“…Identifying technology that allows students to practice EHR skills in a safe, simulated environment is essential for assuming the clinical and professional FNP role. Several articles describe the process and benefits of implementing an academic EHR in simulated experiences for graduate NP students 32–37 . A quality improvement project reported that 73% of 52 undergraduate and graduate nursing students had improved self-rated knowledge and confidence using an EHR after an academic EHR was incorporated into simulated learning activities in the curriculum 32 .…”

“…We included articles in our review that discussed NP students because most of the articles do not specifically differentiate FNPs in the sample. Among the 12 articles, two were quantitative research, 28,31 six described initiatives to implement academic EHRs in simulation, [32][33][34][35][36][37] and four described using EHRs in simulated interprofessional education (IPE) activities. [38][39][40][41] We also reviewed the reference lists for four published literature reviews on the topic of simulation and EHR training for health professionals, and none of the studies discussed in these reviews included NP students in the sample population.…”

Learning to use electronic health records is essential for family nurse practitioner students to inform practice and clinical decision-making. Limited access to electronic health records during clinical training can lead to suboptimal use. Academic programs often rely on healthcare organizations to provide opportunities for students to learn electronic health record skills. However, clinical experiences are highly individualized, and students may not have access to electronic health records. Alternatives are needed to develop this critical competency. This study compared self-reported ratings regarding comfort and access to electronic health record documentation between students who participated in screen-based simulation and students who completed traditional clinical experiences with a preceptor during the last 70 hours of clinical training in one family nurse practitioner program. There was a significant difference in electronic health record access between students who participated in simulated versus traditional clinical experiences (P = .002). There were no significant differences in ratings of comfort using electronic health records between groups. Both groups reported limited access to electronic health records in the first 500 hours of clinical experience. However, students who participated in screen-based simulation reported a quarter-fold increase in electronic health record access during their last 70 hours of clinical training.

In fact, the education and training of practicing clinicians is essential when initiating profession-wide efforts, such as promoting wide-spread use of electronic records, as practicing clinicians make up the vast majority of the profession.…”

Context: The effective use of electronic records (ie, electronic health/medical records) is essential to professional initiatives and the overall advancement of the athletic training profession. However, evidence suggests comprehensive patient care documentation and wide-spread use of electronic records is still limited in athletic training. The lack of formal training and education for clinicians and students are often cited as primary barriers to electronic records use. Other healthcare disciplines have used academic electronic health records (AEHR) systems to address these barriers with promising results. Objectives: To identify common challenges associated with the effective use of electronic records in clinical practice, discuss how an AEHR can address these challenges and encourage more effective use of electronic records, and describe strategies for deploying AEHRs within the athletic training profession. Description: The AEHR is an electronic records system specifically designed for educational use to support simulation learning among all types of learners (eg, practicing clinicians, students). Mimicking the form and function of an EHR, the AEHR offers various educational tasks including patient care documentation projects, critical reviews of standardized patient cases, and assessments of patient care data for quality improvement efforts. Clinical and Research Advantages: Recent evidence suggests the use of an AEHR can improve knowledge and enhance skills. Specifically, AEHR use has been associated with enhanced attitudes toward EHR technology, enhanced informatics competencies, and improved documentation skills. Also, the use of an AEHR has been associated with improved critical thinking and decision-making skills. AEHRs appear to be valuable tools for health professions education and athletic training stands to benefit from AEHR use to better train and upskill clinicians and students alike for clinical practice. Although the implementation of an AEHR will require much time and large-scale coordinated efforts, it will be a worthy investment to address current challenges and advance the athletic training profession.
