A nursing informatics specialist at a small, rural hospital implemented a clinical
information system utilizing an electronic health record (EHR). She obtained input
from nurses regarding selection of the specific EHR. She noted that some of the
nurses had negative attitudes towards a change to the EHR, but she encouraged
them to try the system and note its benefits. She implemented the system after all
nurses were trained about the EHR. There were numerous complaints about the
EHR, which the Nursing Informatics Specialist decided to ignore since the
personnel were new to the system.

Which barrier to implementing technology is present in the scenario?

,Inadequate training

Lack of continued support

Lack of end user involvement

Ignoring attitudes early in the process
Lack of continued support
A computer program was implemented at a hospital that required nurses to wait
until the patient arrived in the emergency room and was registered into the
program before orders for critical time-sensitive treatment could be written.

How could this program become a barrier to the nurses attempting to deliver
patient-centered care?

The computer program could intimidate the nurses and cause them to shy away
from the patients.

The time spent waiting for the program to register the patient could allow the
nurses to restock patient rooms.

The computer program could interest the nurses more than the patients do, thus
entertaining the nurses away from their focus on the patient.

The time spent waiting for the program to register the patient could delay critical
care being delivered in a timely manner.
