Qualitative interviews explore oncology nurses' views on technology-related safety events, indicating risks associated with clinical decision supports and EHRs.
Oncology nursing involves the use of advanced technologies, including electronic health records (EHRs), infusion pumps, and clinical decision support systems, which can enhance care but also introduce unintended safety risks. This study explored oncology nurses' perspectives on technology-related safety events, identifying contributing factors and categorizing outcomes using the Sittig and Singh sociotechnical framework and a health data-related harm matrix. Semi-structured interviews with 28 oncology nurses revealed diverse safety concerns linked to technology use. Preliminary findings will synthesize event types, contributing factors, and harm outcomes, emphasizing the importance of reporting and infrastructure improvements to mitigate risks and enhance safety.
