Abstract:
Information is critical for the successful operation of healthcare facilities. Data must be accurate, available on a timely basis, and accessible. An information system should connect all potential suppliers and users of data; be accessible to users, but secure from unauthorized persons; have equipment that can interface with sources and users throughout an organization; archive data in a logical and accessible manner; and support users throughout the organization it serves. Dr. Fallon discusses operator training, strategic planning, and upgrading of equipment.
