Objectives:
To gather end-user feedback and evaluate factors that influence end-user satisfaction of order entry systems used in the hospitals under National Healthcare Group, Singapore.
Design:
Questionnaires were sent to a randomly selected group of 100 doctors and nurses.
Results & Conclusions:
52 doctors and nurses responded to the survey. The users' satisfaction with the clinical systems was average. (Mean satisfaction score is 3.85 on a scale of 1 to 7). Users generally agree that the systems could help reduce patient care errors and improve delivery of quality care to patients. System reliability, intuitive navigational capabilities and ease of use are strongly and positively correlated with user satisfaction. System response time however, is found to be strongly but negatively correlated with user satisfaction with a correlation coefficient of -0.717 (p<0.001). These findings suggest that more efforts should be made to improve these aspects in order to improve user satisfaction. These elements should also form important considerations in all future clinical systems development.

Guidelines and Strategies for Safe Computer Charting
Maintain Confidentiality and Security:
Integrated Healthcare System
Methods of Documentation I: Source-Oriented Records
In an SOR, each discipline involved in patient care maintains a separate medical record section. This record-keeping method enables easy tracking of patient progress and ensures healthcare staff have access to up-to-date information.
Key Attributes include the following:
