Abstract

The main aim of this chapter is to evaluate a Grid technology (GT) for Archive Solutions in terms of relevant features for Health Care Organizations (HCOs), and with particular attention to technical and organizational issues. The method used was a case study approach that was conducted during the months of March, April, and May 2011, applying a mix of random sampling (randomly selected interviewees from our directory) and “snowball” sampling (contacting interviewees through leads). The research shows that the introduction of grid technologies in HCOs maybe is still premature. However, a grid solution unquestionably led to some important benefits, so the author suggests a “progressive and gradual approach” to its implementation, aiming for further research on this topic.
