Tóm tắt

This is a national survey of acute care hospitals. A random sample of 813 hospitals was selected. The purpose of the study was to measure the extent of information systems integration in the financial, medical, and administrative systems of the hospitals. The response rate is expected to be approximately 30%. This information will provide a benchmark for hospitals to determine their technology transfer position and to set goals.
