Abstract
Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) have transformed healthcare by improving documentation, communication, and patient care efficiency. However, challenges such as inadequate training, poor infrastructure, and resistance to adoption continue to hinder their effectiveness, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This study assessed the effectiveness of EMRs in improving workflow efficiency and identified barriers to their adoption among healthcare workers at Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital (NAUTH), Nigeria.
