Abstract
This article identifies a significant incidence of unsatisfactory outcomes in complex automation projects. It looks at the particular problems that arise when specifying and designing automated systems for the healthcare industry and how they contribute to complexity. A number of case examples are given. It describes a simple methodology. It concludes that rigorous application of a sound methodology is a prerequisite for a successful project. A recommended check‐list is given.
