Perioperative nurses reported mixed experiences with new Electronic Medical Record systems in the operating suite. Optimization is needed to improve patient care efficiencies and user experience in this specialized setting.
Area of Science:
- Healthcare Informatics
- Nursing Practice
- Qualitative Research
Background:
- Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems are increasingly implemented in healthcare settings.
- The operating suite presents unique challenges for EMR integration and adoption.
- Understanding perioperative nurses' perspectives is crucial for successful EMR implementation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore perioperative nurses' experiences and perceptions following the implementation of an Electronic Medical Record system.
- To identify challenges and benefits associated with EMR use in the operating suite.
- To provide insights for optimizing EMR systems in specialized surgical environments.
Main Methods:
- Exploratory qualitative study design.
- Five semi-structured focus groups conducted with 20 registered perioperative nurses.
- Thematic analysis using Braun and Clarke's framework (2022).
Main Results:
- Four key themes emerged: Adapting to EMRs, User Experience, EMR Design, and Delivery of Patient Care.
- Participants expressed a mix of positive and negative responses to the EMR implementation.
- The study highlighted the comprehensive nature of patient data collection but noted areas for improvement.
Conclusions:
- EMR implementation in the operating suite elicits varied responses from perioperative nurses.
- EMR systems offer comprehensive patient data collection but require optimization for specialized environments.
- Further enhancements to EMR design and usability can improve efficiencies and patient care delivery in the operating suite.
