Integrating EHRs and Nursing Informatics
Electronic health records (EHRs) are now at the centre of nursing work, holding assessments, care plans, medications and observations. Nursing informatics brings together nursing, data and technology to make these systems safe, useful and easy to use.
The Integrating EHRs and Nursing Informatics session at Nursing Science 2027 brings together nurse informaticians, clinical nurses, IT teams and researchers. Well-designed records support everyday nursing practice and patient care, while poorly designed ones add to workload.
Key Topics in Integrating EHRs and Nursing Informatics
- EHR design, usability and nursing workflow
- Reducing documentation burden
- Standardised nursing terminologies
- Clinical decision support in nursing
- Interoperability and health data exchange
- Nursing data, dashboards and quality metrics
- Barcode medication administration and e-prescribing
- Patient portals and patient access to records
- Data privacy, security and confidentiality
- Informatics competencies and training for nurses
Recent Advances in Integrating EHRs and Nursing Informatics
Many hospitals are redesigning EHRs to cut duplicate documentation and give nurses more time for patients. Embedded decision support can now prompt guideline-based care, helping put evidence based nursing into practice at the point of care.
Nursing data is also becoming a powerful source for AI and predictive tools, explored in AI and emerging technologies in nursing. As more data is shared, protecting patient privacy and consent remains essential, a theme in nursing ethics, legal aspects and patient advocacy.
Who Should Attend the Integrating EHRs and Nursing Informatics Session
- Nurse informaticians and clinical informatics leads
- Chief nursing information officers
- Clinical nurses and EHR super-users
- Health IT and EHR implementation teams
- Quality and data analysts
- Informatics researchers and educators
