The medical establishment continues to attempt to reduce the nearly100,000 patient lives lost unnecessarily, annually since the IOM surveillance began reporting this as a problem in 1999 (IOM, 2010). Nursing is attempting to help solve this problem of untimely deaths. In order to do this, Dr. Watson encourages us to make more explicit the reality that if nursing is to survive in this millennium, it has to sustain and make explicit its covenant with the public.

Advantages of EHR over paper records include an expansive storage capability, availability of the data from many access points at the same time, and nearly immediate retrieval time (Gurley, 2003). The paper record is fragmented and depending on the charts used (e.g. some tend to fly open when dropped, causing paper to be scattered), pieces of the record can be lost. Additionally, when a patient is hospitalized more than once, their old chart must be retrieved in order to provide continuity of…
