Abstract

Creating a new healthcare system through the use of enabling technologies requires changes on a profound scale--changes in how clinicians work and think. Integrating technology into professional curricula for physicians and nurses is crucial. Research into the role that human factors play in technology adoption is laying the groundwork for successful implementations that support clinical processes. Clinicians need systems that support not only workflow but also "thoughtflow"--the process by which physicians obtain, assess, prioritize and act upon information. Clinicians are not technophobic; they simply demand technologies that offer clear and immediate value as they care for patients.
