Development of an Electronic Medical Record System for the University of North Carolina Wilmington School of Nursing Academic Article uri icon

Abstract

  • The purpose of this project was to develop an electronic medical record (EMR) system for use by the University of North Carolina Wilmington’s School of Nursing (SON) faculty and student nurses in their new medical practice simulation laboratories. This system was designed to educate faculty, beginning practitioners at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and staff in Southeastern North Carolina to develop new skills and augment current skills in health care technology. The implementation of this EMR system required the development of a database and user interface according to the client’s specifications. Presently, the EMR system is live and being used by the School of Nursing (SON) faculty and students in their instructional laboratory meetings. The goal of this project was to build the foundation for the SON’s EMR system. Future work includes further development of the system’s capabilities and functionality.
