Shared EHRs bring numerous benefits to nursing practice, enhancing both workflow efficiency and patient care. Some of the key benefits include:
Improved Coordination of Care: Nurses can access updated patient information from multiple healthcare providers, improving the coordination of care and reducing the risk of errors. Efficient Documentation: EHRs streamline the documentation process, freeing up more time for nurses to spend on direct patient care. Better Decision Making: Access to comprehensive patient data supports informed decision-making, leading to better patient outcomes. Medication Management: EHRs include features like electronic prescribing and alerts for potential drug interactions, which enhance medication safety.
