title: Evaluating the impact of health care information systems.
abstract: Evaluating the impact of computer-based medical information systems requires not only an understanding of computer technology but also an understanding of complex social and behavioral processes. This essay discusses the need for evaluation of health care information systems, a set of evaluation questions based on assumptions about the impact of technology on organizations, and recommendations for reducing barriers to the implementation of health care information systems.
