Using a revised model to identify information requirements for cardiac surgery patients operating mobile computing technology.
Information system selection and implementation continues to occupy the majority of informatics nurses' time in clinical settings. Despite the availability of more sophisticated guidance for system selection and implementation, some agencies continue to fail when attempting to automate their information processing. Such failures cost the agencies time and resources, two valuable commodities. In some cases information systems were selected and specifications developed without first identifying information needs within the agencies. The Model for Identifying Information System Requirements (MDISR) could be used to help agencies to identify information needing to be considered during the selection and implementation processes.
