Abstract
The introduction of automated information systems in the health care environment creates a challenging management situation for nursing administrators. Health care providers frequently have “crisis managed” change in systems rather than developing proactive tactical approaches. This paper proposes the use of the systems life cycle concept as a framework to help manage issues and problems that result from change created by automating information systems.
