Compare And Contrast The Four Levels Of Health Information Services

The Health information services (HIS) department leaders use four different levels of achieving

Their organizational goals. These four levels are re-engineering, restructuring, work re-design, and

Job re-design. Each level is used in a specific way to improve both employee and job performances.

The First level is re-engineering. Re-engineering is used by the leaders to rethink aspects about

The business and its systems. This level helps to determine what needs to be improved in terms of

Work and employee progress, it also helps leaders to correct any errors they might come across.
