Clinical information systems in the academic medical center.
Introducing new clinical information systems at an academic medical center presents unique challenges related to: Academic infrastructure. Diversity. Communication. The purpose of this article is to describe these special challenges and strategies used at the University of Michigan Medical Center (UMMC) in response. After numerous discussions with colleagues at other academic institutions, we believe that these challenges are remarkably similar at many if not most academic medical centers across the country.
