title: The role of computerized information systems in quality assurance in hospital social work departments.
abstract: Computerized information systems can be valuable tools in the total quality assurance program of hospital social work departments. This paper presents a matrix of potential roles for the information system at various levels of assessment-structural, process, and outcome. It then illustrates these roles, based on examples from a country-wide information system developed for hospital social work departments in Israel.
