eSPACE Programme governance
Regional IS portfolio
Capital IS investment in Midland region is informed by and informs the annual capital planning and budgeting processes at each DHB, and for the region. With a move towards IaaS and SaaS type solutions, and a range of capitalisation policies across the region, the portfolio is now updated to include potential non-capital investment which is still required to align to approved governance structures.
Requests for IS investment are evaluated based on business priority, affordability and achievability via agreed processes and governance structures. See diagram below.
Approved business cases are delivered through regional programmes and projects. Programme and project teams are formed in HealthShare through permanent appointments or DHB staff secondments. A programme approach is used to ensure a focus on benefits and business case delivery for the eSPACE components, while projects deliver the discrete service components that programmes require.
