title: Participative HIS development: an approach and a case study.
abstract: User participation in HIS development is considered essential for achieving systems implementation success. Realizing a participative HIS development, where users are full members of the development team, requires not only choosing an appropriate methodology but also organizing the participation process in a way that is tailored to the particular situation in order to achieve the desired results. A general approach to this problem is presented in this paper. An application of the approach to the particular context of a Greek hospital is described.
