A qualitative case study exploring nurse engagement with electronic health records and e-prescribing.
The purpose of this qualitative case study was to describe how nurses adapt to using an electronic health record with electronic prescribing (e-Rx) system in a rural ambulatory care practice. Findings showed that nurses adjust their routine in response to providers' preferential behavior yet retained focus on the patient and care coordination. e-Rx adoption increased workload and introduced safety risks.
