Content: According to the Institute of Medicine, an EHR system has several key capabilities: 4
* It is a longitudinal collection of electronic health information for and about persons. * It provides immediate electronic access to person and population-level information by authorized users. * It provides knowledge and decision support to enhance the quality, safety, and efficiency of patient care. * It supports efficient processes for healthcare delivery. As knowledge workers, nurses must leverage clinical data from the EHR in order to: * optimize workflow and support clinical decision making
* tell the patient's story
* collaborate to foster knowledge translation
* leverage analytics to extract actionable knowledge
* use sharable, comparable data
* build evidence out of nursing practice. However, in spite of our best collective efforts, and after decades of implementing EHR systems, nurses still cannot consistently use big data for research or for reporting quality and patient safety outcomes. To advance the vision of a transformed healthcare system, nurses need a more coordinated structure where information can be easily and safely shared among patients, consumers, clinicians, and providers to enable improved outcomes, quality of care, and lower costs. This vision requires access to real-time, accurate, and actionable health information.
