This dissertation investigates the impact of electronic health records (EHRs) on the work efficiency of nurses in acute care settings. It analyzes the benefits of EHRs, such as improved patient care and streamlined workflows, while also examining the barriers to their adoption, including lack of resources and technological complexity. The study reviews relevant literature, including theories such as human relations and systems theory, to understand how EHRs can improve nursing performance. The research encompasses various aspects including rationale, scope, aims, objectives, and research questions, along with a discussion of methodologies, data collection, and ethical considerations. The findings provide insights into how EHRs can enhance nurses' productivity, improve patient outcomes, and address challenges in acute care environments. The study concludes with recommendations for effective EHR implementation and optimization in healthcare settings.
