title: Physicians play key role in information systems planning.
abstract: Healthcare executives struggle with schemes to encourage their institution's affiliated physicians to "buy" into the information systems master plan. By involving physicians initially as members of an MIS Executive Committee, one tertiary-care medical center in Pennsylvania promoted not only "buy-in," but stimulated physician curiosity, active use and even demands about future directions of IS at the medical center.
