NURS FPX 4040 Assessment 3  Annotated Bibliography on Technology in Nursing 

Among the core responsibilities of health care facilities is ensuring that patients get quality care through various means. Over the years, technological advancements have help healthcare stakeholders to come up with more effective and efficient technological applications that can improve the quality of patient care. One of such technological applications is electronic medical records, usually abbreviated as EMRs. EMRs have been widely regarded as the most applied E-health applications globally since they impact hugely on high-quality health care services and patient safety (Zhang & Zhang, 2016). Electronic medical records are dependable due to their versatility in communication functions, practice management, medication management, and documentation functions.

This paper presents an annotated bibliography analyzing peer-reviewed research articles dealing with the use of the electronic medical record in improving patient care.  One of the things that made me choose this technology is that with the continued improvements in data analysis, electronic medical records hold a real opportunity where the information can be exploited through data simulation and applications to help in improving patient care. To obtain relevant articles for analysis, I conducted a library search using different databases through the Capella University Library. Databases such as CINAHL, Pubmed, Cochrane Library, and DynaMed were used to search the articles using Electronic, medical, quality care, and health records as terms.
