Abstract
The trend toward computerized systems within clinical settings changes the environment and has a major impact on nurses. Some of these changes are
-
1.
More formalized and structured job functions, thereby reducing flexibility and autonomy
-
2.
Newly created roles and a greater number of specialized occupations
-
3.
Clarification of roles and departmental functions
-
4.
Increased status differentiation (stratification) of occupations and organizational units (Farlee, 1978).
