| Abstract |
| The integration of hospital information systems (HIS) in clinical settings has become
essential in improving patient care and promoting the application of evidence-based
practice (EBP). This study aimed to determine the role of HIS in facilitating EBP in
selected hospitals in Batangas. A quantitative descriptive design was employed, involving
sixty (60) staff nurses from three private hospitals utilizing the Bizbox HIS. The
researchers used a validated survey questionnaire to gather data on respondent profiles
and their perceptions of the extent to which HIS supports EBP. Findings revealed that the
majority of respondents were female, aged 24 to 35 years old, with two to five years of
nursing experience, trained in HIS use, and frequently using the system per shift. Results
showed that HIS facilitated EBP to a very great extent across its components, particularly
in enhancing patient profiles, supporting nursing and ancillary services, and improving
requisitions, billing, and surgical documentation. Statistical analysis further revealed
significant correlations between HIS utilization and the integration of clinical expertise,
best evidence, and patient values in care delivery. Based on these results, an action plan
was proposed to strengthen HIS optimization and training programs, ensuring the
advancement of evidence-based, patient-centered care in healthcare institutions. |
