Abstract:
The study examined the influence of enterprise alignment adoption strategies on quality healthcare in tertiary care in south-south Nigeria. A survey research design was used for the study. Seven hundred seventy-three (773) copies of a questionnaire were administered, out of which 574 were found usable, amounting to 73.9%. Statistical tools, including simple percentages, frequency tables, mean, estimated regression model and Pearson's correlation coefficient analysis, were employed for data analysis using Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 24. The study found that respondents' assessment of quality healthcare was high. Respondents rated enterprise alignment as high. The results also revealed a significant influence between enterprise alignment and quality. Based on the findings, the researcher recommends that healthcare organisations adequately define their strategy, align infrastructures with strategy, and regularly conduct gap analysis to identify and mitigate problems early.
