However, some hospitals still face challenges in implementing efficient computerized medical records (CMR). This study examined the benefits and barriers of CMR as a tool for effective clinical care at Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital, Nigeria. A descriptive research design was used with a sample of 52 medical records staff selected through random sampling from a population of 60. Data was collected via structured questionnaires and analyzed using frequency tables, percentages, and chi-square tests. 85% agreed CMR stores records well. 100% said confidentiality is maintained. 71% agreed CMR reduces patient wait times and 87% said CMR improves record management. 81% agreed CMR has advantages over paper records. 50% said clinical care is effectively delivered with CMR. 44% agreed CMR improves patient-provider communication. 77% agreed CMR enables health information exchange. 100% said patients cannot access records. 96% identified poor power supply as a barrier. 81% agreed to hospital planning and management impact CMR. 88% disagreed that CMR challenges outweigh the benefits. 100% identified political issues, power supply, and human factors as CMR barriers. The chi-square calculated value of 45.1906 was greater than the 3.84 tabulated value, so the study accepted that CMR is a tool for effective clinical care delivery.
