Improvement of the Nursing Work by the Introduction of the Electronic Medical Record System
In recent years, medical institutions have moved toward electronic medical record system (EMRS) to provide better medical care quality. As our ultimate objective is to measure the workflow improvement of the nursing staff by using EMRS, we initially examined use of EMRS and PMRS in the environment where EMRS has not completely replaced PMRS. Entering and gathering patient information takes place before and after the shift. The nurse leader and the junior nurses especially tend to work overtime. This is probably due to using both PMRS and EMRS at the same workplace. Moving more of PMRS tasks into EMRS will probably reduce the workload of nurses. The use of EMRS and PMRS also seem to differ based on the nurses experience. More detailed study is needed to get a better grasp on how EMRS and PMRS are used with factors like nurses experience, work style, responsibility, and the circumstance at the time of information gathering or entry taken into account. Furthermore, senior nurses should be involved in educating the junior nurses on how to use the medical record systems (both EMRS and PMRS) for information gathering, data entry and planning. Exchange of knowledge between senior and junior nurses is needed and should be encouraged.
