The electronic health record and patient-centered care / Laura Cline

Electronic health records (EHRs) are consistently used by external organizations to track the quality of care provided based on the information documented in the medical record, which affects hospital accreditation and reimbursement. However, there's concern that technology may cause some patient to feel as if nurses and other practitioners are documenting for the institution instead of caring for them. Therefore, with the integration of bedside nursing and EHRs, nurses must understand the impact of technology on patient-centered care to safeguard the dynamic relationship between the patient and nurse.
