Effects-Driven IT Development

The aim of this project is to investigate how the effects of the use of a system could play a prominent role in the contractual defini-tion of IT projects and how contract fulfilment could be determined on the basis of proven utility value and measured effects. The idea of effects-driven IT devel-opment is generally applicable to all large-scale IT pro-jects but will in this project be investigated in the context of Electronic Patient Record (EPR) systems. The project is co-funded by CSC Scandihealth A/S, Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation, and Region Zealand.Contact: Jesper Simonsen (simonsen@ruc.dk).
