3. Description of Problem(s) Addressed by the Case

This will vary from case to case. When appropriate, present the goals/issues meant to be solved by the implementation of technology. Other cases (e.g. the failure of technology) may require a description of the problem/issue that needs to be solved. Still others will be existing technologies that could be improved.

4. Health Care Informatics Relevancy
