Decision-support systems in health care. Factors influencing the development and transfer of technology
Abstract
National concern about escalating health care costs and inefficiencies in delivery systems has created demand for informatics technology such as decision-support systems. This paper discusses the pressing need for better cost information in health care and how decision-support technology meets this need. Future directions for the technology also are discussed.
