Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is an essential professional skill that includes completion of documentation throughout the intervention. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the Advanced Cardiac Life Support documentation system. A structured questionnaire based on the Task-Technology Fit and the Information Systems Success Model was used to measure seven major categories of Advanced Cardiac Life Support system use: task characteristics, technology characteristics, task-technology fit, system quality, information quality, user satisfaction, and net benefits. In addition, one open-ended question was used to analyze the perceptions of the system used, a chart review was conducted to investigate record completeness, and time spent on documentation was explored. The questionnaire results indicated an average score near 3 (on a 4-point Likert scale) for all seven categories of Advanced Cardiac Life Support system use. Other study results revealed notable improvements in the records' time efficiency (pre=52.86 minutes and post=41.09 minutes) and completeness of records (pre=62.4% and ost=91.4%). Both of these measures reached a significant difference. The Advanced Cardiac Life Support system could improve the efficiency and completeness of nursing records, and nurses were satisfied with use of the system.
