Despite their benefits, EHR systems also present some challenges for nurses, such as:
Usability Issues: Some EHR systems can be difficult to navigate, leading to frustration and increased workload for nurses. Interoperability: Different EHR systems may not communicate effectively with one another, complicating the sharing of patient information across different healthcare settings. Training and Adaptation: Nurses may require significant training to become proficient in using EHR systems, which can be time-consuming and costly. Privacy and Security: Ensuring the confidentiality and security of patient information is a critical concern with electronic records.
