Abstract

Background: An Australian academic electronic medical records (AAeMR) program was tested amongst third-year undergraduate nursing students at one large regional university. Methods: An inductive qualitative thematic analysis of focus group data was applied. Results: Four themes emerged 1) Being prepared for an e-change; 2) Is e-learning better or just different? 3) Learning to be safe using workstations on wheels in a safe environment and 4) Caring for patients when connecting with technology. Conclusion: Students identified the AAeMR software promotes the delivery of patient centred care and enhances their preparedness to use electronic records in clinical practice.
