Sensor Enhanced Health Information Systems: Issues and Challenges

Pnm-25: Nursing Information Systems: Issues and Challenges

Background: The nursing process is often considered as core of the nursing care delivery and guides the care documentation. Currently, with rapid advance in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) this process can be supported electronically. Applying information systems improves care health processes. Nursing Information Systems (NISs) deal with nursing process. Materials and Methods: E...

Pilot Implementation of Health Information Systems: Issues and Challenges

OBJECTIVES This study aims to explore the issues and challenges involved in designing and organizing pilot implementations of health information systems (HIS). Pilot implementations are a widely used approach for identifying design flaws and implementation issues before full-scale deployment of new HIS. However, it is not uncommon for pilot implementations to fail in the sense that little can b...

Enterprise Information Systems: Issues, Challenges and Viewpoints

This paper is based on a panel presentation to the first International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems (EIS). The panel intends to address important issues in EIS from the perspectives of research and industry. It has not only raised questions, concerns and topics related to the research, development and application of information technologies and systems, but also suggested approa...

The impact of sensor-enhanced regional health information systems

The expected economic impact of new health enabling technologies is often used as motivation for their development. Another motivation is the predicted positive impact on health care in general. The objective of this paper is to give a simple example for an economic calculation based on statistical data. A positive effect on health care in general can only be gained if the new technologies are ...
