DATA CENTRALIZATION WITHIN A DECREASING BUDGET
Due to the global economic downturn and ever-shrinking Government budget allocations, many public organizations are forced to search for new operating efficiencies and cost reduction strategies. In April 2007, the Belfast Trust assumed responsibility for six Northern Ireland hospital and community trusts. The principal objectives of this centralization strategy were to provide safe, efficient, and modernized patient care; meet the UK Government's targets on patient access to treatment and care; and to balance the books.
