Gauld and Goldfinch describe a number of largescale information and communications technology (ICT) projects with an emphasis on health information systems, emphasizes the high failure rates of mega projects that assume they can create a design denovo, build from the design and deploy successfully. It also highlights the advantages of starting with more modest scopes and growing incrementally based on experience with the initial scope.

The HELP (Health Evaluation through Logical Processing) system was a computerized hospital information system developed by the authors at the LDS Hospital at the University of Utah, USA. It provided clinical, hospital administration and financial services through the use of a modular, integrated design. This book thoroughly documents the HELP system. Chapters discuss the use of the HELP system in intensive care units, the use of APACHE and APACHE II on the HELP system, various clinical applications and inactive or experimental HELP system modules. Although the HELP system has now been retired from routine use, it remains an important example of several key issues in EHR implementation and use that continue in the commercial systems of today.
