Effects of Implementing a Barcode Information Management System on Operating Room Staff: Comparative Study
ABSTRACT
Background:
Barcode information management systems (BIMS) have been used in operating rooms to improve the quality of medical care and administrative efficiency. Previous research has demonstrated that the agile development model is widely used in information system development and management. However, the effect of information systems on staff acceptance has not been studied in clinical medical information management systems.
Objective:
This study explored the effects and acceptance of applying a BIMS compared with the original information system (OIS) among operating room staff.
Methods:
Eighty operating room and supply room staff members of a medical center were recruited. A mobile-based structured questionnaire, including participant characteristics and the information management system scale (IMSS), was used to collect data from January to August 2020.
Results:
The results showed that the BIMS had a higher overall quality score than the OIS (103.78±17.15 vs. 102.23±19.83). Significant differences in rapid data reading (p < 0.05) and usefulness (p < 0.05) were observed between the BIMS and OIS.
Conclusions:
Health information technology systems must be available, efficient, effective, and compatible with the user’s past experiences, needs, and educational level for high usage motivation. BIMS can be applied to operating and supplying rooms to improve the quality of medical care and administrative efficiency.
