Hospital information systems applications and potential: a literature review revisited, 1982-1992.
Although this article has addressed the many advancements in administrative and clinical applications of hospital information systems, there are many other issues that have affected and will continue to affect the development and transition of hospital information systems that are beyond its scope. A few of the more critical of these issues are the emergence of local area networks and wide area networks, more widespread use of graphical user interfaces (such as Windows), the powerful technology afforded by workstations and personal computers built with the 486 microchip, legal issues, and the always present obligation of ensuring data confidentiality and system security.
