1. Discussion: Electronic Health Records
Discussion: Electronic Health RecordsDiscussion: Electronic Health RecordsElectronic
health records (EHRs) are at the center stage of the effort to improve health care quality
and control costs. In addition to allowing medical practitioners to access and record clinical
documentation at much faster rates, EHRs are also positively influencing care delivery and
nurse-patient interaction. Yet despite the potential benefits of EHRs, their implementation
can be a formidable task that has broad-reaching implications for an entire health care
organization. NURS 6051 Transforming Nursing & Healthcare Through Information
