A generalizable framework for information systems for physician recruitment/referral

Abstract

Hospital information systems have evolved from data processing systems for patient billing and payroll to decision‐support systems which support decision making at the middle and upper management levels. With the advancements in the areas of database management, expert systems and networks, important hospital functions such as physician recruitment and referral which historically were performed using traditional procedures, are now performed using these computer‐based technologies. Develops a generalizable framework for information systems for physician recruitment and referral using technologies of database management, expert systems and networks. This GIS‐PRR system may be used by hospitals and other health‐care providers to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the physician recruitment/ referral process.
