In extremely complex and sophisticated health Organizations such as Hospitals, where there is a demand for coordinating and modernizing many and various activities, the existence of effective communication networks as well as the introduction and proper development of information technology constitute today the most important conditions for a successful exercise of administration in all the wider areas of the Organization.
