst transferring some risk, does come with risk of not being able
to clearly control some outcomes. I believe given the circumstances that they have performed
well.
Overall, RAH is referred to as the most technological advanced hospital in Australia, with many
automated systems such as Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs), Automated Pharmacy
Distribution Systems and Cabinets to help provide efficient and quicker processing of patients.
6. In your opinion, what important deliveries or functions have IT/IS missed out in
this organisation? What are the ‘perceived’ weaknesses of IT/IS in this organisation?
There has been some controversy regarding the Electronic Patient Administration System
(EPAS) which was implemented years earlier and has been adopted at the new RAH. There were
complaints by doctors in 2016 that the system was clunky and hard to use (Fedorowytsch, 2016),
and further controversy around delays of the new RAH build to cover up its failings. This is not
specific to the RAH IT Strategy, but as the IT is consolidated over SA Health, the importance of
offering a sound, secure and reliable patient records system is paramount to the RAH delivery of
services.
7. In your opinion, what IT/IS, in general and CIO in specific, can do to improve the
situation?
Review the IT Outsourcing policies and processes and ensure the RAH has a sound strategy in
place to ensure expectations from vendors are agreed on and action can be taken to rectify any
issues swiftly and effectively without impacting the patient care.
Ensure to keep innovating, however with thorough testing and security in place due to critical,
often life-threatening nature of health systems.
Invest in improvement or redevelopment of the EPAS to ensure trust between patient and doctors
can be regained.

Data strategy to ensure quality capture and analysis of data. The past is the best predictor of the
future and data analytics and business intelligence could enable improvements in capacity
planning, resource utilization etc. across the RAH and other hospitals for the overall
improvements in provisions of care to patients.
8. What are the important challenges and risks in your proposed improvement actions?
What are the resolutions or mitigations of those challenges or risks? (Explain) Looking at
your proposal from the previous question and current state of the business, what will be
the challenges, risks or difficulties to implement your ideas?
Data Strategy:
A solid data strategy is required to ensure that the correct data is collected and in a manner, that
is useful for analysis, and stored so that it is extremely secure but easily integrated with various
systems/applications. The risk here is that data is not collected properly could cause invalid data
analysis and decisions made on this data could be incorrect. Again, given this the RAH is
responsible for health at worst the risk is extreme/life threatening. At best, the risk is a waste of
valuable resources (people, time and money) which could be better served elsewhere.
Furthermore, security of data storage is paramount, as breaches exposing patient information or
sensitive hospital information could result in privacy breaches or malicious attacks.
EPAS and Critical eHealth System Improvement:
eHealth and the electronic patient records are critical to the efficient processing and
service of patients and building trust between health services, the providers of care and the
patients. Failure can result in extreme risks being life threatening if incorrect information is
given out, or even if delays in care result in that or other patients not getting prompt care. Given
the history of mistrust and issues with the EPAS, a sound strategy to improve this and develop
other systems to support critical operations in eHealth are imperative.
A robust digital strategy could encompass the improvement to the eHealth Systems including
building of a new and future proofed digital platform that will support all future initiatives as
they come about.

IT/IS Strategy
IT Strategy
Data Strategy
The main point of emphasis when relating to the concept of the data processing is to collect,
present and justify the use of data. This can directly help in improving the standard of the
working of the organisation and better service to the patients. The data can be very important
part of the overall working of the organisation.
Digital Strategy
The strategy which is involved in the concept of the digital strategy mainly states the
improvement and the factor related to the health care of the patients, doctor and the health care
professional through the digital transformation.
Proposed Strategy relating to data and digital strategy
Big data and analytics have majorly climbed the top of the sector which are related to the
business. Together the concept promises to transform the way any organisation do business and
their approach towards reaching the goal. some of the points that should be covered in the
concept are:
 Choose the data which is right: The concept of the data and modelling have changed
considerable in few years. The volume of data which is generated is growing up in a huge
amount, the control of the data is very much needed in order to achieve standards in
which the data is secure and are received when needed.
 Building up of model: The concept of data is very much important and competitive
advantage. Most importantly the most effective approach is to build a model which
mainly starts not with the data only but also identifying an opportunity which is related to
the business and determining the model that can directly improve the performance.
 Transform the company’s capability: The main problem which arise in the concept of the
transformation is the mismatch between the concept of the organisations existing culture
and the capability and the capabilities and the emerging tactics. In order to comprehend
the aspect, the big data requires throughout change of the organisations and three action
area of the action that can get the goal of the organisation (Wang, Zhang and Dudley
2016)
Page 19 of 31

Importance of proposed Strategy
 Cost saving: Some of the tools like Hadoop and the cloud based analytics can
bring about major advantages when encountering huge amount of data.
 Time reduction: The high speed of the tools for example Hadoop and the memory
analytics can easily identify new data which helps business analyzing data
immediately and make quick decisions which is based upon learning
 Control Reputation Online: Big data tools can directly implement sentiment
analysis. Therefore, the business body can get feedback from the customer which
can help in improving the business standard (Schmitt et al. 2016)
3Vs
 Volume: the concept can observe and track the data from the various source
of the data. In this way, the tracking concept of the data is very much
applicable and be easily achieved.
 Velocity: The data stream is very much high and must be dealt according to
time. This mainly includes the transaction of the business, social media and
the information from the aspect of machine to machine or the data sensor.
 Variety: The data can come in many formats numeric in the traditional data
base. The support format of the data can be audio, video, email and stock
ticker (Horrocks et al. 2017).

Conclusion
The RAH could benefit from an IT Strategy which looks to the future and continues to innovate
and find better, more secure and more efficient ways of doing things to ultimately provide better
health care to our patients and be a leader in the community.
A digital strategy will ensure we look at more efficient ways of serving our clinicans and our
community in a way that they would like to work.
A data strategy will ensure that we are using the vast amount of data that is available to the RAH
in a beneficial way. We can use this data to look at what we have previously done, and using that
knowledge what we can do better to serve our community, including decrease waiting times,
particularly for emergency health and surgery wait lists.
Overall, the IT department at the RAH should continue to operate in a highly innovative way,
being a technology leader in health and supporting the clinicians and community to provide the
best healthcare possible.
