Abstract

In the age of digitalization, enterprises, such as hospitals, have to be able to quickly react on new treatment patterns. The enterprise architecture management as a holistic view concept concerning an enterprises’ IT infrastructure addresses such challenges, as the aim of the procedure is to foster the business-it-alignment. Considering, that analyzing IT infrastructures and respectively the maturity of them in hospitals is very complex for managers and stakeholders, an overview about the conducted research within this area is necessary. Therefore, this research provides a systematic literature review to represent an integral sight about relevant publications regarding the enterprise architecture management in hospitals.
