| There has been significant growth in implementing electronic health records (EHR) to provide physicians and nurses with access to accurate information about their patients at the time it is needed. Most EHR research has studied the physician adoption of EHRs and other e-Health technologies. Very little research has been conducted in how nursing training programs are preparing students to use these technologies in the field. This study investigates types of technologies that nursing programs teach; students perceptions of EHRs and their preparedness to use those systems; and how nursing training has affected nurses use of EHRs. |
