Non-compliant nursing documentation contributes to discontinuity of care and decreased patient safety, while manual recording systems have been shown to waste nurses' unproductive work time. This study aims to analyze the effect of a digital nursing management system on nursing documentation compliance, identify its impact on nurses' work efficiency, and explore factors influencing its successful implementation. The method used was a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental pre-post test with control group design involving 72 nurses at Karawang Regional General Hospital, divided into an intervention group and a control group of 36 people each through purposive sampling. The results showed that the implementation of the digital system significantly increased documentation compliance from an average of 61.4 to 84.7 in the intervention group (p = 0.000), and resulted in an average documentation time savings of 23.3 minutes per shift. Digital literacy competency, institutional management support, and the quality of information technology infrastructure were identified as the main determinants of successful implementation. These findings confirm that digitizing a nursing management system is an evidence-based intervention capable of transforming clinical documentation practices while measurably increasing nursing workforce productivity. The implementation of a digital nursing system needs to be accompanied by strengthening human resource capacity and consistent institutional commitment.
