Selecting hospital information systems is challenging. This study introduces the SMARTER method for comparing clinical information systems, ensuring better integration and functionality before purchase.

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Information Systems Engineering
  • Computer Science Applications in Medicine

Background:

  • Modern hospital information systems are distributed, comprising interconnected subsystems.
  • The "make or buy" decision for subsystems requires rigorous evaluation.
  • Assessing functional and integration requirements is critical but complex.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a simple and flexible technique for comparing clinical information systems.
  • To introduce the SMARTER method for pre-implementation evaluation.
  • To demonstrate the practicability of the SMARTER method in a hospital setting.

Main Methods:

  • Development of the SMARTER method for system comparison.
  • Application of the SMARTER method to a specific hospital scenario.
