Respiratory Therapist User Satisfaction Survey Results. Respiratory therapists were asked to respond yes or no to the following questions: 1) Do you feel that ICIS has had a positive impact on patient safety? 2) Are there fewer unintended consequences since ICIS was implemented? 3) Has the medication alerting system impacted safety? 4) Has your workflow efficiency as an RT improved? 5) Has the time decreased from when the order is generated until it is carried out? 6) Do you feel that the quality of care delivered has been positively impacted upon by ICIS? 7) Do you think the ICIS system is more cost effective than paper? In addition, in question number 8, respiratory therapists were asked to rate their overall user satisfaction with the ICIS system and pager notification (response range 1 to 5: 1=Very Poor, 2=Poor, 3=Adequate, 4=Good, 5=Very Good).
