Abstract	The report evaluates the impact of the Technicon Medical Information System (TMIS) on El Camino Hospital (ECH) in Mountain View, California, over a three year period. A comprehensive report of the cost-benefits of the system at ECH will be available in mid 1976. The major objective was to evaluate the impact of TMIS on the organization and administration of health care delivery at ECH. An analysis of staffing patterns is presented first followed by nursing activity analysis and studies on direct use of the system by the medical staff. Finally, special studies consider the performance of TMIS and its impact on ancillary and support services. Appendices present background information, including a description of the system, various questionnaires used on the ECH staff, a discussion of the background, and a description of the implementation process of the system at ECH.
