Abstract:
Systematic monitoring of HIS quality is an important task; however, this task is often seen to be insufficiently supported. To support systematic HIS monitoring, we developed the HIS-Monitor questionnaire, focusing on how a hospital information system (HIS) does efficiently support clinical and administrative tasks. HIS-Monitor was applied in a feasibility study with 102 nursing participants. Results point to strengths and weaknesses of information processing in the participating departments. Based on the experiences of the feasibility study, HIS-Monitor is now further being optimized.
