We describe the implementation of an electronic medication management system (eMMS) in an Australian teaching hospital, to inform future similar exercises. The success of eMMS implementation depends on: ➢ a positive workplace culture (leadership, teamwork and clinician ownership) ➢ acceptance of the major impact on work practices by all staff ➢ timely system response to user feedback ➢ training and support for clinicians ➢ a usable system ➢ adequate decision support.
