title: Defining information requirements using holistic models: introduction to a case study.
abstract: If older patients are to use the information superhighway, their ability and interest in using computers for clinical information exchange must be determined. Earlier discharge may alter the type of information that patients and families need to cope with recovery. The Gassert Model for Defining Information System Requirements for Nursing has been adapted to identify needed discharge information. Information requirements will be used to develop mobile computing technology for patients to use during recovery from cardiac surgery.
