Survey Evaluation of the Tri-Service Laboratory Information System (TRILAB I) at Wright-Patterson USAF Medical Center.
Abstract
This report presents the results of physician, nurse, and laboratory staff surveys conducted at the Medical Center, Wright-Patterson AFB (Ohio) in early 1978 (2 1/2 years after installation of the system). The surveys were designed to measure acceptance of the Tri-Service Laboratory Information System (TRILAB I) and its impacts as perceived by the hospital staff. The principal findings of these surveys may be summarized as follows. Physician acceptance of TRILAB I has increased from 47 percent in Period Y to 86 percent in Period Z, while nurses' acceptance of TRILAB I has remained at about 70 percent. Nondollar benefits of TRILAB I perceived by physicians include improvements in patient care, ability to follow trends, legibility of reports, and report format. The job satisfaction of the laboratory staff has increased over the three observation periods. Laboratory staff perceptions of working conditions are considerably more positive than those in Period Y, and slightly more positive than those in Period X.
