Healthcare information systems (HISs), such as computerized physician order entry (CPOE) and computer-based patient records (CPRs) have been implemented to enhance the quality of care and to improve the efficiency and safety of services. However, empirical research reported that the outcomes of HIS implementations in both primary care and hospital settings have not met expectations. In consequence, hospital executives are now aware of the danger that they may overlook the interplay between the HIS and organizational performance, and in particular individual users' needs, problems, and demands, if they uncritically trust the promises made by vendors.

In fact, what is needed is the use of an implementation methodology that minimizes the information asymmetry in the implementation process, and allows the accumulation of the knowledge capital needed to prevent rejection of the final System.

Your task is to present and describe the various methodological strategies for information systems implementation, the people who should be involved, the activities that should occur, and the questions that should be addressed in acquiring any new information system.
