Īccording to a systematic review of literature. Illegible orders put the nurse at risk at delivering inappropriate care, which subsequently puts the patient at risk of injury, but with EMRs orders are input into computers and thus eliminating the issue of legibility. Without EMRs many physician input orders using pen and paper. In 2011, a study showed that the medication errors events decreased from 11.0 to 5.3 per month after the EMR medication administration was implemented. Medication errors can lead to adverse outcome for patients. In a study, 64.55% reported making medication error and 31.37% reported near misses. One of the most important tasks that nurses perform is to safely administer medications to patients. They think it will likely lessen their paperwork, improve their ability to monitor patient progress and decrease their workload overall. For the most part, the nurses thought positively about the EMR system. The nurses did think more negatively about the usability of the information in the EMR system. Most of the nurses thought positively for questions concerning impact of EMR system on clinical care, services quality, Information quality, Information Management and Nursing care management and they particularly feel that the EMR system is an important assest to the hospital. Ī study in 2013 asked nurses, in 4 hospitals in Turkey, how they viewed electronic medical records. Three anonymous surveys at interval three consecutive months regarding nurse satisfaction post EMR implementation at a tertiary medical center showed gradual increase in nurse satisfaction in areas like nurse workload, teamwork, ease of documentation, patient safety and medication information accuracy. By improving these interactions with the patient's records and orders prescribed by physicians, nurses feel that they are better able to care for the patient's and ensure the care they deliver is appropriate and effective to the patients. Ī study from 2008, found that nurses in general found a new EMR to be more efficient, accessible and improved accuracy. Majority of nurses reported that EMR allowed them to better monitor patient progress and finish work faster.
