AIM: This study aims to assess the perception and satisfaction of nurses toward the electronic medical record system in a teaching hospital.

METHOD: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 350 nurses in a teaching hospital via a self-administered questionnaire between May to October 2019. Descriptive analysis, independent t-test, analysis of variance, and hierarchical multiple regression were used to analyze the data using Statistical Package for Social Sciences software version 25. In addition, a The Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) was used as guide in reporting the results of this study.

RESULTS: Almost all the nurses (98%, n = 343) had a positive perception toward the electronic medical record system, though their perceptions significantly differ across work units, computer or laptop ownership, and daily time spent on the system (all p < .05). Nurses who had received training reported better satisfaction with the system.

CONCLUSION: Among the issues highlighted by the participants that warrant attention were system development and connectivity. This study, therefore, emphasizes the involvement of nursing personnel in system development to ensure an appropriate approach for nursing care delivery.
