Abstract

Since the time of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing, data obtained by nurses in relation to patient diagnosis have become the most important source in planning care. These data have now been transferred to electronic media. Electronic health records have increased the quality and safety of care, as well as helping establish accessible and holistic health records. In this process, while nurses try to rapidly adapt to the electronic health record system, they also experience work stress due to the difficult workflow and time pressure. However, in the current period of rapid digitalization, nurse informaticsts, with their increased skills and observation of user experiences, can be the key health personnel for every institution to develop and improve electronic health records.
