Evaluation of electronic medical records on nurses' time allocation during cesarean delivery.
The impact of the electronic medical record (EMR) on nursing workload is not well understood. The objective of this descriptive study was to measure the actual and perceived time that nurses spend on the EMR in the operating room during cesarean births. The investigators found that on average, nurses spent 40% of their intraoperative time on the EMR during cesarean births, and this time burden was distributed across the perioperative period.

A tailored letter based on electronic health record data improves gestational weight gain among women with gestational diabetes mellitus: the Gestational Diabetes' Effects on Moms (GEM) cluster-randomized controlled trial.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether a tailored letter improved gestational weight gain (GWG) and whether GWG mediated a multicomponent intervention's effect on postpartum weight retention among women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). The authors concluded that a tailored electronic health record-based letter improved GWG, which mediated the effect of a multicomponent intervention in reducing postpartum weight retention.
