Electronic medical records (EMRs) has been expected to decrease health professional workload. The NASA Task Load Index has become an important tool for assessing workload in many domains. However, its application in assessing the impact of an EMR on nurse's workload has remained to be explored. In this paper we report the results of a study of workload and we explore the utility of applying the NASA Task Load Index to assess impact of an EMR at the end of its lifecycle on nurses' workload. It was found that mental and temporal demands were the most responsible for the workload. Further work along these lines is recommended.
电子病历（EMR）有望减轻医疗专业人员的工作量。美国国家航空航天局任务负荷指数（NASA Task Load Index）已成为评估许多领域工作量的重要工具。然而，其在评估电子病历对护士工作量影响方面的应用仍有待探索。在本文中，我们报告了一项工作量研究的结果，并探讨了应用美国国家航空航天局任务负荷指数来评估电子病历在其生命周期结束时对护士工作量影响的效用。研究发现，精神和时间需求对工作量的影响最大。建议沿着这些思路进一步开展工作。
