Purpose:The study developed a paperless nursing report approval system using Microsoft Power Platform to enhance efciency and transparency. Method:An action research approach was adopted to design and implement a cloud-based approval platform using Power Apps. The system integrated access control, electronic signatures, and automated notifications. Approval time, rejection rate, and completion rate before and after implementation were compared. System performance was further evaluated through user surveys and cost-beneft analysis. Result: Following implementation, an average of 112 reports were approved per month, and approval time decreased from2–3 days to within 3 hours, with a 100% completion rate and a 65% reduction in the rejection rate. User satisfaction was 100%. The system saved 65.3 work hours per month, equivalent to approximately NT$157,000 annually. Based on an emission factor of approximately 1.3 kg CO2 per kilogram of paper, the annual reduction of 1,344 sheets corresponded to an estimated reduction of 8.7 kg CO2. Conclusion: The system significantly improved approval efficiency, reduced labor costs, and enhanced transparency, demonstrating the feasibility of low-code development in nursing administration. The system can be implemented hospital-wide to support smart, paperless management aligned with environmental, social, and governance principles.
