Previous studies have described the determinants of successful information technology (IT) implementation. In 2003, Kukafka et al. integrated several theoretical perspectives and proposed a framework for IT implementation. This framework is applicable to IT implementation in general but lacks the identification of factors affecting adoption, which are specific to the technology under consideration. We developed and validated a model that specifically identifies factors associated with clinicians' adoption of computerized protocols. The purpose of this paper is to identify the relations between the specific factors associated with intention to use computerized protocols and the high level variables that constitute the framework proposed by Kukafka et al. Incorporation of a specific model into a general schema for IT implementation allows implementers to assess the specific individual, organizational and environmental changes required to bring about successful implementation of computerized protocols. An understanding of clinicians' perceptions specific to the technology in use will allow its seamless integration into an organization's healthcare IT plan. Strategic planning requires enhancing the framework with additional detail related to the specific technology under consideration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is the report of the first phase of a case study from the University of Utah to help students and faculty integrate electronic information management into the nursing curriculum. Cerner AES, a live-production clinical information system with an academic overlay, has been implemented into the first semester of an undergraduate nursing program. A consortium of schools that use Cerner AES collaborate in the design and implementation of forms used by students. The consortium also allows members to share strategies for using the system. By using the system students are developing needed informatics competencies for beginning level nurses. The paper discusses the implementation strategies used and initial results of this project. Plans for expanding the project throughout the nursing curriculum are also presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

With massive amounts of mobile health data generated by patients, there is a growing amount of research conducted to understand their impact on patient care. The MeSH heading for patient generated health data was established in early 2018, complicating searches for PGHD research prior to 2018. In conducting a search of scientific databases, keywords are presented along with their degree of representation in the literature to help inform future searches.
