The impact of nursing students' use of electronic health records in the home setting.

The purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions of senior undergraduate nursing students and perceptions of home care clients regarding the use of a new electronic health record and its impact on client care and communication. Findings indicate that providing students with the opportunity and time to become familiar with the use of computers during client care in the educational environment allows them to move more comfortably from a computer-focused visit to client-focused nursing care.
