Over the past several years, the Internet has become a ubiquitous part of computing. While early Internet applications focused on electronic communication in the government and academic sectors, the introduction of the World Wide Web has increased general interest in the technology. This technology has been adapted in healthcare information systems and as a result, intranets are also surfacing in various healthcare organizations. In the following study, two methods of clinical practice guideline implementation are compared. This study traces the evolution of the Kaiser Permanente Northwest Electronic Clinical Practice guideline dissemination system. It is hypothesized that placing guidelines on an intranet would make this information easier to retrieve retrieval time, retrieval accuracy, and ease of use for empirically evaluated.
