title: An incremental pharmacy informatics model for use in a rural hospital.
abstract: We present an implementation model for pharmaceutical computerized decision support (CDS) that enables a hospital to incrementally target specific "high value" projects as needs are identified and support is secured. Our model, which we are currently implementing in a rural medical center, allows the hospital and its staff to quickly reap some benefits from CDS in spite of resource limitations.
