| Abstract: | Background Many hospital departments have implemented small clinical departmental systems (CDSs) to collect and use patient data for
documentation as well as for other department-specific purposes. As hospitals are implementing institution-wide electronic
patient records (EPRs), the EPR is thought to be integrated with, and gradually substitute the smaller systems. Many EPR systems
however fail to support important clinical workflows. Also, successful integration of systems has proven hard to achieve.
As a result, CDSs are still in widespread use. This study was conducted to see which tasks are supported by CDSs and to compare
this to the support offered by the EPR. |
