Abstract
In this study the information requirements of the personnel of Korean general hospitals are investigated. The results of the survey reveal that the information requirements of the general hospital personnel are quite different from each other according to their occupation type. The results show that the integrity of information about patients and the pervasiveness of information regarding to overall hospital operations are two major factors that differentiates the information requirements variation among occupation types of general hospital personnel. The results show that doctors, nurses, and medical technologists can be grouped into a occupation group, and that the admission department personnel and the patient affairs personnel can be grouped into another group. The results also show pharmacists and nutrition technicians constitute separate occupation groups of their own, respectively.
