Abstract
In order to survive in an increasingly competitive environment, hospitals will have to utilize a wide range of newly emerging computer technologies that must be integrated into technologically feasible and cost-effective systems. Substantial improvements in hospital performance will require the development of computer-based systems that are flexible, integrated, and intelligent. A scientific foundation that can provide a rational basis for the restructuring of the hospital will be required.
