The Clinical Information System Implementation Evaluation Scale (CISIES)

The Clinical Information System Implementation Evaluation Scale (CISIES) is now two measurement instruments:

[New] The Clinical Information System Implementation Evaluation Scale Pre-measure (CISIES-Pre) and

The Clinical Information System Implementation Evaluation Scale Post-measure (CISIES-Post)

Both CISIES are 37 item measurement instruments to evaluate user satisfaction with the implementation of a clinical information system (CIS), whether a small “departmental” CIS, clinical module of an electronic health record (EHR) or an entire EHR.

The CISIES-Pre can be from 90-30 days pre go-live of the implementation of a CIS. 

The CISIES-Post can be administered from 30-90 days post CIS implementation.

The two measures can be used together to allow more power (the ability to detect relationships between variables) with smaller numbers of subjects. 

The CISIES can be used for formative purposes, to adjust on-going implementations, or summative purposes, to assist in judging the relative success of an implementation. 

The CISIES-Pre can also be used as a readiness for implementation measure.

 
    There is no charge for use of either CISIES instrument.  Our intent is to provide all the information you need to administer the CISIES and score and interpret CISIES data on this web site.
