The instructor is teaching the nursing students about electronic health records (EHR). Which student statement indicates the need for further instruction?
a. "I have had EHR instruction and understand the basics of the system. If I need assistance, I will ask for it."
b. "The EHR integrates the patient's health information documented by the entire healthcare team into one electronic system."
c. "The EHR can track problems and errors, which can direct quality improvement efforts in a given institution."
d. "I am proficient with a computer; therefore, I am completely prepared to use the EHR in any institution."
D
The EHR can vary according to institution and is employed through integrative technology for the entry of data from all healthcare professionals. Although a student knows how to use a computer, this knowledge may not directly translate so that the student is able to accurately document in any particular institution. A person needs to be taught the specifics of each system. A student who understands that even though the system has been taught to him also knows that the instructor will be a resource for EHR questions that may arise. The EHR generally integrates information to be used by the healthcare team. Data can be collected and analyzed multiple ways to evaluate and improve patient care.
