The paper by Morrison and colleagues in the previous issue of Critical Care describes the adverse impact of introducing an electronic patient record in the ICU on multidisciplinary communication during ward rounds. The importance of evaluation and technology assessment in the implementation and use of new computing technology is highlighted. In critical care as in other areas of health care clinicians are faced with rising health care costs and aging and increasingly complex patients. Furthermore the rate of research knowledge production is outstripping our ability to incorporate this information into patient care. These factors as well as the increasing awareness of the risks of medical error have highlighted the potential benefits of information technology to clinical care. The paper by Morrison and colleagues 1 in the previous issue of Critical Care describes the impact of the introduction of an electronic patient record on interdisciplinary communication during intensive care unit ICU ward rounds. Critical care is a data-rich environment where it appears obvious that computing technology would be of benefit in managing the large .
