Nurses play a crucial role in choosing information systems (IS) for healthcare facilities. Here’s how they contribute:

Identifying Needs: Nurses are the end-users who understand the daily workflows and challenges. Their input helps pinpoint functionalities a new IS must have to effectively support patient care and nursing tasks [1].

Evaluation and Testing: Nurses can assess how well a proposed IS integrates with their existing practices and workflows. They can also test the system’s usability and ensure it provides accurate and relevant information for decision-making [2].

Adoption and Training: Since nurses are the primary users, their involvement in selecting a system they find easy to use and efficient can significantly improve adoption rates and overall success of the new IS [3].

Future Considerations: Nurses can provide valuable insights on how the IS can evolve to address future needs and integrate with potential technological advancements in healthcare [5].

In short, nurses are essential partners in the decision-making process for selecting information systems. Their experience and understanding of patient care workflows are crucial for choosing a system that optimizes both clinical care and nursing efficiency.
