title: Preparing for an ICU bedside computer.
abstract: Preparing the nursing staff is essential when implementing bedside computers. Realistically, all staff may not be trained before the clinical information system (CIS) goes "live," but resource personnel and the vendor can alleviate stressors associated with the change. Promoting the system early is vital to gain interest and support.
