A recent survey on the current state of information technology adoption by U.S. nurses indicates that many believe that current security requirements impede productivity. Spyglass Consulting Group, a market intelligence firm and consultancy, published the survey, "Healthcare Without Bounds: Point of Care Computing for Nursing," according to a December 17, 2007 press release.
The report indicates that nurses were "concerned their IT organizations are implementing stringent security policies that protect patient health information at the expense of impeding nursing productivity," says the press release. Nurses reported logging in and out of systems upwards of 80 times per day, according to the survey.
