Methods To Evaluate Health Information Systems, Ping Yu, Hui Yu, Jeffrey Soar
Dr Ping Yu
To ensure the introduction of a health information system (HIS) is on track and will bring in the ex-pected outcomes, it is essential to evaluate the critical success factors at every stage of the system introduction life cy-cle. Based on comprehensive literature research and personal experience of evaluating HIS, the author proposes a multi -method approach that incorporates both quantitative and qualitative research, conceptualized through the DeLone and McLean Information Systems Success Model. The advantage of this approach is not only identifying the factors impacting on implementation success, but also distinguishing the critical factors from the less important ones.Thus it …

Challenges To The Adoption Of Mobile And Wireless Technology In Australian Aged Care, Ping Yu, Hui Yu
Challenges To The Adoption Of Mobile And Wireless Technology In Australian Aged Care, Ping Yu, Hui Yu
Dr Ping Yu
The Australian aged-care industry, which is still in the early stages of adopting information technology (IT), is seeking methods for improving efficiency. New mobile and wireless technology may be relevant. As nurses are always moving around beds, wards and community care centres, a mobile solution might suit their documentation needs. To date, however, no convincing mobile and wireless technology has been implemented in health-care. In order to provide IT solutions that satisfy the business needs and work practices of aged-care nurses, a study on the barriers to the adoption of mobile and wireless solutions for aged care has been undertaken. …
An Exploration Of Aged Care Nurse's Readiness And Ability To Use It In Their Work - Outline Of A Proposed Research, Ping Yu, Patrick Crookes, Sunaina Lobo
An Exploration Of Aged Care Nurse's Readiness And Ability To Use It In Their Work - Outline Of A Proposed Research, Ping Yu, Patrick Crookes, Sunaina Lobo
Dr Ping Yu
Dramatic changes in health care have led to a major restructuring of clinical nursing practice. In addition to data processing functions, computers are being used for assisting nurse care delivery such as monitoring patients, scheduling, order entry and result reporting, preventing drug interactions by cross-referencing drug compatibilities and warning appropriate staff of potential risks. This research will mainly focus on investigating the perceptions of use of clinical IT by aged care nurses. Aged care nurses' acceptance and ability to use IT to conduct every day tasks will be investigated.

The Changes In Caregivers' Perceptions About The Quality Of Information And Benefits Of Nursing Documentation Associated With The Introduction Of An Electronic Documentation System In A Nursing Home, Esther Munyisia, Ping Yu, David Hailey
Dr Ping Yu
Abstract PURPOSE: To date few studies have compared nursing home caregivers' perceptions about the quality of information and benefits of nursing documentation in paper and electronic formats. With the increased interest in the use of information technology in nursing homes, it is important to obtain information on the benefits of newer approaches to nursing documentation so as to inform investment, organisational and care service decisions in the aged care sector. This study aims to investigate caregivers' perceptions about the quality of information and benefits of nursing documentation before and after the introduction of an electronic documentation system in a nursing …

How Nursing Staff Spend Their Time On Activities In A Nursing Home: An Observational Study, Esther Munyisia, Ping Yu, David Hailey
Dr Ping Yu
AIM: This article is a report of a study to examine how nursing staff spend their time on activities in a nursing home. BACKGROUND: Few studies have investigated how nursing staff spend their time on activities in a nursing home. Such information is important for nurse managers in deciding on staff deployment, and for evaluating the effects of changes in nursing practice. METHOD: A work sampling study with an observational component was undertaken in 2009 with nursing staff at a nursing home. RESULTS: A total of 430 activities were recorded for Registered Nurses, 331 for Endorsed Enrolled Nurses, 5276 for …
Design An Automatic Appointment System To Improve Patient Access To Primary Health Care, Hongxiang Hu, Ping Yu, Jun Yan
Design An Automatic Appointment System To Improve Patient Access To Primary Health Care, Hongxiang Hu, Ping Yu, Jun Yan
Dr Ping Yu
Advanced Access model has been introduced in general practice in the United States to improve patient access to primary health care services for more than ten years. It has brought in the benefits of eliminating service provider’s waiting lists, improving patients’ timely access to services and reducing no-show rate. However, to implement this model, practices need to collect relevant information, develop contingency plans and set up practice strategies to balance the provision of care and patient’s demand. These tasks are not always easy to achieve. Understanding the requirements and constraints for effective management of patient booking is essential for developing …
Different Usage Of The Same Oncology Information System In Two Hospitals In Sydney--Lessons Go Beyond The Initial Introduction., Ping Yu, Senthilkumar Gandhidasan, Andrew Miller
Different Usage Of The Same Oncology Information System In Two Hospitals In Sydney--Lessons Go Beyond The Initial Introduction., Ping Yu, Senthilkumar Gandhidasan, Andrew Miller
Dr Ping Yu
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The experience of clinicians at two public hospitals in Sydney, Australia, with the introduction and use of an oncology information system (OIS) was examined to extract lessons to guide the introduction of clinical information systems in public hospitals. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 of 15 radiation oncologists employed at the two hospitals. The personnel involved in the decision making process for the introduction of the system were contacted and their decision making process revisited. The transcribed data were analyzed using NVIVO software. Themes emerged included implementation strategies and practices, the radiation oncologists' current …

Objectives: Canada and Australia share two priority areas for HI workforce capacity building: to support research and education. This presentation will discuss a collaborative, nationwide health informatics (HI) PhD/Postdoc training program in Canada, which demonstrates a potential solution to meet these priorities. The status of HI higher education in Australia is briefly reviewed. The potential solution in resolving workforce shortage in Australia through adopting overseas practice is discussed, such as implementing a similar collaborative HI research training program across the country. Background: A Think Tank organized by Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing in 2003 explored the issue of HI …
