A preliminary conceptual framework for the design, development, and use of client-oriented information systems in health.

Client-oriented information systems (COIS) in the health care arena are defined and discussed. The antecedents of these systems, as well as current examples of the systems, are described. Prior studies in this area suggest content for COIS but demonstrate lack of a conceptual framework to guide the design, development, adoption, and use of these systems. The purpose of the paper is to suggest a preliminary conceptual framework for future study of COIS that draws upon concepts from the field of management information systems.

Computer-based information systems models. Perspectives for nursing.

A synthesis of theories from the management information systems (MIS) field provided the conceptual framework to describe how to design and develop effective computer-based information systems. An analysis of activities and interviews with nurse managers in a tertiary care medical center provided the basis for describing five major nursing department functions and the information requirements arising from those functions. The MIS framework was applied to the nursing department information requirements in order to derive MNIS, a normative model of a nursing information system, which was then used to "bench mark" the current status of commercially available nursing information systems. The researchers compared the MNIS with 28 nursing information systems that vendors are currently developing or marketing. The comparison revealed large gaps between nursing department needs and vendor-provided solutions.
