    Area of Science:

    • Health Informatics
    • Respiratory Care Technology

    Background:

    • Traditional paper charting in respiratory care is labor-intensive.
    • Computerized information systems offer potential for improved efficiency and data management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the impact of a newly implemented computer-charting system for respiratory care.
    • To assess changes in therapist attitudes, work patterns, charting completeness, and productivity.

    Main Methods:

    • A comparative study evaluating charting systems before and after computer implementation.
    • Methods included therapist surveys, work pattern observations, charting content audits, and productivity analysis.

    Main Results:

    • Therapists showed positive acceptance of the computer-charting system.
