Use of computers in hospitals: an analysis of intensive and nonintensive users.

Differences between "Intensive" and non-intensive users of computers among hospitals are analyzed using step wise discriminant analysis. Hospitals are classified into "Intensive" and "Nonintensive" users of computers based on the total number of tasks computerized by each hospital. Results show that size, location, and competition from other hospitals in the area, are the significant differences between the two groups. Differences in the computer usage patterns are also examined. Possible reasons for the differences between the two groups are discussed.

Participative HIS development: an approach and a case study.

User participation in HIS development is considered essential for achieving systems implementation success. Realizing a participative HIS development, where users are full members of the development team, requires not only choosing an appropriate methodology but also organizing the participation process in a way that is tailored to the particular situation in order to achieve the desired results. A general approach to this problem is presented in this paper. An application of the approach to the particular context of a Greek hospital is described.
