2 Objectives By the end of this presentation you will be able to: Understand the change control process adopted by nursing in government hospitals within Abu Dhabi Understand the impact of the identified change control process on the meaningful use of the electronic medical record Identify key outcomes achieved by utilising standardised change control process

3 Introduction Immature electronic health systems have been identified by nursing management to create inefficient working processes (Lammintakanenb, Sarantob, & Kivinenb, 2010) Research over the last 10 years has placed an emphasis on clinician involvement in design decisions does impact the successful implementation of digital health technologies (Black, Et Al, 2011)
