Assessment of Health Information System Change Resistance

Abstract

This study investigates user perception and resistance against change in the Hospital Information System (HIS) change. A quantitative approach with a survey was applied to determine perception and resistance ofvgroups.The results were compared with each other: the percentage of innovators (32%), the percentage of early adopters (21%), the percentage of early majority (31%), and the percentage of late majority (12%), and the percentage of laggards (4%). Acceptance differs due to financial reasons. The resistance differs according to the employees’ status. IT developments, management supported security and privacy rules increase employee performance and acceptance. For resistance, there has been a significant difference feedback of employees is required, and functional needs reduce resistance. Hospitals need to use new and up-to-date information technology in order to serve effective patient care with valid standards.

Sağlık Bilgi Sistemi Değişim Direnci Değerlendirmesi

Abstract

Bu çalışma, Hastane Bilgi Sistemi (HBS) değişikliğinde kullanıcının algılamasını ve değişime karşı direnci araştırmaktadır. Grupların algı ve direncini belirlemek için bir anket ile nicel bir yaklaşım uygulanmıştır. Sonuçlar birbirleriyle karşılaştırılmıştır: yenilikçilerin yüzdesi (% 32), erken benimseyenlerin yüzdesi (% 21), erken çoğunluğun yüzdesi (% 31) ) ve geç çoğunluk yüzdesi (% 12) ve gecikme yüzdesi (% 4). Kabul, finansal nedenlerden dolayı farklılık gösterir. Direnç çalışanların durumuna göre değişir. BT gelişmeleri, yönetim destekli güvenlik ve gizlilik kuralları çalışanların performansını ve kabulünü artırır. Direnç için, çalışanların geribildirimi önemli bir fark olmuştur ve fonksiyonel ihtiyaçlar direnci azaltır. Hastanelerin geçerli standartlarda etkili hasta bakımı sunmak için yeni ve güncel bilgi teknolojilerini kullanması gerekmektedir.
