Computer Applications in Medical Care. Computer Systems in Hospitals. Hospital Information Systems: Planning Evaluation and Implementation: The Veterans Administrations Approach to Hospital Automation

摘要

The Veterans Administration (VA) hospitals are taking advantage of their critical mass and the principles of decentralization to automate application areas in an integrated fashion. The hospital computer program that the VA is pursuing will soon provide for a comprehensive hospital information system for every VA hospital and provide VA's management officials with the information they need to manage the VA's nation-wide health care system.
