Abstract
Installing a system in a clinical setting presents a wide variety of issues. One may at first believe that prior pilot projects will adequately reflect the installation as a whole. It might seem that the evaluation from the limited experience could be extrapolated to the full clinical use of the system. We have consistently found this belief to be completely incorrect. The controlled environment in which a pilot project is initiated inevitably is highly skewed to the particularity of that specific setting.
