Despite their benefits, EMRs present certain challenges:
Usability Issues: Some EMR systems may not be user-friendly, requiring extensive training. Privacy Concerns: Ensuring the security and confidentiality of patient data is critical. Cost: Implementing and maintaining an EMR system can be expensive. Interoperability: Compatibility issues between different EMR systems can hinder data sharing. Workflow Disruption: Transitioning from paper records to EMRs can temporarily disrupt nursing workflows.
