electronic health records

Integration of care through digitalisation of paper records is important for childbearing women who may see multiple clinicians both within the hospital and the community. It is important that in the implementation of an EMR, the established benefits of a paper and handheld records are transferred and not lost. Acceptance and positive use of digital records in maternity settings has occurred despite concerns regarding workload interrupting women centred care.
