The Analysis of Medical Adverse Events Related to Electronic Health Records in Nursing Services

摘要

This pilot study investigated problems of electronic health records (EHR), which have been used by nurses as a clinical decision tool. The investigation was conducted based on case records retrieved from the national database of medical adverse events. Detailed data related to nursing services must continue to be collected to establish a clearer linkage of EHR data and scholary information. Electronic health records (EHR) contribute to the collection of a large amount of patient data and thus are useful to provide effective nursing care. Data collected from the EHR can also be used to perform high-quality safety management of patients. Moreover, EHRs are expected to play an important role in connecting the scholary information map [1] with nurses' information behavior that we previously proposed.The purpose of this pilot study is to analyse problems of EHR when it is used as a clinical decision tool for nurses.
