Abstract :

Introduction: Activating the Paperless Hospital Information System involves a multi–disciplinary approach to prepare the new system, design practice workflows, train the care team and manage the adoption process. A thoughtful Paperless Hospital Information System implementation can help the practice adapt more easily to the new system, which will benefit patients, physicians and staff. Aim: The aim of the analysis is to assess the satisfaction of the staff with the existing hospital workflow system and to analyze the difficulties in implementing paperless hospital information system. Methods: The study is carried out among all the 50 staffs working in the hospital. The questions were designed with the objective of knowing the opinion of the staff. The answers were designed in 5–point Likert scale in which 1 represents strongly agree, 2 represents agree, 3 represents not certain, 4 represents disagree and 5 represents strongly disagree. Results: 60% of the staff has agreed that the existing workflow setup is satisfactory while 32% of the staff has disagreed and 8% were not certain about the existing setup. 16. Paperless hospital is a new concept to the hospital. The opinion results show that the staffs are eager to accept the new concept. We could infer that 78% of the staff agrees about the concept of paperless hospital. 10% of the staff strongly agrees and only 6% strongly disagree about the concept. Conclusion: The process dimension concerns the processes of change, made up of the plans, actions, reactions, and interactions of the stakeholders, rather than work processes in general.
