Abstract

paper persistence workarounds electronic health records nursing documentation emergency medicine
The introduction of an electronic flowsheet for documenting resuscitations at an urban, pediatric teaching hospital provided a unique opportunity to study the transition from paper to electronic documentation. We examine the persistent use of paper as a workaround by nurse documenters during the adoption of new technology and how these workarounds become routinized in their work practices. We discuss the effects of paper persistence on aspects of documentation and nurses' workload.
