View original source ↗Export metadata ↓

Abstract

Because more and more health care agencies are becoming computerized, nursing administrators need to increase their knowledge about computer systems. Specifically, they must have at least some basic knowledge regarding the purchase, implementation, and maintenance of systems, because they and their staff are ultimately affected by them. This article describes how one agency managed the implementation of a new computer system and the issues that the nurse administrator faced during this process.
