Technology is increasing the complexity in the role of today's nurse. Healthcare organizations are integrating more health information technologies and relying on the electronic health record for data collection, communication, and decision making. Nursing faculty need to prepare graduates for this environment and incorporate an academic electronic health record into a nursing curriculum to meet student-program outcomes. Although the need exists for student preparation, some nursing programs are struggling with implementation, whereas others have been successful. To better understand these complexities, this project was intended to identify current challenges and success strategies of effective academic electronic health record integration into nursing curricula. Using Rogers' 1962 Diffusion of Innovation theory as a framework for technology adoption, a descriptive survey design was used to gain insights from deans and program directors of nursing schools involved with the national Health Informatics & Technology Scholars faculty development program or Cerner's Academic Education Solution Consortium, working to integrate an academic electronic health record in their respective nursing schools. The participants' experiences highlighted approaches used by these schools to integrate these technologies. Data from this project provide nursing education with effective strategies and potential challenges that should be addressed for successful academic electronic health record integration.
技术正在增加当今护士角色的复杂性。医疗保健机构正在整合更多的健康信息技术，并依靠电子健康记录进行数据收集、沟通和决策。护理教师需要让毕业生为这种环境做好准备，并将学术电子健康记录纳入护理课程，以实现学生培养计划的目标。尽管存在让学生做好准备的需求，但一些护理项目在实施过程中遇到困难，而其他项目则取得了成功。为了更好地理解这些复杂性，本项目旨在确定将学术电子健康记录有效整合到护理课程中的当前挑战和成功策略。以罗杰斯1962年的创新扩散理论作为技术采用的框架，采用描述性调查设计，从参与国家健康信息学与技术学者教师发展项目或erner学术教育解决方案联盟的护理学院院长和项目主任那里获取见解，这些项目致力于在各自的护理学院整合学术电子健康记录。参与者的经验突出了这些学校用于整合这些技术的方法。该项目的数据为护理教育提供了有效策略以及成功整合学术电子健康记录应解决的潜在挑战。
