A White Paper by the AMIA Knowledge in Motion Working Group — Demiris et al. 15 (1): 8 — Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association – Nice description of what we know/don’t know about PCHIT. However, given that the rest of the world uses IT in a more customer centric way, are we going to wait for research?
