Specific objectives were to identify these factors, assess if there was proper EHR documentation, and investigate the impacts of effective EHR documentation and implementation. The research employed a quantitative approach. Data was collected through questionnaires administered to Health Information Management Officers at Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital and Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital. The scope was limited to these two hospitals. Key findings included the identification of factors hindering effective EHR documentation like inaccurate patient information, low internet speed, power supply issues, and lack of IT personnel and backup systems. It was also found that there were gaps in proper documentation processes for EHRs. Furthermore, the study highlighted the positive impacts of addressing these barriers such as improved patient-provider interactions and enhanced privacy and security of patient data. In conclusion, there are significant militating factors against proper EHR documentation and implementation. Overcoming obstacles like technological constraints and human resource limitations can lead to more accurate and holistic patient records, better coordination of care, and reduced medical errors. Key recommendations are increased government investment in hospital communication infrastructure, recruitment of more IT personnel, implementation of more robust backup systems and power supply, and training of Health Information Management Officers on EHR best practices. Addressing documentation issues is vital for improved patient care and outcomes....Preview Download Preview +Other Health Information Management project topics and materials you might be interested in»Analysis of filing system and consequences of misfiling»Evaluation of the problems and constraints facing health record keeping and professionals»Impact of health information management in healthcare delivery»Assessment of challenges of health information management practice in General Hospital Ilorin, Kwara State»Analysis of filing system and consequences of misfiling patients health records in University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Kwara state»A study into causes of misfiling among health information management professionals in health records department - case study of University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Kwara state»Evaluation of confidentiality of patient health records among hospital staff»Factors militating against effective documentation in health care delivery system in University of Benin Teaching Hospital Benin City, Edo state»Effect of lack of health information computerization in the primary health care system»Evaluation of patient appointment system - a case study of university of Ilorin teaching hospital»Causes and consequences of breach of confidentiality of patient health information in Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Lagos state»Impact of health statistics in the health care delivery system at University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin, Kwara State»Impact of electronic medical records on patients waiting time in health care delivery system in Federal Medical Center, Asaba, Delta state»Evaluation of the importance of health information management in primary health care»Knowledge and perception of health information management professionals on electronic coding for quality clinical data in University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin, Kwara state
