The introduction of electronic health records has created a shift in the way nursing care is delivered (McBride, Delaney, & Tietze, 2012; Furukawa, Raghu, & Shao, 2010). A factor which heavily influences a nurse’s ability to navigate and utilize EMR is adequate education in the use of computerized documentation (McBride, et al., 2012). There is an increased risk for error at the bedside without the correct knowledge and skills regarding EMR documentation (Kelly, Brandon, & Docherty, 2011). This skill should be introduced during the pre-licensure education of the nurse.

Reducing "Failure To Rescue" Occurrences: A Pilot Project Incorporating High-Fidelity Simulation During Mock Codes, To Enhance Pediatric Nurses' Clinical Knowledge And Skills, Denise Dawkins
Doctoral Projects
Thanks to advances in technology, the survival rate of infants and children with critical illnesses has improved. One consequence has been an increase in the acuity levels of hospitalized pediatric patients, which may heighten the risk of in-hospital cardiopulmonary arrest. Patient safety can be compromised by nurses who do not detect subtle clinical changes in a patient's condition, do not perform accurate interventions, or do not apply critical thinking (failure to rescue). The Institute of Medicine (10M) in 1999 estimated that approximately 100,000 people died each year as the result of poor care.
