Evaluation of Clinical Nursing Information System in Taiwan Regional Hospital

摘要

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the Clinical Nursing Information System (CNIS) in Taiwan regional hospital. In 2016, a total of 333 nurses responded to the Technology Acceptance Model-based questionnaire after 15 months of CNIS implementation. The results showed positive acceptance toward CNI, especially among those nurses who were younger, those who worked as administrative managers or in non-critical care units, and had advanced computer skills. Clinical Nursing Information Systems (CNIS) improve the communication between health care team to enhance the healthcare quality and work efficiency. In June 2015, an 862-bed regional hospital in Taiwan implemented CNIS, including a total of 19 sub-systems such as pain assessment etc (see Figure 1). The purpose of this study was to investigate nurses' perception toward the CNIS and as a reference for the similar healthcare institutes in the future.
