Abstract: Nursing practice has been revolutionized by the incorporation of computerized health information systems into clinical settings, which have improved workflow efficiency, supported evidence-based decision-making, and improved patient data management. The efficacy in enhancing clinical decision-making and nursing practice requires a thorough assessment. The purpose of the research is to examine how computerized health information systems affect clinical decision-making, patient safety, and nursing workflows while identifying critical elements that affect efficacy in various healthcare settings. A comprehensive survey with an emphasis on system usability, integration into clinical processes, and perceived influence on patient outcomes was administered to 210 registered nurses from different hospital units. To achieve a comprehensive assessment, a mixed-method approach was used, combining qualitative observations and quantitative statistical analysis. It examines how computerized health information systems boost multidisciplinary collaboration, increase documentation accuracy, and assist clinical decision-making in real-time. To investigate the connections between system effectiveness, user experience, and clinical performance, descriptive and inferential statistical methods were used, such as regression analysis and structural equation modeling (SEM). Results show computerized health information systems greatly enhance decision support, clinical workflow effectiveness, and documentation accuracy. It emphasizes how crucial computerized health information systems are to contemporary nursing practice. Maximizing the influence of systems on patient care and decision-making requires improving system design, ensuring training is appropriate, and matching features with clinical requirements.
