Sixty percent of nurses report high levels of EHR satisfaction when delivering patient care, compared to 42 percent of physicians.
Rates of EHR satisfaction are higher among nurses than physicians, particularly during tasks related to patient care delivery.
This finding comes from a recent KLAS report about EHR use in nursing.
“The majority of the care delivery support that occurs in the EHR is completed by nurses,” wrote KLAS researchers in the report. “While this time spent in the EHR reduces the amount of time nurses have to spend on direct patient care, nurses still spend more time with patients than physicians do, and Arch Collaborative data shows that the majority of nurses agree that the EHR benefits patients.”
