CLINT: a clinical informatics system for an internal medicine ward.

This paper describes a clinical informatics system that provides access to electronic information management tools for clinicians. The Clinical Informatics Network (CLINT) provides a variety of tools for accessing information on an internal medicine ward. Evaluations based on the use of the tools will provide insight to clinicians' information needs, and how these needs can be addressed using electronic information management tools. Better access to information could enhance the quality of patient care.
