Content: Objectively measured research on patients' perceptions of patient-centered care was also limited. Most important, a literature gap was found relating to how nursing may facilitate patient-centered care in association with technology to improve patient satisfaction, patient outcomes, and healthcare in general. Integrating technology and patient care
These findings have important implications for nursing education. For example, nursing instructors need to educate their students about the impact of technology on bedside nursing. Instructors must incorporate solutions for integrating technology and nursing care during their lectures and clinical rotations. Moreover, students must understand how EHRs contribute to healthcare reimbursement and how technology may be used to involve patients and encourage them to take control of their own healthcare. For clinical nurses, EHRs have been associated with a shift from providing patient care to ensuring that all documentation is correct and completed. Most documentation requirements have been created for the purpose of meeting the institution's priorities, such as reimbursement, billing, quality, safety, and accreditation standards. Because nurses are the primary providers of bedside care, it's imperative that they understand how valuable their input is with regards to electronic documentation. Nurses must encourage their organization to engage them in EHR formatting so that EHRs accurately reflect nursing care and facilitate workflow and ease of use.
