Abstract
We describe VHA's information technology (IT) implementation from the providers' perspective, and identify factors influencing its effective implementation to improve care. We surveyed a stratified random national sample of 4227 clinicians from three VHA primary care provider groups: 1) physicians; 2) nurse practitioners, physician assistants; and 3) nurses. Facility-level IT support availability was rated across six dimensions: 1) access to literature/evidence, 2) computerized decision support, 3) computerized clinical data, 4) error reduction, 5) provider communication, and 6) patient communication. Factor analysis identified a 5-item scale (IT clinical support, á = 0.76). Generalized estimating equation models identified factors influencing IT clinical support. Complete data from 123 hospitals (1777 providers) were included. IT clinical support was higher in urban hospitals (p
