What is it about?
The purpose of this study was to examine the nursing informatics competency and the quality of information processing among nurses in Jordan. The study was conducted in a large hospital with 380 registered nurses. The hospital has introduced the electronic health record (Hakeem system) in 2010. The measures used in this study were personal and job characteristics, self-efficacy, Self-Assessment Nursing Informatics Competencies, and Health Information System Monitoring Questionnaire. The convenience sample was consisted from 99 nurses who used the electronic health record for at least three months. The analysis showed that nine predictors have explained 22% of the variance in the quality of information processing; whereas the statistically significant predictors were nursing informatics competency, clinical specialty, and years of RN experience. There is a need for policies that advocate for every nurse to be educated in nursing informatics and the quality of information processing.
