Market model addresses hospitals' need for decision support.
A Decision Support System should be approached, not as "starting over," but as a natural extension of the design and development of a hospital's current HIS. Integrated, real-time HISs generate reams of information that, when combined with relevant external data, provide the essential information base for a hospital DDS. The Travenol Market Model is discussed as an example of a DSS specific to hospital needs.
