With the use of electronic health records by nurses, time saving and efficiency, reduction of error rate, improvement of communication and coordination, patient safety, increase in quality of care, and reduction of workload are provided. However, nurses experience difficulties such as technological inadequacies and need for training, feeling of burnout, data security and confidentiality, high cost and technological dependency when using electronic health records. This traditional review study was conducted to emphasize the importance of the use of electronic health records in nursing and to draw attention to the difficulties experienced. It is important to involve nurses in the process of creating electronic health record systems and to increase their awareness of the process.
