Nursing science is continuously expanding by building on existing nursing knowledge in ways that have significant implications for nursing practice. An understanding of
different issues related to nurses and their use of IS will help in the development and introduction of IT in health care organizations and it will enhance the existing system. For example,
evaluating the current systems in hospitals from nurses’ perspectives will help to make the necessary changes to meet nurses’ needs at work.
Nurses’ use of IT reshapes their professional environment and influences the way they work in such ways as accessing patient information from any location at any time
(Priselac, 2003). It is important for hospital administrators and nurses’ leaders to consider factors related to nurses’ (IS) use, such as nurses’ involvement in system development and implementation. It is essential to support nurses by adapting or restructuring the appropriate
work environment to enhance their IT use. Additionally, nursing educators can design the essential educational and training programs for improving nurses’ IS use. For example, in- service education and training on how to use the system will improve nurses’ informatics skills and increase their self-efficacy to use IS efficiently.
