The first Chinese Hospital Information Systems (HIS) was used as a pilot project at People's Hospital, of Beijing Medical University (BMU). To assess the computer knowledge, attitudes, and skills of nurses working in the hospital, and to examine the relationships among these factors, 169 staff nurses working on clinical units were surveyed by proportionate stratified random sampling. Computer knowledge, attitudes, and skills were measured, by a nurses' computer knowledge questionnaire (NCKQ), nurses' computer attitude scale (NCAS), and nurses' computer skill scale (NCSS), respectively, developed by the investigators. Data analysis showed that the overall computer knowledge and skills of nurses were at moderate levels and the computer attitudes were neutral. Nurses' computer skills were significantly and positively correlated with both computer knowledge and computer attitudes; however, no significant correlation was found between computer knowledge and computer attitudes. Strategies to enhance nurses' computer knowledge, attitudes, and skills were proposed.
After the selection of an information system (either a HIS or a NIS) the process of implementation is of vital importance to get the system up and running. This paper describes how an implementation process can be prepared and in which way skillful implementation can contribute intensively to the pleasure of right use of the system. The author has carried the final responsibility of very different implementation processes for about 10 years in a quite a number of hospitals. Based on this experience success factors and pitfalls are given. The paper addresses in the first place hospital- and nursing managers and is written to stimulate professional implementation. A process that can cause real pleasure and fine results when it is carried out on the right way.

The information technology revolution has transformed work from modest-paced serial processes to complex, fast-paced networked ones that depend not only on the technology but also on skilled and effective users of the technology. This evolution has woven a complex quilt of interdependencies among new information technologies, new users of those technologies, new skills required, new information management policies and procedures, and new opportunities. We must impose a new structure for managing the learning and work of new users, their tolerance of complexity and continuous learning, value-added usability, minimization of human error, and new support services for deployment, administration, and help.
The rapid expansion of computer use for various nursing activities has made computer technology an important part of the curriculum in many schools of nursing across the world. Computer technology has become an alternative tool for teaching practice skills to students in a variety of educational settings and disciplines. Information technology (IT) is not yet well recognized in the Lebanese nursing curricula. This article traces the events of planning, developing, integrating, and evaluating nursing informatics on the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) Program of the School of Nursing (SON), at The American University of Beirut (AUB), Lebanon.
Although still in its infancy, the World Wide Web presents unparalleled opportunities for harnessing the power of the Internet to collect data from populations of interest in an economical and efficient manner. Web-based surveys offer a number of strengths including access to specific populations, speed of data access, and decreased data collection and data entry costs. These advantages are likely to increase as more people begin to use the Web as their primary means of communication. Nurse researchers who embrace this technology will become the pioneers in the new age of nursing research.
