Evaluation of a Maturity Model for IT Dependability in Emergency Management

Weyns, Kim LU and Höst, Martin LU (2012) In International Journal of Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management 4(1). p.47-63
Abstract
The IDEM3 maturity model is a process improvement framework that can be used by an organisation to assess

and improve their IT dependability management processes. The framework focuses on the coordination of IT

management and safety management within an organisation. In this paper, an evaluation plan for the maturity

model is presented to evaluate its applicability, assessment accuracy, and practical value. Based on this plan,

two evaluations were carried out in two case studies at two Swedish hospitals. The evaluations indicate that

the IDEM3 maturity model can be a valuable tool for an organisation to quickly identify the main strengths

and weaknesses of the organisation in the field... (More)

a strong argument for a further evaluation based on the developed evaluation plan. (Less)
