Clinical Information Systems: Overcoming Adverse Consequences
This Book helps fledgling organizations better prepare for the inevitable challenges and obstacles they will face upon the implementation of complex, state-of-the-art clinical information systems, such as electronic medical records. Based on the research and findings from the Provider Order Entry Team from the Oregon Health & Science University, this book discusses the nine categories of unintended adverse consequences that occurred at many of the leading medical centers during their implementation and maintenance of a state-of-the-art clinical information system. It goes on to present the best practices they identified to help organizations overcome these obstacles.
