hospitals will have better resources available to them compared to smaller hospitals. The resource input versus output per patient will determine how beneficial, if at all, an EHR system would be for that hospital (Ginn et al., 2011). An EHR system can be technically demanding and time consuming for the personnel managing it. Usability is a key component of EHR implementation, especially for nurses. Although doctors use an EHR system along with the other staff, nurses are the primary and

For the most part, EHRs improve communication by doing away with handwriting errors, reduce time pulling charts, and enable multiple staff to simultaneously work on the same patient chart. [7] The EHR also has a remarkable potential to improve quality of care through CPOE and further, aids in the measuring quality and performance data.[6] Studies, however, have shown mixed results regarding medical errors and adverse events with the use of CPOE.[6] 3.2.1 RESEARCH Prior to EHRs, information about
