Large-Scale Clinical Systems. Workstations as Tools for Systems Integration: The Practice Management Workstation: Providing Incentive Across Subgroups of Users

摘要

One goal of Integrated Academic Information Management Systems (IAIMS) is to provide a single source to information that is required to perform a task. The design of a function that integrates data from several sources is complicated because each person who is responsible for entering information into the shared resource must realize a benefit from the system in return for their participation. The implementation of an automated Inpatient List as part of a Practice Management Workstation demonstrated the importance of identifying a specific incentive for each subgroup of users in order to encourage the cooperation which benefits the total user community.
