Sumario:Best practices in postpartum care encourage rooming-in to promote early breastfeeding and mother-newborn bonding. However, when the medical records of mothers and newborns are stored separately in the postpartum ward and the neonatal nursery, respectively, nurses encounter difficulties in accessing complete information about the mother-infant dyad, which results in suboptimal care quality. Accordingly, the authors designed an integrated electronic information (e-information) system linking the medical records of newborns and their mothers and implemented it in April 2022 at a medical center in Taiwan. System effectiveness assessment results indicated that before the implementation of the e-information system, the nursing care completion scored 72.4 out of 100, and the nurse satisfaction scored 80.9 out of 100. After the implementation of the system, the nursing care completion increased to 97.8 (p < .001), while the nurse satisfaction rose to 95.8 (p < .001), demonstrating significant improvements.
