"message": "I have been part of this university for more than 25 years, working at its hospital since my student days. I am grateful for the opportunity to study here again as a graduate student. Having experienced the introduction of a nursing documentation system in clinical practice, I want to know whether it has not only reduced the documentation burden but also improved nursing workflows and the quality of care. I plan to examine this using workload data collected before and after the introduction of a nursing documentation support system."
