(5) I have noticed this phenomenon in the design of hospital information systems. Departments such as Laboratory, Pharmacy, Accounts Receivable, etc, each install independent systems. As the costs of duplication are realized, an "integrated approach" is called for. Sometimes, physicians ask for a system from their viewpoint (yet another point of view). But the fundamental problem--an infrastructure incapable of handling the conflicting information needs of its users, and the basic nonlinearity of the system--is ignored.
