Abstrakt: An intranet is a beneficial tool, most commonly utilised and researched in corporate settings, but can also be found within healthcare. An organisational intranet has many of the same functions as the internet while also having a security firewall associated with it, meaning that only those with security access to the site are able to gain access. An evaluation study, using a two-phase process, of a Nursing Intranet within a healthcare organisation in one urban hospital in New Zealand is presented. First a content audit was undertaken, before using a selected framework to evaluate the content, design and functionality of the Nursing Intranet. The results from this evaluation identified some strengths, but also areas to improve. Further research, including the development of tools to evaluate intranets in a healthcare setting are needed to ensure information is more readily accessible to health professional staff.
