Abstract: Now that cooperation, flexibility and adaptability are considered increasingly important, hospitals need to give up traditional and hierarchical styles of using information management and adopt more open and participative styles. Gender has been demonstrated to be a key variable in the ways by which managers lead and manage organizations. This study analyzes differences between male and female managers in the use of management information systems. The results show that the introduction of women in management posts helps hospitals to use management information systems in a more interactive and participative way.
