| HIT: Healthcare Information Technology |
|
A 2015 statewide survey of Texas nurses’ experiences with EHRs was repeated in 2020. Study results are reported, compared, and contrasted with 2015 results in this recent report. TNA and TONL Collaboration
In 2010, Texas Nurses Association stepped up efforts to enable the use of informatics in nursing practice and education in Texas for the sake of safer, higher quality patient care. The TNA Board of Directors created a Health Information Technology (HIT) Task Force and in concert with the Texas Organization of Nurse Executives (TONE) appointed members from each organization to serve, among them some of Texas’ noted nursing informaticists. Over 1,150 Nurse ParticipantsIn 2015, the HIT Committee was charged with examining how Texas nurses across the state were affected by electronic health records. The committee established baseline measures of satisfaction, suggested improvement strategies and evaluated their impact. This information will inform statewide efforts to improve the use of HIT for nurses and associated stakeholders. In addition, findings will be used to inform health care organizations about the current experience of Texas nurses with clinical information system and EHR implementation. The report may also be used as a foundation for future studies and comparisons with national benchmarks.
