| Summary: | 碩士 === 嘉南藥理科技大學 === 醫務管理系 === 101 === Because of the development of electronic medical record and constant lackness of nursing workforce, there are more and more medical institutes build their own nurse information system (NIS). The system expects to provide nurses a platform they can utilize during their day-to-day clinical care activities. The goal of using NIS intends to mitigate the burden of nurses during their medical records writing, improve their care quality, and to promote patient safety. In any hospital, not only are most of the medical professionals nurses, but they are also the direct care providers to patients. Therefore, their participations and standpoints play a key role when to evaluate and implement the nurse information system.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of implementing NIS, and to discuss several issues affecting a successful deployment from the perspectives of nurses who are the major users of the information system. The methodology is based on the theory of Technology Acceptance Model, TAM. The researcher adopted a Cross-Sectional study method for survey and data collection. 167 questionnaires were handed out to subjects. 158 valid questionnaires, about 94.6 percent were collected, and these data were analyzed by using software including SPSS and PLS.
The data analysis depicts that the most significant factors that influence the
willingness of nurses to use NIS are their degrees of satisfaction and their usefulness perceptions towards the system. A nurse information system being able to provide functions that lead to characteristics such as usefulness and convenience, avoidance of tedious repeat writing, and improvement of care quality will make nurses feel satisfied about the system and thus stimulate their interests in using NIS on their work. Item analysis revealed that nurses asked very willing to learn and use care information systems, and can be trained to operate him. This result can be used as hospital managers to understand nurses' willingness to use nursing information systems, and can also be served as references for future development of similar information system in the hospital.
