Content: patient-centered care, nursing, technology, electronic health record, and impact. The review revealed a mostly negative connotation associated with the use of EHRs in healthcare. According to Hunt and colleagues, many practitioners don't believe that EHRs capture the full extent of the patient's healthcare needs. 1 Instead, they require practitioners to fit the patient's signs and symptoms into premade boxes that may not accurately represent the complexity of his or her clinical status. An article by Dillard-Wright suggested that the creation of EHRs shifted nursing priorities from being patient-oriented to task-oriented and inadvertently decreased nurses' ability to think critically. 3
Additionally, a nursing survey found that most nurses were unhappy with EHRs and didn't believe the information technology department was able to develop an adequate and beneficial documentation system focused on patient care. 4 According to Hoover, nurses feel that EHRs are time-consuming and decrease time at the bedside. 4
Moreover, as EHRs relate to data collection, they've shifted the focus from the patient to institutional and organizational priories. 5 For example, a review by de Ruiter and colleagues mentioned the development of the Braden Scale and the requirement to document patient repositioning every 2 hours to prevent pressure injuries as institutional priorities rather than patient-centered ones. 5 The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services won't reimburse institutions for expenses related to certain preventable adverse events such as hospital-acquired pressure injuries.
