The use of Information Technology is emerging in the Healthcare industry; and rigorous evaluation of the technological involvement is recommended for use by the decision-makers and users altogether. Despite the implementation of this technology, reports on the benefits and adoption remain limited, which prompted a Critical Care Information Systems implementation involving the human, organization, and technology fit implementation (Yusof et al., 2008). This case study evaluates the implementation of OpChart in the West Medical Building using the HOT-Fit approaches and examines the effectiveness of the system.
