Abstract
Just as patient acceptance is the final factor in successful health intervention, so is acceptance of an information system by its intended users the final stage in successful information systems implementation. Health care providers who struggle with the problems of attitudes and behaviors regarding medication or self-directed care are no different than information systems designers who struggle with similar attitudes towards the systems that they develop and implement. They both need to understand that, in the final analysis—people count.Keywords
