title: Beyond cost benefit: an assessment approach for the '90s.
abstract: A new evaluation approach is needed to evaluate clinical and management applications of H.I.S.-- where the major benefits may not be related to labor savings. New evaluation approaches also need to reflect a "bottom line" business orientation. We will describe an evaluation approach which is based on TQM concepts and meets both these criteria and incorporates benefits realization into the evaluation process.
