Systems Development And Key Success Factors In Large Scale Telemedicine Projects: Preliminary Findings Of A Post-Conflict Country Case Study

Information technologies are a form of automation and control system which can provide the basis for important economic activity in unstable regions, such as post-conflict countries. The biggest risk in IT development is failure of the project. From the limited studies that have been conducted it has been found that the success of implementation and continued use of IT in Developing countries is mixed. This paper uses grounded theory method to explore the success factors of a telemedical center in a developing, post war region, and sets out the preliminary findings of open ended and semi-structured interviews. Key factors are placed in categories and discussed and preliminary conclusions drawn.
