Association Between EHR Compatibility and Nurses' Emotional Exhaustion.

In this study we explored the relationship between nurses' emotional exhaustion and three EHR compatibility subdimensions (nurses' preferred work style, existing clinical practice, and values). We found higher emotional exhaustion with lower EHR compatibility for both preferred work style and existing clinical practice, but no relationship between emotional exhaustion and nurses' values. Efforts to improve EHR compatibility are recommended to mitigate nurses' burnout. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
