Abstract
Background: Nursing documentation within electronic medical records (EMRs) is crucial in paediatric palliative care.
Methods: A scoping review was conducted to assess the state of nursing documentation in EMRs following Arksey and O'Malley's framework and Joanna Briggs Institute methodology.
Results: Out of 1723 records, six studies were included. Electronic nursing documentation was used to record basic assessments, medication management, wound care management, catheters and devices management. EMRs should be simple to use, text searchable and have specific places for specific documentation. The participation of end users in development could make the system more efficient and complete.
Conclusion: Electronic nursing documentation in paediatric palliative care signifies a notable evolution from traditional paper methods. Future research is essential to ascertain electronic nursing documentation needs, leverage technology advancements and explore artificial intelligence integration possibilities.
