From clicks to connection: designing nursing content within an electronic health record that reflects person-centred relationships and choices.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Electronic Health Records (EHRs) are central to healthcare transformation, promising improved access to information, decision support, and safer care delivery. It acts as a central repository of all information pertinent to a person receiving treatment and is easily accessible. This paper presents a an experiential perspective and follow up from a nursing team who led the design, development, and evaluation of a person-centred electronic nursing record within an acute hospital setting. Guided by the Person-centred Practice Framework and participatory approaches to workplace culture development, the team collaborated with informatics specialists to redesign more than 120 assessments, diagnoses, interventions and outcomes that better reflect nursing values, patient choice, and local workflows. Through continuous attention to organisational structures, facilitative processes, and emerging cultural patterns, nurses achieved greater alignment between digital documentation and the realities of bedside practice. Evaluation data demonstrated improved nurse engagement with the EHR, enhanced therapeutic relationships, reduced documentation burden, and strengthened person-centred cultures across the organisation. These findings highlight the critical role of nurses in digital transformation and the need for meaningful input into EHR content design and governance. We argue that digital nursing documentation must reflect the complexity and relational nature of nursing practice, rather than prioritising technical tasks or disease-focused content. As national and international EHR initiatives advance, nursing leadership must influence system procurement, content customisation, and ongoing evaluation to ensure that digital records uphold professional values and support compassionate, holistic, person-centred care.
