In December 1993, Intermountain Health Care (IHC) placed a moratorium on the installation of bedside computers in the acute care setting unless information could be obtained to justify resumption of these installations. A survey was developed and administered to nurses at two IHC hospitals. The survey results indicate that acute care nurses value bedside computers and believe that IHC should install them at other facilities. In addition, the acute care nurses estimate that they are using the bedside computers over 75% of the time during the day shift to document vital signs/measurements and intake/output quantities. Based on the results of this survey, IHC has decided to continue installing bedside computers in the acute care setting.
1993年12月，山间医疗保健公司（IHC）暂停了在急症护理环境中安装床边计算机的工作，除非能获取相关信息以证明可以恢复这些安装工作。为此开展了一项调查，并对IHC两家医院的护士进行了调查。调查结果表明，急症护理护士重视床边计算机，并认为IHC应在其他机构安装。此外，急症护理护士估计，他们在白班期间使用床边计算机记录生命体征/测量数据和摄入量/排出量的时间超过75%。基于这项调查的结果，IHC已决定继续在急症护理环境中安装床边计算机。
