Its main function is to record patients' medical visit experiences, examination results, medication usage and treatment plans, etc., and it can also store this information on a secure and easily accessible digital platform (Prathiwi et al., 2025). With EMR, medical staff can quickly search for and share data, which not only makes the patient care process more coherent, but also solves the problem of information lag that often occurs in paper records (Sutha et al., 2025). The digital characteristics of EMR can also integrate information from multiple aspects to form comprehensive and real-time updated patient profiles, providing reliable basis for doctors to diagnose and formulate treatment plans. In terms of information management, using electronic medical records to manage information can effectively enhance the accuracy and completeness of medical documents. It can automatically input information, provide a unified record template, and update the content in real time, greatly reducing the problems of record errors and information omissions (Sutha et al., 2025). Meanwhile, EMR has secure information storage and access management methods, which can not only ensure that important information can be found in time when needed, but also protect the personal privacy of patients (Prathiwi et al., 2025). The various reports generated by EMR also provide important data support for improving medical quality and conducting scientific research. 4.2 Typical applications of nursing safety Electronic medical records are usually closely integrated with clinical decision support systems (CDSS) to provide nurses with evidence-based nursing guidelines, reminders and early warnings, helping them identify abnormal test results, possible drug interactions, and offer intervention suggestions. CDSS embedded in EMR can also mark incomplete records or point out operations that do not conform to standard procedures, thereby making nursing work more standardized and responsibilities clearer (Alexiuk et al., 2023). Allergy reminder is a typical function of electronic medical records to enhance medication safety. This system can automatically compare the allergy history of patients with the prescriptions issued by doctors. Once a potentially dangerous drug combination is detected, it will immediately issue a warning to avoid using harmful drugs for patients. Furthermore, EMR enables smooth information sharing among teams from different disciplines, thereby enhancing cross-departmental collaboration. Medical staff can access the latest medical records and keep abreast of the diagnosis and treatment progress of patients in a timely manner. This can reduce the risks caused by poor communication and discontinuous care (Sutha et al., 2025). 4.3 Results of safety improvements The use of electronic medical records can reduce errors in medical treatment. EMR can automatically input medical instructions, provide real-time reminders, and has a standardized recording method. These functions can all reduce the risks brought by human error and misjudgment (Prathiwi et al., 2025). Studies have shown that after the use of EMR, medication errors have significantly decreased, and the proportion of doctors practicing medicine in accordance with clinical guidelines and the quality of medical records have also improved. In terms of traceability, EMR can establish detailed time-marked records for nursing work, greatly enhancing the transparency and analytical value of process data (Douma et al., 2024), and it also provides a data basis for the continuous improvement of medical quality (Sutha et al., 2025). In addition, the EMR content is complete and easy to retrieve. It can not only provide support for scientific nursing work, but also enable patients to participate more in diagnosis and treatment through functions such as the patient portal, thereby improving the overall quality of nursing (Adeniyi et al., 2024). Although there are still problems in terms of acceptance by medical staff, complexity of information and system compatibility, a large number of studies have proved that EMR plays a key role in enhancing inpatient safety, strengthening traceability capabilities and improving the quality of care (Sinaga and Sumartini, 2025).
