Abstract
Like any skill in nursing, preparing students for the changes in technology needs to be incorporated into the curriculum. Electronic Patient Records (EPR) are an example of technological innovation in health care. This article presents a case study of how one faculty of healthcare, working collaboratively with a web designer, created and implemented a simulation activity to enable student nurses to develop their skills in using EPRs. An evaluation study was undertaken into students' perceptions of undertaking the simulation activity and using EPRs in the simulation activity. Findings showed that students were positive about the simulation activity and using the EPR app in the simulation, and felt well-prepared for using EPR in practice.
