Healthcare IT Failures

Post date: Jan 6, 2010 9:21:56 AM

I've added a new page called HCIT (Healthcare IT) Failures as there is growing evidence of the challenges of HCIT deployment, especially those of a mass scale like the UK's National Health Service. There are of course success stories like the US Veteran Administration.

I found reviews of a new article on this subject in the Milbank Quarterly from a posting on the Health Care Renewal blog and an article in Healthcare IT News. The article by Greenhalgh, Potts, Wong, Bark and Swinglehurst at University College London is titled "Tensions and Paradoxes in Electronic Patient Record Research: A Systematic Literature Review Using the Meta-narrative Method". At the moment (of this posting) the article is free to download at this link.

Go to the page HCIT Failures for more information.
