Participation in the study was voluntary and consent was implied by survey completion.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2003Overall, 432 (14%) of 3,121 inpatient nurses completed the survey. While nearly 80% of respondents indicated feeling very comfortable using computers for personal use, only 5% felt very comfortable navigating the EHR to document codes in real time. While 53% had documented codes in the new EHR, most admitted to documenting on paper with retroactive entry into the EHR. About 25% reported having participated in a code that was not accurately documented in the new EHR. All respondents provided specific suggestions for improving the EHR interface, and over 90% expressed interest in having opportunities to practice code documentation using simulated code events.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003Despite completion of training modules in code documentation in a new EHR, many inpatient nurses in a single institution feel uncomfortable documenting codes directly into the EHR, and some question the accuracy of this documentation. Improving EHR functionality based on specific recommendations from end-users coupled with more practice documenting simulated codes may ease EHR navigation, leading to nurses' acceptance of the EHR tool, more accurate and efficient documentation, greater nurse satisfaction and more appropriate quality improvement measures.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0041-1731340","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,23]],"date-time":"2021-06-23T22:55:20Z","timestamp":1624488920000},"page":"589-596","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Nursing
