Electronic medical record (EMR) systems enhance patient care and safety by enabling instant data access and error prevention. Integrating the Perioperative Nursing Data Set (PNDS) into EMRs allows nurses to document care and demonstrate their vital role in achieving patient safety goals.

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Nursing Informatics
  • Patient Safety

Background:

  • Traditional paper-based medical records are being replaced by Electronic Medical Records (EMRs).
  • EMRs offer advantages in data accessibility, patient tracking, and error reduction.
  • Standardized nursing terminologies are crucial for effective documentation within EMRs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss the transition to an Electronic Medical Record system at Jackson Health System.
  • To highlight the integration of the Perioperative Nursing Data Set (PNDS) into the EMR system.
  • To demonstrate how integrating a universal nursing language can showcase nursing value and support patient safety.

Main Methods:

  • Case study of Jackson Health System's EMR implementation.
