Abstract

Background: As health care continues to evolve, the electronic medical record (EHR) has emerged as an important decision-making tool. To ensure that nursing students work toward competency with the EHR, this study sought to gather information regarding how students use the EHR.

Method: Students in a direct-entry, prelicensure program were observed using the EHR during a simulation-based experience (SBE). Focus groups gathered qualitative student perceptions of EHR use.

Results: Minimal use of the EHR during SBE was identified. Students reported using the EHR for information gathering, validating findings, and nursing tasks.

Conclusion: This study highlights the need for more robust EHR development and program integration with SBEs in schools of nursing to better align with the clinical practice environment. More research is needed to evaluate how schools of nursing integrate the EHR and how nursing students use the EHR in health care settings to make patient-related decisions.

学生使用电子健康记录告知决策：一项试点研究。

背景：随着医疗保健的不断发展，电子病历（EHR）已成为一种重要的决策工具。为了确保护理学生能够胜任电子病历的工作，本研究试图收集有关学生如何使用电子病历的信息。方法：在基于模拟的体验（SBE）中，使用电子病历观察直接入学，执照预习课程的学生。焦点小组收集了学生对电子病历使用情况的定性看法。结果：确定了SBE期间EHR的最小使用。学生报告使用电子病历进行信息收集、验证发现和护理任务。结论：本研究强调了在护理学校中需要更强大的电子病历开发和与SBEs的项目整合，以更好地适应临床实践环境。需要更多的研究来评估护理学校如何整合电子病历，以及护理学生如何在卫生保健环境中使用电子病历来做出与患者相关的决策。[J].中国生物医学工程学报，2009;31(6):854-856。
