What role do nurses play in the implementation of EMRs?
Nurses play a crucial role in the successful implementation of EMRs. They are often involved in the initial stages of system selection and customization to ensure it meets clinical needs. During the implementation phase, nurses contribute to workflow design and process mapping. They also act as trainers and support staff, helping their colleagues adapt to the new system. Post-implementation, nurses provide feedback to continuously improve the system's functionality and usability.
