Electronic health record adoption and nurse reports of usability and quality of care: the role of work environment.
This study assessed the role of electronic health record (EHR) adoption and work environment for nurses. If the EHR system has positive usability ratings it impacts quality of care. Over 12,000 nurses in 353 hospitals were surveyed.

Impact of home care admission nurses' goals on electronic health record documentation strategies at the point of care.
The article reports on a study designed to investigate documentation strategies used by home care nurses with respect to entering electronic data during admission as well as the effect of nursing goals on the process. This was done to characterize admission nurses' practices at the point of care and to establish a basis for design recommendations for electronic health records (EHRs). Five nurses in rural Pennsylvania home care agencies were observed during the admission process. The results of the study lead the authors to recommend that EHR design and training should support the manner in which home care nurses document patient encounters.

Usability evaluation of a dashboard for home care nurses.
Usability tests were conducted on a creation of a dashboard prototype for home care nurses for their patients’ electronic health records (EHRs). The prototype was created by first observing and interviewing several nurses; getting feedback on paper versions of the dashboard; and then a usability evaluation of the electronic prototype. The dashboard was positively evaluated.
