| Abstract | ||||
| Background Technology is increasing the complexity in the role of today‟s nurse. Healthcare organizations are integrating more health information technologies and relying on the Electronic Health Record (EHR) for data collection, communication, and decision-making. Nursing faculty need to prepare graduates for this environment and incorporate an EHR into a nursing curriculum. Aim of study: Was for designing and implementing EHRs software for intern-nurses by using advanced mobile devices. Design: A quasi-experimental design was utilized. Setting: This study was conducted in different units in medical and surgical clinical departments at Benha University Hospital. Subjects: Representative simple random sample consisted of 25% of internnurses (60 intern-nurses) of Benha Faculty of Nursing. Tools: Data of the present study was collected by using three tools; First tool: Intern-Nurses' Knowledge Questionnaire, Second tool: Intern-Nurses' Technological Skills (Observational checklist) and Third tool: Intern-Nurses' Attitude Questionnaire. Result: The highest percent of intern-nurses (90%) had adequate knowledge scores about EHRs at immediately post-program implementation phase , the majority of them had high technological skills level required for using EHRs, and positive attitude toward EHRs at follow up and immediately post-program from the preprogram implementation phases (83.3% ,76.6%, 86.7% & 85.0%) respectively. Conclusion: There was highly statistically significant positive correlation among intern-nurses knowledge regarding EHRs software with their technological skills and attitude toward EHRs software at pre- program, immediate post and follow up program implementation phases. Recommendation: The hospital administration should take the necessary steps to develop proper information communication technology infrastructure required for EHRs records utilization with AMDs in clinical practice and gradual introduction of an EHR software system in the general hospital. | ||||
