This document discusses the challenges of capturing patient histories electronically. It identifies gaps in digitizing the history taking process, including privacy concerns, the need for specialized skills, and issues with user experience, data processing, time consumption, lack of standardized procedures, burnouts, satisfaction levels, electronic chart reviews, health record conflicts, big data analytics, dependability, data security, nurse-patient relationships, technical issues, and increased malpractice cases. Overcoming these challenges is important for improving patient care, satisfaction, and reducing financial losses for healthcare facilities.

4. CHALLENGES OF CAPTURING
RICH PATIENT HISTORIES IN
A COMPUTABLE FORM
Rich (good) data collection is always crucial in the nursing
process as it serves as the basis for making diagnosis,
planning, implementing and evaluating.
Poor collection of data will result in lower quality of patient
care, unsatisfied patients and a huge financial loss to the
entire hospital facility.
Therefore, it is very important to focus on the gaps in the
process of history taking in a computable form. These gaps
can be termed as the 'Smart healthcare challenges.
