Workflow and problem domain as information planning tools in a pediatric clinic--defining present and future information technology needs.
In 2002, $22.4 billion were spent on hospital construction in the US. With lifetimes for new buildings expected to be decades, planning a building's information technology infrastructure must take into account present and future needs. Workflow measurement and the definition of problem domain have been advanced as essential tools in addressing current requirements while anticipating future needs. To examine these, stakeholders must be identified-including both those who will use the facility and those who will be involved in the IT planning and long term support.
