This article considers the 26 years history of an integrated hospital information system (HIS). The system emerged from an experimental government sponsored project in the Leiden University Hospital and is non;the leading HIS in The Netherlands. The evolution during these 26 years is presented and discussed in this article with an emphasis on the organisational setting and financing besides the aspects functionality, technology:architecture and evaluation aspects. Recently HISCOM was acquired by the BAAN-group completing the evolution and bringing the HIS to the international health care IT market. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.

Innovative methods of providing workplace education for health care professionals may be a key to the survival of rural hospitals in America. Such methods must overcome time, distance, cost and organizational constraints, and take into account the structure of the learning experience. The Texas Hospital Education and Research Foundation has recently been involved in two programs that tested new approaches to worker education using distance-learning strategies. The projects--resource sharing among rural directors of nursing and training for cancer tumor registrars--used computer-conferencing technology. A new model using existing satellite, audio-conferencing, and computer-based instruction augmented by computer conferencing is proposed. The Computer-Related Assisted Distance Learning Enhancement (CRADLE) model integrates existing technologies to provide education to health care workers at their desktop. The Cancer Learning Center (CLC) tested peer collaboration, the primary component of the model. The ultimate goal is to have the system available to all tumor registrars in Texas, and to secure funding to implement rural nursing and rural high-school health occupations education projects. Current projects from set-up through results are presented.

The establishment of a local area network can greatly widen access to an organization's electronic information services, create improved conditions for staffing the delivery of these services and improve training and user support. Such a project is, however, expensive to fund. This article describes the approach taken at the Royal Free Hospital School of Medicine to secure funds for networking MEDLINE on hard disk and other information services. The importance of close collaboration between library and computer departments in planning and promoting a project of this nature is emphasized.
