title: [The role of electronic health records in medical education of persons with diabetes].
abstract: Nursing is faced with a requirement to improve the efficacy of health care services, with complete control of the work processes. The need to use work technology, which implies medical informatics knowledge and skills, arises naturally. While high-quality and best possible treatment depend on numerous factors, electronic record keeping can contribute to quality treatment. Data are entered by all health care providers and the patient. Nurses carry out therapeutic education as the basis of diabetes care. They teach patients self-monitoring or treatment adjustment skills, as well as problem coping procedures and skills, using various didactic tools, written and illustrated materials, audio-visual tools or computer simulations, and keeping electronic nursing records. The patient as an active treatment participant carries out blood glucose self-monitoring by means of quick reading device. This is part of the patient's personal electronic health record, which gives an insight into the individual's response to therapy, and is extremely valuable in the entire treatment.
