With increased consideration being given to technological supports as a way to increase productivity, much attention is being paid to automated documentation systems. The purpose of this study was to determine (A) if bedside documentation technology decreased the time nurses spent in documentation activities and (B) if time of day, location, and quality of documentation differed between automated and nonautomated units. Nurses on the automated unit were able to decrease time spent in documentation activities and they were able to increase time spent in direct patient care. Some increase in standby time also was reported. Nurses were not able to increase patient loads as a result of this technology alone. Managers must consider ways to maximize use of time saved as a result of technology. Nurses on the automated unit were able to update care plans more easily and, along with other professionals, reported both positive and negative aspects of the printed output.
随着人们越来越多地将技术支持视为提高生产力的一种方式，自动化文档系统受到了广泛关注。本研究的目的是确定：(A)床边文档技术是否减少了护士用于文档活动的时间；(B)自动化和非自动化科室在记录时间、地点和文档质量方面是否存在差异。自动化科室的护士能够减少用于文档活动的时间，并且能够增加用于直接护理患者的时间。报告还显示待机时间有所增加。仅这项技术并不能使护士增加患者护理量。管理人员必须考虑如何最大限度地利用因技术而节省的时间。自动化科室的护士能够更轻松地更新护理计划，并且与其他专业人员一起报告了打印输出的积极和消极方面。
