Research Recent Within The Last 5 Years Electronic Health Records E Research recent (within the last 5 years) Electronic Health Records (EHR) implementation issues by searching online or within the Rasmussen Library. Discuss at least 2 issues identified, such as healthcare providers’ issues (physicians, nurses, and other users). Explain the challenges. How could these be mitigated? What do you think should be done? Reflect on your own experiences if you have encountered challenges, either professionally or as a patient, with EHR.
Paper For Above instruction Electronic Health Records (EHR) have revolutionized the healthcare industry by improving the accessibility and management of patient data. Over the past five years, the implementation of EHR systems has faced significant challenges that impact healthcare providers and patients alike. This paper explores two prominent issues associated with EHR implementation, delving into the challenges they pose, proposing mitigation strategies, and reflecting on personal experiences with EHR systems. **Issue 1: User Interface Complexity and Usability Challenges** One of the most reported issues in recent EHR implementations pertains to the complexity and usability of the user interface. Many healthcare providers, including physicians and nurses, have expressed frustration over what they perceive as non-intuitive, cluttered, and cumbersome interfaces (Kellermann & Jones, 2013; Upadhyay et al., 2018). Despite technological advancements, EHR systems frequently require extensive training and adaptation, leading to inefficiencies and increased cognitive workload for users. The complexity often results in errors such as incorrect data entry, delays in documentation, and even the avoidance of certain functionalities due to perceived difficulty, which can compromise patient safety (Shanafelt et al., 2016). The challenges associated with poor usability are particularly problematic given the fast-paced environment of healthcare settings. Clinicians often spend significant time navigating the system rather than engaging with patients directly. This not only hampers workflow efficiency but also impacts clinician satisfaction, contributing to burnout (Sinsky et al., 2019). Furthermore, complex interfaces can hinder comprehensive documentation, affecting the quality of patient records and downstream clinical decisions. Mitigation strategies for usability issues involve designing user-centered EHR systems that prioritize clinician input during development phases. Incorporating modern design principles such as simple
