Abstract
Computerized information systems in behavioral health care have existed since the 1960s.1 The first systems were mainly administrative patient data systems, which were followed by the development of computer systems to support clinical processes. Later systems incorporated both functions and were able to provide benefits for both management and clinical levels. Benefits to management include support for planning and allocating of resources, clinical audit, and outcome measurement.2 At the clinical level information systems can support the coordination of services, patient assessment, treatment plans, and reviews, and provide a basis for continuity of care.3 Despite the early introduction of such systems and potential benefits, the diffusion of information technology in this area has been slow.4 The diffusion of technology in behavioral health began to increase in the 1990s.
