Evaluation of clinician response to wireless technology

The purpose of this study was to investigate the safety, use and response of clinical staff to wireless technology. A convenience sample of clinical staff was surveyed using a variety of assessment tools. The environmental assessment determined there was no interference between the wireless devices and the biomedical equipment on the patient care units. Survey results indicated a high level of acceptance for the wireless technology related to perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, impact, adoption, advantage and future need. Results indicated a strong, significant relationship between adoption and perceived usefulness (r(s)=.71 p<.01; r(2)(s)=.50).
