Recent advances in electronic auscultation and signal processing have yet to find clinical acceptance; however, computerized lung sound analysis may be ideal for pediatric populations in settings, where skilled healthcare providers are commonly unavailable.
Thirdly, we examined the patients' acceptance of computerized questionnaires.
Although obstacles exist to incorporating reminder systems into routine care [ 10- 12], to our knowledge, no study has examined patient acceptance of computerized reminders to improve routine health service delivery.
The results of the study indicated a high level of acceptance of computerized test procedures by the children, teachers and parents and a high test-retest reliability for most tests (Pearson's r > 0.70) [ 30].
As such, important factors contributing to successful computerized systems include good workflow integration, user acceptance, interoperability with existing infrastructure, and upgradability [ 1].
The interface of a computerized decision support system is crucial for its acceptance among end users.
Outcome measures were targeted at identifying feasibility, acceptance, benefits, and disadvantages of this computerized critical care procedure logging system, and to review the scope of experience in clinical procedures that our trainees received.
Thus, obtaining buy-in and acceptance for the implementation of a computerized system from hospital staff should not rely on broad promises of potential optimization benefits, but should rather target processes specific to the various user groups within their daily workflow that are genuinely perceived as inefficient.
Topics in healthcare have included the acceptance of telemedicine, electronic health records systems, computerized physician order entry systems, mobile healthcare systems, and PACSs [ 15, 22].
These data suggest that it is possible to design computerized prescribing decision support with high rates of alert recommendation acceptance by clinicians.
