Background Information technology is widely used by managers in healthcare settings in Saudi Arabia and has positive effects on healthcare systems. This study focuses on mangers’ perspectives on barriers, as healthcare system users and leaders. Method This work was conducted as a qualitative exploratory case study based on semi-structured audio-recorded interviews conducted at a hospital chain in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, using open-ended questions to provide in-depth information. Results The use of IT in healthcare settings has had positive effects, but many barriers can cause delays or problems in using IT, including hacking, human resistance to new technology and the need for experts in the field of IT in healthcare. Training and support of employees are leading solutions to the many problems encountered in implementing and using IT in healthcare. Conclusion The study identified the problems in using IT for the development of healthcare services and the positive effects on the services provided to patients, and indicated a need for further development and support.

“…Implementation of a successful health information system (HIS), such as an electronic health record (EHR) system, depends on its ability to meet complex system-, organizational-, and user-level requirements [3]. Providers in the United States received financial incentives to implement and properly use certified EHR systems, and other developed countries also implement advanced HIS [4]. EHR is defined as a repository of longitudinal patient information in digital form, stored and exchanged securely, and accessible by multiple authorized users.…”

Electronic health record (EHR) systems have the capacity to aid clinical decision making by providing timely and relevant information about patients. However, providers' lack of access to complete and upto-date information in the required format hinders their ability to make timely decisions and often leads to misdiagnosis or redundant, duplicate tests. This research evaluates the extent to which pre-adoption information quality expectations are met and their effect on post-adoption satisfaction with an EHR system in terms of information quality and the workarounds that they may generate. The hypotheses were empirically tested through analysis of the responses of 64 healthcare stakeholders. The results indicate that lower information quality was perceived post-adoption than was expected at pre-adoption of the EHR system. Ultimately, workarounds were found largely to be a direct result of dissatisfaction with the EHR system. The results have implications for remedies to workarounds in terms of policy, training, and EHR system features modifications.

Advancements in information technology and computer science have resulted in the development of computerized healthcare information systems. Information technology can optimize patient care through providing immediate electronic education. The purpose of this mixed-methods systematic review was to synthesize evidence from studies exploring nurses and nursing students' attitudes and beliefs regarding the use of technology in patient care. Electronic databases Academic Search Complete, CINAHL, MEDLINE, Education Full Text, PsycARTICLES, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection, PsycINFO, and ERIC were searched. The methodological quality of the studies was assessed using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. Convergent integrated synthesis was conducted. Eight studies were included. Technologies used in the reviewed studies include smartphones (n = 4) and Web-based information/ educational resources (n = 4). Overall, nurses and nursing students' attitudes and beliefs regarding the use of smartphone applications were positive. When compared with other healthcare professionals, nurses were more likely to have access to Web-based resources and to appraise the importance of such resources in patient education. Nurses and nursing students are in a prime position to use technology in patient care and education. It is important therefore that nurses' positive attitudes toward technology be reinforced to increase the use and application of Web-based and smartphone technologies in clinical practice.
