| dc.description.abstract | The participation of senior nursing healthcare executives in the acquisition of electronic healthcare information systems is not well understood. This is an important issue because nurses make up the majority of care-providers within the Canadian healthcare system, and thus the majority of the information systems end-users. End-user involvement in the selection and evaluation of a healthcare information system is vital to implementation success; it is very important we understand the background knowledge and participation of the nursing leadership making these important decisions. Senior healthcare executives with a background in nursing from each of the Health Authorities across British Columbia were recruited to participate in an online survey questionnaire. An N=11 of senior executives were invited to participate, and a response rate of 82% was achieved. Among many interesting findings, the results showed a clear interest and enthusiasm from these nursing leaders in taking an active and enthusiastic role in key aspects of electronic healthcare information systems acquisition and upgrading projects. | en_US |
