Thesis (MTech (Information Technology))--Peninsula Technikon, Cape Town, 2005 / The overall objective of this study is to identify the importance of culture in the
implementation of Information systems and how output influences the success of a
system.
• The first objective is to assess the organizational culture in each hospital in terms of
one of the dimensions of culture on Hofstede's checklist, namely power distance.
• The second objective is to determine whether the speed with which a HIS was
implemented was a success at the two academic hospitals in the Western Cape
using the reduction of the level of backlog (paper based patient registration records)
as a measure of implementation progress.
