title: Selecting and implementing a computerized severity of illness system.
abstract: Identifying all the variables may be a formidable task. However, doing so ensures accuracy in selecting and implementing an appropriate product. A task checklist is an essential tool in making comparisons so that the vendor you select is suited to your needs. Any methodology can be chosen, but it is important to think of an SOI system as a tool and not the answer to solving quality assurance problems.
