title: Recommendations on the design of hospital Intranets.
abstract: Intranets are being widely introduced in hospitals like in many other organisations. Although their development is just like setting up any other information system in a hospital, there is a tendency to neglect well established principles of software engineering and information system design in that area. Starting from a functional definition of an intranet, we illustrate its potential importance for a hospital from different aspects. A systematic framework for an iterative design and maintenance process is suggested. Some important design principles are depicted.
