Development of a Cloud-Based Electronic Nursing Record System (ENR) for Nursing Student Practice

Area of Science:

• Nursing Informatics
• Educational Technology
• Health Information Systems

Background:

• Clinical education requires practical experience with electronic health records.
• Students often face challenges transitioning from theoretical knowledge to clinical practice with electronic nursing records (ENR).
• Improving the clarity and accessibility of nursing information is crucial for effective patient care and education.

Purpose of the Study:

• To develop a cloud-based electronic nursing record (ENR) system for academic purposes (Academic-EMR).
• To enhance nursing students' adaptation to clinical environments through hands-on ENR experience.
• To improve the clarity of nursing records and overall nursing information capabilities.

Main Methods:

• Development of a cloud-based ENR system.
• Integration of virtual patient content to simulate clinical scenarios.
• Focus on improving student access and usability of the ENR system.

Main Results:

• The developed Academic-EMR system aims to facilitate student learning and skill development.
• Enhanced student access to ENR is expected through diverse virtual patient modules.
• Anticipated improvement in the clarity and quality of nursing documentation.

Conclusions:

• The developed Academic-EMR system is poised to bridge the gap between nursing education and clinical practice.
• Improved ENR accessibility and usability are expected to enhance nursing students' clinical readiness.
• This initiative is projected to increase the efficiency of nursing work in clinical settings.
