Through effective planning and preparation, a healthcare organization can avoid bad experience in acquiring an information system. While outside consultants may be helpful in considering a proposed computer system, resources needed for successful system acquisition may be found among an organization's staff members. An acquisition team of employees with expertise in financial management, information systems management, clinical matters, operations, and legal issues can help a team leader acquire a system that balances the needs of each department.
