Abstract: Abstract Despite the fact that Information Systems (IS) in hospitals increase the organizational value and performance, several Information Technology (IT) investments fail, due to the lack of strategic development. A strategic plan should include the strategy of healthcare organization or strategic aims the resulting information management strategies, the existing state of Hospital Information Systems (HIS), and an evaluation on how far the existing IS align. Previous researches have examined HIS frameworks for planning and success, and HIS success factors, but they do not provide an integration of strategic planning with the HIS development. The purpose of this paper is to present a state of the art of knowledge about strategic planning and success of HIS with a focus on the challenges in developing HIS. The findings show that there are a number of important issues that lead to inefficiencies in the current implementation practice.
