Integrative review of clinical decision support for registered nurses in acute care settings.
To report on the state of the science of clinical decision support (CDS) for hospital bedside nurses, the researchers performed an integrative review of qualitative and quantitative peer-reviewed original research studies. They concluded that clinical support systems targeting bedside nurses have positive effects on outcomes and hold promise for improving care quality.

A systematic review of nurses' experiences with unintended consequences when using the electronic health record.
The purpose of this article is to present the state of the science on nurses' experiences with unintended consequences of electronic health records (EHRs). Findings demonstrate that nurses experience changes to workflow, must continually adapt to meet patient's needs in the context of imperfect EHR systems, and have difficulty accessing the information they need to make patient care decisions. Implications for nurse administrators include the need for continual engagement with nurses along the continuum of EHR design, as well as the need to encourage nurses to speak up and acknowledge workflow changes that threaten patient safety or do not support work efficiency.
