The results showed the efficiency of EHR for providing better quality health care to patients and improved time management. The study concluded that modern health needs the implementation of EHR to produce better health outcomes in the field of quality nursing care. EHR implementation has allowed the nurses to give better patient care and spend more time with patients.
