Abstract
While EHR adoption has tripled in 2015 compared to 2009, there is research that demonstrates adoption can result in unintended consequences for nurses. Little is known about experiences with unintended consequences from EHR implementation from the nursing perspective, and few studies have been conducted to investigate this. Through a review of 4 original studies, it was found that while nurses experience workflow changes, difficulty accessing important patient information, and must continually adapt to meet patients needs with imperfect EHR systems, they would prefer to stick with the paperless EHR system. To work around these issues, nurse administrators need to perform continual engagement with nurses throughout EHR design, and encourage them to speak up when changes made by the EHR would lead to harm to the patient.
