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.
