The Impacts of Informatics Competencies and User Training on Patient Information System Implementation

摘要

User training of information systems is crucial for the employees. However, it is not only the basic skills of information technology that determine what kind of training is required for the implementation. This study describes the users' professional competence and the implementation training, including information of the computer user training and learning methods. The target group consisted of the employees trained first to implement electronic health record systems in the Central Finland hospital district (n=290). Statistical methods such as frequency and percentage distributions, mean values and cluster averages were used in the analysis. The sum variables were made up by using factor analysis. Respondents were mainly satisfied with the classroom teaching. Almost half of them had practised the use of information systems after the teaching in the training environment. Good learning results were obtained when practising with personal guidance.
