title: Managing changes to user defined standard content in clinical information systems deployed across a large complex healthcare system.
abstract: A large health care system developed standard data sets for business and clinical modules using clinical content experts from across the organization. Vendor software to control facility edits was employed. The organizational structure and decision making methodology for managing change requests, challenges encountered and solutions developed are described. More than 1000 change requests have been handled in the nursing and clinical ancillary modules during the 1st year of the process.
