| This study aimed to assess the challenges encountered in the
implementation of Electronic Health Records (EHR) and their impact on patient
safety in selected healthcare institutions in Batangas City.
A descriptive-quantitative research design was utilized, involving sixty-five
healthcare professionals selected through a combination of simple random
sampling and quota sampling from four hospitals: Batangas Healthcare Hospital
Jesus of Nazareth, United Doctors of St. Camillus De Lellis Hospital and Medical
Center, Saint Patrick’s Hospital Medical Center, and Batangas Healthcare
Specialists Medical Center. Data were collected through a structured,
self-administered questionnaire and analyzed using frequency distribution,
weighted mean, and inferential statistics. Ethical approval was obtained from the
College Research Ethics Committee, and research approval was sought from
each institution’s hospital director, chief nurse, and human resource
management.
Results revealed that the challenge related to cost received an overall
mean of 3.29, interpreted as agree. The challenge on lack of standardization had
an overall mean of 3.30, also interpreted as agree. Meanwhile, the challenge on
usability had the highest overall mean of 3.40, indicating a general agreement
among respondents. Among the profile variables, work area showed a significant
relationship with usability (p<0.05), while age, sex, education, and work
experience showed no significant relationship across all challenges. The findings
emphasized that usability, lack of standardization, and cost-related concerns
were major factors affecting the effectiveness and safety of EHR implementation.
These results suggest the need for improvements in system usability, consistent
standards, and cost-efficiency to ensure better integration and safer healthcare
delivery. |
