Abstract
Electronic health records (EHRs) play a critical role in the management of patient information and timely decision making in health facilities. In resource-limited settings, especially low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), nurse informaticists play a pivotal role in the implementation of EHRs. This article underscores their multifaceted responsibilities, emphasising critical contributions in vendor selection, system evaluation, workflow analysis, content development, end-user device assessment, training, and post-implementation stability support. By providing nurse informaticists in lower middle-income countries with a clear understanding of their responsibilities and tailored strategies, this article aims to enhance EHR implementation success in these unique contexts.
