All connected: infrastructure is path to IS growth
Article Abstract:
Hospitals often have problems identifying the benefits of a good information system (IS). Hospital Manager Allen Johnson and his staff installed an information system at their 901-bed facility that cost about $3.5 million and connected the entire two-hospital complex with the use of twisted-pair wiring, laser and fiber-optic cable. The IS system is able to carry text, data, voice and image transmissions.

The clinical connection: hospitals work to design information systems that physicians will use
Article Abstract:
Hospitals are beginning to implement computer systems to keep patient records. For example, at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix, AZ, the intensive care unit and two medical/surgical units are using systems that were chosen with physician input. Ideally, computer systems should prompt physicians to remember elements of the record but not essentially write the record for them.
