Technology is increasing the complexity in the role of today’s nurse. Healthcare organizations are
integrating more health information technologies and relying on the electronic health record for data
collection, communication, and decision making. Nursing faculty need to prepare graduates for this
environment and incorporate an academic electronic health record into a nursing curriculum to meet
student program outcomes. Although the need exists for student preparation, some nursing programs
are struggling with implementation, whereas others have been successful. To better understand these
complexities. designing and implementing electronic health records software for intern-nurses by using
advanced mobile devices. A quasi-experimental design was utilized. this study was conducted at Benha
University Hospital. intern-nurses were chosen randomly to be included in this study. data of the
present study was collected by using three tools;( )Intern-Nurses' Knowledge Questionnaire, ( )
Intern-Nurses' Technological Skills (Observational checklist) and( )Intern-Nurses' Attitude
Questionnaire. The highest percentage of intern-nurses had a good knowledge about AMEHRs, highly
acceptable level of technological skills for using EHRs software, and positive attitude toward
AMEHRs software throughout immediate post and follow up from the preprogram implementation
phases. the study concluded that there was highly statistically significant positive correlation between
their knowledge regarding AMEHRs software with their technological skills required for toward using
AMEHRs software, with total performance scores and attitude toward AMEHRs software at preprogram,
immediate post and follow up program implementation phases. the study recommended that;
Academic nurse leaders should establish nursing informatics skills for nursing students and nurses by
continuing education, training and classroom teaching with practical classes. Also need to integrate IT
based NI into the nursing theory and practical session in order to improve nursing informatics skills
and address unwarranted variations and enhance outcome.
