Background:
Electronic clinical quality measures (eCQMs) are a method that automatically extract data from electronic health records (EHRs) and compute and generate the results to report and track the quality of care and patient outcomes.
Purpose:
The purpose of this study was to explore nurses' attitudes toward eCQMs and the factors influencing this attitude.
Methods:
A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using a closed-ended questions survey of 92 nurses in a teaching hospital.
Results:
The average score for nurses' attitudes toward eCQMs was 3.47 out of 4. Participants with a master's degree had more positive attitudes than those with a baccalaureate degree. Head nurses had more positive attitudes than staff nurses.
Conclusions:
The nurses in the study hospital have a positive attitude toward eCQMs. Health care organizations should strengthen the attitudes of nurses toward eCQMs.
