Using a descriptive model of change when implementing large scale clinical information systems to identify priorities for further research.

In this paper we identify domains for research based on a model that describes the stages of change when designing and implementing large scale information and communication technology throughout a healthcare organization. We use the model in the case of the electronic patient record systems. We suggest that the research agenda should include approaches from the social and business sciences.

Getting IT into shape--external factors effecting the potential benefits from health informatics.

The introduction of a computer system will not always result in the expected outcomes. Extensive planning must be carried out for a new technological environment, changes in organisational practices and human reorientation. In addition to the specific requirements for the implementation of a particular application system there are more general issues to be considered. There are a number of organisational, technical and human factors which are thought to have affected demands for informatics support to healthcare and to have affected the level of benefits that can accrue from its operation in the healthcare sector of today. Some of the catalysts and inhibitors (positive and negative factors) can be recognised in advance of any specific implementation and the potential risk from their effects can be minimised. This paper considers some of the identified factors and how they are being addressed across Europe.

Evaluating large scale health information systems: from practice towards theory.

With the introduction of large scale health information systems which are incrementally developed from legacy systems, evaluators are faced with difficult methodological and practical problems. Some of the problems involved in multidisciplinary multi-method evaluations care discussed. It is argued that the development of a framework for evaluation is necessary in order to successfully plan an evaluation, understand the implications of the results and make future predictions based upon them. Some suggestions for arriving at such a framework are put forward.

Organizational issues in health informatics: a model approach.

In this paper, we present a model that describes the stages of the implementation of an information system in a health care organization. The model offers no explanation of the implementation process but rather describes in a cyclic order the domains that are relevant when implementing a system. The model offers thus an opportunity to identify gaps in our knowledge and understanding of implementation processes and provides also the conceptual basis for a higher education course of health informatics that is focusing on organizational change and the pivotal role of information and communication technology.

Toward an informatics research agenda: key people and organizational issues.

As we have advanced in medical informatics and created many impressive innovations, we also have learned that technologic developments are not sufficient to bring the value of computer and information technologies to health care systems. This paper proposes a model for improving how we develop and deploy information technology. The authors focus on trends in people, organizational, and social issues (POI/OSI), which are becoming more complex as both health care institutions and information technologies are changing rapidly. They outline key issues and suggest high-priority research areas. One dimension of the model concerns different organizational levels at which informatics applications are used. The other dimension draws on social science disciplines for their approaches to studying implications of POI/OSI in informatics. By drawing on a wide variety of research approaches and asking questions based in social science disciplines, the authors propose a research agenda for high-priority issues, so that the challenges they see ahead for informatics may be met better.
