title: The impact of clinical information systems in dental schools.
abstract: Although Clinical Information Systems (CIS) are gaining widespread acceptance in dental schools, their impact on users is not well understood. We conducted separate qualitative studies of the impact of CIS on users in two dental schools and then compared our results. We found five themes in common. By understanding the factors that impact CIS implementation we believe that dental schools will be better prepared to manage them.
