The pro of using the EHR is the fact that it results to a reduction in medication errors since all patient health histories and diagnosis are legible and easily accessible. Moreover since every member of the health care team is required to document all their assessment and interventions of their patient then all relevant patient information from different clinician is available for the next health shift to continue patient care. On the other hand, a con of EHR, based on my experience is the delay it causes when it comes to documentation. Most times during a twelve hour shift, the nurses spend more time on documentation of nurses’ note than patient care. With the fear of not being sued in the future, they tend to make their documentations lengthy
