Several risks are associated with over reliance in nursing:
Loss of Critical Thinking: Nurses may become less proficient in critical thinking and clinical judgment if they rely too much on automated systems. Errors: An over reliance on technology can result in errors if the technology fails or provides incorrect information. Burnout: Over reliance on more experienced colleagues can lead to increased workload for those individuals, contributing to burnout. Reduced Patient Interaction: Dependency on EHRs for patient information may reduce the time nurses spend interacting with patients, potentially affecting the quality of care.
