Future-proof IT – architecture management and business capability mapping as the foundation for modernizing hospital IT
Industry: Healthcare | Period: 3 months | Team size: 2 consultants
Digitalization is not stopping at the healthcare sector either: the IT landscape of hospital networks is becoming increasingly complex, the requirements of the specialist departments are rising and the list of applications used is constantly growing. Without a clear architectural vision, transparency is in danger of dwindling, costs and response times are increasing and synergies remain unused. The aim is to align the digital infrastructure in such a way that it supports the core competencies of the clinics, promotes economic efficiency and ultimately measurably increases patient satisfaction. A central challenge is to establish a common technical basis across the locations that serves as the basis for stringent, future-proof optimization. With the introduction of holistic architecture management (AM) and the creation of a business capability map, our experienced consulting team has created a strategic foundation that significantly promotes transparency, efficiency and sustainable development within the hospital network.
Challenge: Complexity and lack of transparency as an obstacle to growth in digital transformation
- Fragmented IT landscape:
The variety of systems and applications creates redundant processes and increases costs and maintenance effort, which puts a strain on profitability. - Lack of transparency:
Lack of an overview of the application landscape makes optimization measures difficult and hinders innovation in the healthcare sector. - Lack of common ground:
Different perceptions of core competencies lead to misunderstandings, coordination problems and ineffective synergies between specialist departments and IT. - Increasing complexity:
Advancing digitalization is bringing with it more and more IT support, making processes, data and systems increasingly interlinked and difficult to control. - Difficult collaboration:
Weak integration between clinics and IT makes cross-departmental projects and the realization of common goals more difficult.
- Fragmented IT landscape:

Impact At Launch: Starting signal for the networked hospital future
- Clear understanding of core competencies: Coordinated definitions, including a glossary as a standard for future projects, create a common professional framework for management and innovation in the healthcare sector.
- Transparency across the IT landscape: A structured business capability map and analysis of the application landscape create a comprehensive overview of core medical areas.
- Sound decision-making basis for architecture initiatives: The basis created enables targeted, fact-based planning for further IT and digitalization measures.
- More efficient coordination between the clinic and IT: Architecture management systematically records and prioritizes requirements and translates them into planning - for close and productive collaboration.
- Starting point for sustainable development: The jointly developed framework enables the hospital group to initiate future projects faster, more coherently and in a more targeted manner and to implement innovations sustainably - with a clear focus on the future.
Conclusion: Structure as a driver for digital transformation in the hospital network
The development of a coordinated business capability map has enabled the hospital group to clearly define its competencies and make the complex IT landscape comprehensively transparent for the first time. This created the decisive prerequisites for optimizing profitability, innovative strength and patient satisfaction. Our methodical and partnership-based approach not only delivers short-term results, but also establishes a sustainable framework for continuous further development and successful IT management. The key to sustainable success lies in the combination of interdisciplinary understanding, structured analysis of data and consistent implementation.
