Description
Summary:	In late 1986, Children's Hospital set out to design and implement an Integrated Hospital Information System (“IHIS”) by interfacing licensed departmental applications to each other and to a set of centralized database tools. Although systems integration strategies and “open” systems are much discussed, relatively few large scale implementations of this style have been attempted. A three year plan and budget were approved in October 1987, and at this writing, the project is nearing completion. This report and companion papers [2-7] describe the current status of this effort and highlight certain issues attendant to this approach.
