Abstract
In recent years, nursing practice has been notably impacted by the development of computer technology. As a result the practice of nursing informatics has increased drastically. One of the most notable technologies to develop in this area has been the electronic medical records (ERM) system. The overall benefits and utility that can be garnered through the use of the ERM system has made it a focus for national healthcare development. Despite the benefits of this technology, scholars have noted some daunting drawbacks. This investigation reviews the benefits and drawbacks of ERM systems. Further, it considers the application of these systems to nursing practice and how nurses can facilitate successful development and implementation of electronic medical record systems.
