Objective:
To analyze teaching and learning related to the electronic health record (EHR) in a technical nursing program, identifying weaknesses and strengths to inform improvements to the program's pedagogical project.
Method:
This qualitative, exploratory, descriptive study used document analysis and fieldwork with faculty members and students from a technical nursing program, using the World Café technique.
Results:
The analyses revealed gaps in the development of digital competencies and in theory-practice integration, associated with the lack of specific preparation for students to use digital tools such as the EHR. Still, participants recognized the importance of this technology in technical nursing training.
Final Considerations:
Teaching and learning related to the EHR in technical nursing education require continuous, cross-curricular integration of digital competencies into the Political-Pedagogical Project, along with stronger faculty development aligned with the demands of vocational education.
