Structural Challenges Outdated or inadequate software and hardware systems. Possibility of data loss due to technical limitations. Slow software response speeds compared to user needs. Usability problems and repetitive, time-consuming documentation. Insufficient technical support and resource constraints. Frequent system malfunctions (e.g., system hanging).  Challenges in Implementing IT Challenges Manpower Challenges Individual Factors: ⚬ Lack of motivation and insufficient training among users. Interpersonal Factors: ⚬ Weak communication among staff. Managerial Factors: ⚬ Lack of proper equipment and training resources. Cultural Factors: ⚬ Resistance to adopting a culture of using IS.  Challenges in Implementing IT Challenges Financial/Support Challenges High costs of IS implementation and maintenance. Lack of financial resources for sustaining IS operations. Insufficient tools and harmonized structures for data access. Decrease in financial efficiency due to implementation challenges. Poor data quality resulting from resource constraints.  Challenges in Implementing IT Challenges Security Challenges Inadequate IT infrastructure for data protection. Concerns over privacy and legal compliance. Lack of safeguards to ensure data security and patient safety. Issues with data accuracy and security discrepancies.  Challenges in Implementing IT Challenges Process Challenges Implementation Challenges: ⚬ Resistance to adopting new technologies among users. Managerial Challenges: ⚬ Leadership instability affecting IS processes. Technological Challenges: ⚬ Insufficient system functionality, guides, and usability standards. Development and Evaluation: ⚬ Limited user participation during system development.  Challenges in Implementing IT Challenges Organizational Challenges Inadequate training provided to system users. Lack of user involvement in system design and customization. Poor management structures for IS processes. Limited interoperability between different systems. High costs associated with IS adoption and integration. solutions? SOLUTIONS TO CHALLENGES Strategic Planning and Implementation Promoting a Positive Culture User-Centered Design and Training Continuous Evaluation and Improvement Encouraging Knowledge Sharing Ensuring Data Security and Privacy Providing Adequate Resources and Support Addressing User Resistance End of lecture.
