“…According to these findings, 75.6% health professionals were willing to use the EMR system in private hospitals. This finding is in line with a study carried out in private hospitals in India, where 75% were comfortable working on EMRs [ 10 ]. However, the result of this study is lower than that of a study conducted in Nigeria (Lagos) [ 15 ] and Kenya [ 16 ].…”

Introduction Despite the high expectations of electronic medical records as a great prospect for improving performance in healthcare, the level of adoption and utilization, particularly in a developing country, is low. Knowing the willingness to use the electronic medical record system in the private hospital has an impact on the future implementation status and utilization of the electronic medical record in Ethiopia. However, there was no evidence of the status of the willingness to use electronic medical record systems in private hospitals in the Amhara region. This study aimed to assess the willingness to use electronic medical record Systems and its associated factors among health professionals working in Amhara Region Private Hospitals. Methods A cross-sectional institutional study was performed among 406 health professionals selected using proportional allocation with a simple random sampling technique in Amhara region private hospitals by using self-administered structured questionnaires. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 20 software. Descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression were performed to estimate the crude and adjusted odds ratios with a 95% Confidence interval. Results Out of the 406 participants included in the analysis, 307 (75.6%) showed a willingness to use the electronic medical record system. About three hundred twelve (76.8%) health professionals had good knowledge of electronic medical record systems, and 257 (63.3%) had good computer skills in electronic medical record systems. Health professionals who had electronic medical record knowledge (AOR = 1.85, 95% CI (1.004–3.409)), EMR training (3.29, 95% CI (1.353–8.003)), technical support personnel (1.92, 95% CI (1.122–3.305)), supportive supervision (AOR = 1.97, 95% CI (1.072–3.628)), and computer skill on electronic medical record (1.77, 95% CI (1.002–3.148)) were significantly associated with the outcome variable. Conclusions This finding shows a good proportion of willingness to use the electronic medical record system. The most significant factors associated with willingness to use the electronic medical record system were a lack of computer skills, computer training, and knowledge of the electronic medical record system.

“…In the same hospital setting, in a study conducted in 2013 by the authors among 296 staff nurses, 75% of the respondents were comfortable in working on electronic medical records, and 77% of the nurses of the sample opined that if all healthcare personnel enter the patient care data on computers can improve the patient care, by providing easy and timely access. [18] While in a study done in Abu Dhabi among 248 nurses regarding their knowledge levels with regards to blood transfusion, it was seen post administration of the Routine blood transfusion knowledge questionnaire that the nurses scores were low (less than 50%), our study revealed the average knowledge levels of the nurses in the control group with 79% and the experimental group with 77% to be good. The minimum a nurse scored in the control group i.e.…”

Aim To study the perceptions of critical care nurses in using digital learning material in a multi-speciality hospital in India, with objectives to fulfil the primary objective as converting the classroom teaching modules into digital format and secondary objective was to identify the research gap of understanding the effectiveness of technology based (e-tools) tools for Continuous Nursing Education compared to Traditional classroom training. Methodology: Experimental, Case Control method study was done among nursing manpower from the Intensive care units of a multi-speciality tertiary care teaching hospital with 220 Intensive care beds. Non-Probability convenience sampling was taken with 335 nurses as experimental group and 335 participants who chose to attend the traditional training class formed the control group. A single training program was instituted on blood transfusion practices. Results It is seen that in the control group, the percentage increase in median scores was 11.8%, whereas experimental group had median score of 17.7%. The maximum improvement in at least one participant in the control group was 31.5% while in the experimental group it was 36.5%. Conclusion Digital educational technologies are vastly been embraced in nursing education. The digital platforms provide great amount of independence to the learner, utility of theoretical knowledge can be improved through virtual learning environments. This study reinforces the introductory experiences that our nursing personnel had, which prompts the administration to reduce the training costs.

“…227-232). The survey conducted by Pera, Kaur and Rao (2014) concludes that major problems are the delay of services caused by the slow dispersion of records and the inability of the staff to understand the prescriptions and diagnosis written by the doctors. The technical and human challenges can be overcome through the upgradation of computers, network communication devices, software modules and continuous encouragement and motivation of the staff using the HIS (Khalifa, 2014, pp.…”

There is a progressive integration of technology by different sectors of our economy so as to enhance the productivity and efficiency of the business operations. However, in the Indian health care sector, it is discouraging to observe that not much is being spent on the hospital information systems (HIS). Technology integration has the potential to not only accelerate the speed but also enhance the quality and efficiency of hospital operations. The present research aims to determine the degree of adoption of HIS in hospitals of Jalandhar city and also explores the barriers in HIS implementation. An attempt has been made to study the impact of different hospitalrelated variables on the adoption of HIS. To attain the purpose, a questionnaire survey was conducted on 31 hospitals of Jalandhar city and the data collected were analysed using percentages, cross-tabulation and chi-square test. Results revealed that a scanty percentage of hospitals in Jalandhar adopt HIS and that too primarily for clinical and administrative functions. However, an increased adoption of HIS was observed, with an increase in the size of the hospital in terms of its investment, number of employees and sales revenue. Greater infrastructure and financial requirements, rigorous staff training needs and reluctance of top management and medical specialists to implement the system emerged as the prominent barriers to HIS implementation. Nevertheless, a vast majority of hospitals adopting HIS were satisfied from its performance. The current research has strong implications and great value for hospital authorities. It not only determines the degree to which HIS is adopted in hospitals but also reviews the satisfaction derived from it. Its real value lies in identifying the specific problems or barriers that lead to the lower rate of HIS adoption.
