The use of electronic health records (EHR) has changed the quality of clinical documentation and improved quality of patient assistance, allowing better communication between health professionals and increased data recording that helps the nursing assistance process. The use of mobile devices for compiling data at the assistance moment has increased, and more studies have demonstrated its usefulness. The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of mobile devices in the nursing staff of the Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires, in a pilot test to measure their use and user satisfaction.
