“…The hierarchical system of the WCS to measure the performance of the organisation in terms of its clinical information logistics capacity [18] aims at providing this information balance. This study translated the WCS system into a three-dimensional multi-level model to visualise the benchmarking results at all levels.…”

“…In order for benchmarks to grasp the essence of HIT supported processes, the construct clinical information logistics has been proposed and targeted by benchmarks [17] . Clinical information logistics was measured by the workflow composite score (WCS) [18] , which represented the most aggregated level within a hierarchical scoring system of single IT features (raw indicators), sub scores and finally the WCS. Due to its novelty, the WCS system has not been presented in an appropriate graphical form.…”

Background: Clinical information logistics is the backbone of care workflows inside and outside of hospitals. Due to the great potential of health IT to support clinical processes its contribution needs to be regularly monitored and governed. IT benchmarks are a well-known instrument to optimise the availability and use of IT by guiding the decision making process. The aim of this study was to translate IT benchmarking results that were grounded on a hierarchical workflow scoring system into an appropriate visualisation concept. Methods:To this end, a three-dimensional multi-level model was developed, which allowed the decomposition of the highly aggregated workflow composite score into score views for the individual clinical workflows concerned and for the descriptors of these workflows. Furthermore this multi-level model helped to break down the score views into single and multiple indicator views. Results:The results could be visualised per hospital in comparison to the results of organisations of similar size and ownership (peer reference groups) and in comparison to different types of innovation adopters. The multi-level model was implemented in a benchmark of 199 hospitals and evaluated by the chief information officers. The evaluation resulted in high ratings for the comprehensibility of the different types of views of the scores and indicators. Conclusions:The implementation of the multi-level model in a large benchmark of hospitals proved to be feasible and useful in terms of the overall structure and the different indicator views. There seems to be a preference for less complex and familiar views.

“…Aber nicht nur die Frage ob, sondern auch in welcher Art und Weise IT-Funktionen und elektronische Patientendaten in den Einrichtungen zur Verfügung gestellt werden, ist für eine umfassende Abbildung der IT-Durchdringung von Krankenhäusern bedeutsam. Entsprechend werden in den Umfragen ein eindimensionales Geschehen noch ist es eindimensional messbar (Hübner 2015). Aufgrund dieser Besonderheiten ist Digitalisierung im Gesundheitswesen und insbesondere in Krankenhäusern nur schwer vergleichbar mit der Digitalisierung in anderen Branchen.…”

“…3.2 werden die Workflow-Composite-Score-Werte der befragten Krankenhäuser aus dem Jahr 2017 dargestellt. Wie auch in den vergangenen WCS-Erhebungen (Liebe et al 2015) Ausgehend von diesen noch sehr hoch aggregierten Kennzahlen können mithilfe der hierarchischen WCS-Struktur konkrete Digitalisierungspotenziale in den Krankenhäusern identifiziert werden.…”
