Title: Hospital Information Systems: towards Paperless Hospital

Abstract
Implementing a new information system requires us to change the way we work. The reorganization of processes offers a possibility to increase the quality of our services and safety for both patients and health workers. This was our goal from the first steps as we started developing a new hospital information system (HIS). Presentation will show how nurses see and use HIS in practice with emphasis on ensuring quality and safety, how IT changes our work and thinking and how we are aiming for a paperless hospital.
