Abstract

Toward 503 hospitals evaluated by Japan Council Health Care (JCHC), the questionnaire survey was conducted and analysed according to 2 groups of pre-2005 and post-2006 system introduction. As the result, it was found that despite with the annual improvement in the e-healthcare chart system function, both information system and users’ operation were insufficient with concern of medical accidents: About sixty per cent of the hospitals have experienced information-system-related harmful incidents. Among the hospitals that implemented information security education of health information system, 60% had triggered harmful incidents, and preavoid experience. In contrast, 40% of hospitals without information security education had triggering experience. We found preavoid experiences in 70% of those reported no preavoid experiences. There is a possibility that the organizational development for information literacy raises the consciousness of users towards harmful incidents through the accumulation of information on such incidents.
