Abstract

With developing information technology, hospital information systems such as computerized provider order entry system (CPOE) and picture archiving and communication system (PACS) are being increasingly used by many hospitals. The hospital information systems improve the efficiency of hospital management and patient care. Currently, electronic medical records (EMR) are not used as much as CPOE and PACS. However, EMR will soon be the cornerstone of hospital patient care systems. Because EMR for the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is different from that for adult care unit, neonatologists should have a basic knowledge of EMR and should play an important role in implementing EMR system in NICU.
