Details: Abstract The purpose of this poster is to heighten our consciousness level about the potential of the contemporary Health Information Technology (HIT) implementation arena to add to our understanding about health care delivery cost containment. An increased understanding about health care delivery costs needs to explicitly specify human factor sources of turbulence and take into account the value of nurses as problem-solving resources for contributing to control of complex dynamic environments.
