1. The stakes are life and death
2. Healthcare information is highly personal
3. Healthcare is highly influenced by regulation and competition
4. Health care is professionally driven and hierarchical
5. Healthcare is multidisciplinary
6. Healthcare information system implementation is complex, with important implications for learning and adaptation
Select one and describe how it influences the development and implementation of information systems.
