However, implementation of clinical information systems often report significant failures. A systematic review of the research literature identified processes and outcomes of clinical information system implementation and factors that influenced success or failure. Of 124 original papers, 18 met the primary inclusion criteria-clinical systems implementation, healthcare facility, and outcome measures. Data extraction elements included study characteristics, outcomes, and implementation risk factors classified according to the Expanded Systems Life Cycle. The quality of each study was also assessed. Forty-nine outcomes of clinical information system implementation were identified. No single implementation strategy proved completely effective. The findings of this synthesis direct the attention of managers and decision makers to the importance of clinical context to successful implementation of clinical information systems. The highest number of factors influencing success or failure was reported during implementation and system "go-live." End-user support or lack thereof was the important factor in both successful and failed implementations, respectively. Following the Expanded Systems Life Cycle management model instead of a traditional project management approach may contribute to greater success over time, by paying particular attention to the underrecognized maintenance phase of implementation.

The PEARL laboratory at Eureka, Nunavut is the Canadian contribution to this enterprise. PEARL is a refurbishment of an existing laboratory for studying stratospheric ozone, but its mission has been extended to include air quality and climate issues. The laboratory is now home to over 25 instruments studying the atmosphere from the ground to approximately 100km. These cover a range of in situ and remote sounding instruments including lidars, spectrometers and samplers. Besides the direct measurement role, PEARL supports the validation of a variety of polar orbiting satellites. Due to the geometry of a sun synchronous orbit, PEARL gets the maximum number of overpasses possible and this makes it ideal for validation and calibration for the Arctic region. As a contributor to the measurements of the "Arctic ring" of laboratories, PEARL covers the Canadian sector. Since Canada has a large territorial land mass in the Arctic, this is of national strategic interest. This talk will highlight some of the latest operating results from PEARL and also serve as an introduction to the facility and its capabilities.
