The effect of electronic medical records on medication errors, workload, and medical information availability among qualified nurses in Israel– a cross sectional study

Table 3 Regression analysis of main variables after the implementation of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) (N = 591)

Main variables assessed	Medical Information Availability	Medication Errors	Workload
F (p-value)	26.16 (< 0.001)	5.77 (< 0.001)	5.30 (< 0.01)
R²	15.2	5.7	2.6
Maximum VIF	< 1.1	< 1.1	< 1.1
Residuals distribution	[2.078–2.710]	[2.347–3.237]	[2.149–4.047]
Cook’s distance	[0.000–0.019]	[0.000–0.022]	[0.000–0.055]
Unstandardized and standardized coefficients– B (β)
Age	---	-0.003 (-0.033)	0.003 (0.032)
Gender	-0.587 (-0.188)^***	-0.146, (0.088)^*	-0.177 (-0.086)^*
Attitude before EMR implementation	0.369 (0.202)^***	0.218, (0.220)^***	0.124 (0.148)^***
Department	-0.675 (-0.246)^***	---	---

Note: Regression performed in Enter mode following negation of multi-collinearity (see maximum VIF values reported in the table). Age and attitude prior to EMR implementation were entered as continuous variables; Gender (0 = female, 1 = male); Department (0 = Emergency or intensive care, 1 = other)
^*p-value < 0.05 (two-folds) ^***p-value < 0.001 (two-folds)
