Abstract
Successful implementation of a clinical information system depends on a variety of factors, but the two most important issues are not related to the technology but to organizational and people issues (Lorenzi et al., 2004). This chapter focuses on improving and responding to organizational and people issues. Promoting user acceptance by identifying and responding to resistance against information systems, optimizing communication, and managing change effectively mitigate both of these issues.
