Utilising mobile electronic health records in clinical education

Abstract

Health information technologies (HIT) are increasingly being used in clinical environments to manage patient care (Graham-Jones, Jain, Friedman, Marcotte, & Blumenthal, 2012 ). The use of electronic health records (EHRs) in particular is now considered an integral part of primary care and hospital practice (Blumenthal & Glaser, 2007 ). The potential advantages of EHRs in health care are numerous, but importantly include greater efficiencies, and improved quality of care and patient safety.
