Abstract Most hospitals across the globe are extensively depending on electronic data as opposed to paper-based documentation. Electronic record systems have been designed to ease the work of practitioners not only in the medical field but also in other areas. The major focus of this paper is to propose a change in inter-shift Critical Care Unit reporting method from handwritten to electronic data entry method which has greatly changed the long-established procedure of record keeping in hospitals. Electronic Medical Record system has greatly impacted the management of medical records, patients and staff in the entire health industry. The system enhances communication thereby making service delivery more practical and effective. Healthcare control and context improves leading to better performances in most healthcare facilities. Despite the fact that introduction of Electronic Medical Record systems constrains the budgets of scores of health facilities due to the cost of implementation as well as training needs, the system enhances the success level of most hospitals both in record management, management of manpower and management of patients.

The proposed unit reporting system support the SBAR communication system and JCAHO National Patient Safety Goals.
