Using the Clinical Information System Implementation Evaluation Scale as a Clinical Implementation Strategy

Abstract

The American Nurses Association mandates nursing informaticists to evaluate clinical system implementation processes. When implementing electronic documentation systems, the use of an evaluation tool aids in the identification of end-user concerns and recommendations, which leads to process improvement. At two community hospitals in South Florida, a Clinical Information System Implementation Evaluation Scale was used to evaluate nursing perceptions during the implementation of a new pediatric electronic documentation system (eDocumentation). The goals were to identify barriers and resistance, as well as opportunities to improve the implementation process, and thus gain acceptance among end users.

Clinicians' Attitudes Toward Electronic Health Records in Saudi Arabia

“…These findings are consistent with previous findings reported by Brown et al who examined levels of anxiety around computer use among interns and found that gender and computer skill were uncorrelated with satisfaction levels [9]. The lack of correlation between computer experience and satisfaction with EHR is a similar finding to that reported by [13][14][15]. The lack of correlation between these variables could be due to the provision of sufficient training and support, which have been found to mitigate difficulties that could be experienced by nurses and physicians with no previous experience with technology [8,16].…”

“…The study adopted the validated and reliable Clinical Information System Implementation Evaluation Scale (CISIES) questionnaire, which was developed by an expert panel based on a highly validated questionnaire [ 12 ] and tested to ensure its validity and enhance its content for evaluating users' satisfaction with EMR. The survey underwent rigorous testing and validation processes, demonstrating a high internal consistency of 0.94 Cronbach’s alpha, thus enhancing its reliability for assessing perceptions of EMR users [ 12 , 13 ] (see Appendix). The purpose of the questionnaire is to solicit clinicians’ perceptions of EHR [ 12 ].…”

Exploring facilitators of the implementation of electronic health records in Saudi Arabia

“…Although previous literature was considered during the questionnaire design, to improve the questionnaire’s validity, the majority of questions were taken from a preexisting questionnaire, “ The Clinical Information System Implementation Evaluation Scale (CISIES) ” [ 51 ] The CISIES has been widely used in the field of ICT implementation in health care and has been implemented in various similar studies [e.g. 52 ]. CISIES can gather users’ attitudes on health information systems.…”
