14 Reference Models Reference Model ITIL Healthcare Inhalte IT organizations currently spend around 80% of their budget purely on keeping systems up and running. This leaves little scope for process innovation or for responding to the ever increasing demands to align IT with the value chain. One solution is to systematically reorganize IT processes in a process- and service-oriented manner and ensure that resources are allocated with maximum efficiency. These objectives lie at the heart of the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL), an industry-independent set of guidelines for customer-focused alignment and standardization of IT processes that leverages existing best practices. IDS Scheer has developed an reference model based on ITIL V3 to document, analyze, and implement IT processes. For companies wanting to align their IT processes with ITIL, ITIL offers a customizable graphical reference model and user-friendly modeling and analysis environment. The ITIL reference model thus helps organizations to synchronize their IT systems with their business needs fast and at low cost. Healthcare provides healthcare companies and institutions with a fast and effective way to get started with business process optimization, based on an database containing comprehensive best practice experience from a host of healthcare projects. Instead of starting their modeling from scratch, organizations can leverage proven results, regardless of whether the processes involve complex treatments or interactions across institutional boundaries. Version Based on ITIL version 3 14 WHITE PAPER PLATFORM
