Narcisse, M. R., Kippenbrock, T. A., Odell, E., & Buron, B. (2013). Advanced Practice Nurses' Meaningful use of electronic health records. Applied Nursing Research, 26(3), 127-132. | Type of Study: Quantitative, Design Type: Non-experimental research Framework/Theory: Exploratory Study using survey | Convenience sampling was used to select subjects for the survey and these were selected from the Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee state nursing boards | Concepts: The study was done using 6986 postcards, to which 526 individuals responded Independent Variable: The survey consisted of self-administered multi choice questions aimed at getting different views Dependent Variable: Chi-Square Test Controlled Variable: Mann-Whitney U Test | Two thirds of the APNs were EHR-user. Statistically significant differences between EHR-users and non-users were found in age categories, practice setting, practice size, and in tasks related to imagery report review and care coordination.

Kirkendall, E. S., Goldenhar, L. M., Simon, J. L., Wheeler, D. S., & Spooner, S. A. (2013). Transitioning from a computerized provider order entry and paper documentation system to an electronic health record: Expectations and experiences of hospital staff. International journal of medical informatics, 82(11), 1037-1045. | Type of Study: . Qualitative Design Type: I-SEE Survey Framework/Theory Examining perceptions of healthcare workers towards the use of systematic Electronic Health Records | The study was conducted in Cincinatti Children’s Hospital Medical Centre | Concepts: The study was done using 731 sets of response data that was attained from the inpatient staff. Hospital Training, Electronic records. Independent Variable: The survey was conducted online via survey monkey application and the data gathered from all participating respondents Dependent Variable: Cronbach coefficient was used in the survey Controlled Variable: Wakefields Support and Resources Scale | Most respondents agreed that the use of EHR had improved their performance in the field. Survey results demonstrated that the organizational expectations for transitioning from a hybrid paper/electronic HIT system to a fully functional EHR were positive and that the organization met and even staff exceeded expectations (for the items surveyed) 1 year post-implementation. | Level IV |
