EHRs have been a vital part of the health care professionals’ job. Sheridan (2012) stated that a decade-long of EHR promotion was initiated by President G.W. Bush in 2004, and was highlighted during the President Obama’s administration. Nowadays, the health care team members use EHR with almost every patient encounter. For APNs, EHRs affect their roles in myriad of ways. Narcisse et al. (2013) indicated that the advantages of EHRs include the e-prescribing that is strongly supported by CMS, enhanced safety related to the computerized warnings for possible medication errors, evidenced-based decision support through the literature links included in the EHR, cost-effective and increased productivity due to the diminished paperwork, easy accessibility and transferability of patients’ records.
