title: Patient care systems. Point-of-care revolution.
abstract: Interest in bedside information systems continues steadily, and purchasers now view point-of-care systems as a "when" and not an "if" acquisition, according to a comparison of three Computers in Healthcare surveys on this technology. Yet, cost justification and return on investment still wave cautionary flags that keep growth in this market fairly slow. Support from nursing executives will become a key success factor.
