There are several factors pointed out by a consultant’s report that might affect the activities of PI; computer workstations are extensively used across the organization, but there are several departments that have very old computer workstations to offer a sufficient platform for the new software versions that would efficiently support the responsibilities of departmental reporting. The organizational also lacks an extensive local-area network. Nevertheless, software versions and applications are not standardizes throughout the organization; so that members of various departments in the organization cannot be in a position of sharing information and data in electronic formats. However, this forces organizational members to reproduce report generation efforts when the reports consist of the same data. This lack of a local-area network together with an administrative database that is accessible to the managers of department implies that reports should be prepared in the generating department, output on the paper and again input in the administrative departments to be used in the administrative applications.

Since PI activities are information intensive, we find that the healthcare organizations should take into consideration the management of information resources for the purpose of supporting improvements. Definitely, the organization would avail the common applications that are business-oriented, like word-processing software and spread-sheets, together with statistical analysis as well as presentation packages. Most organizations avail information all through the organization through archive clinical information system data and intranets undyingly in data repositories. However, in this manner, clinical data are availed for the PI activities. The information resources must also allow access to the national comparative data collections for the organizations that are recognized by the Joint Commission or taking part in Medicaid programs of federal Medicine.
