title: Implementing a computer software system.
abstract: A great deal of time and energy goes into deciding what software computer system to purchase for the nursing department. Too often following purchase, we think our work is over, when in reality, the most critical phase is starting--installing the system. This article discusses critical responsibilities of both nurse administrators and installers during implementation of the system.
