Abstract
With the passage of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act in 2009, Texas nurses were faced with the rapid uptake of technology driven by this legislation. Texas Nurses Association and Texas Organization for Nursing Leadership formed a partnership to collectively track the impact on practicing nurses. The Health IT Committee was commissioned to evaluate the changing health information technology environment and associated solutions. As such, a study in 2015, entitled "Statewide Study Assessing the Experiences of Nurses with their Electronic Health Records," was conducted. The follow-up study in 2020 was conducted to compare 2015 and 2020 findings to identify improvements made on nurses' satisfaction with EHRs and identify improvement opportunities. The study design was an exploratory descriptive comparative analysis with a cross-sectional survey from a random sample of Texas nurses for the two study periods of 2015 (n = 1177) and 2020 (n = 1117). The Clinical Information Systems Implementation Evaluation Scale and a demographic survey including the Meaningful Use Maturity-Sensitive Index were the measurement instruments. Results and key covariates are discussed along with recommendations for achieving more mature EHRs and more mature organizational culture and leadership.
