Education and Training on Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) for health care professionals and students: A Scoping Review

Nursing undergraduates’ perception of preparedness using patient electronic medical records in clinical practice

“…35 While education providers currently teach clinical paper-based documentation as a mandatory requirement of safe effective clinical care, many countries are still not teaching undergraduate nursing students how to use EMR in readiness for clinical practice. 4,13,14 According to Nursing Informatics Australia and Health Informatics Society of Australia (NIA & HISA), education of undergraduate nurses in readiness to enter the workforce must include theoretical and practical tutoring on digital information and practical application in the healthcare setting. 36 Our study reported that 44% of third year students had received some basic EMR training from the hospitals and only 29% felt "somewhat" or "very prepared" to use EMR for the first time in the clinical setting.…”

“…Contemporaneous clinical practice in many countries now requires registered nurses to competently use patient electronic medical records (EMR) including observation/ vital signs and medication charts. [1][2][3][4] In those countries that have introduced EMR, it has been demonstrated to reduce adverse events due to miscommunication, or incomplete information and to provide guidance for data, clinical assessments and best practice decision-making. 5 With the improvement in patient safety, and better patient outcomes, EMR has now be introduced into most Australian public hospitals with a reported 48% of integrated EMR systems rolled out across the public healthcare sector in 2017.…”

“…13,14 A recent scoping review found only two Australian studies published on education and training on EMRs for healthcare professionals and students in the 19 year period, however both studies focused on medical students (January 2000-October 2019). 4 This apparent lack of curricula integration of digital health technology in Australian nursing programs has the potential to leave nursing students underprepared for their clinical experience in both public and private healthcare facilities. 14,15 In Australia, the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Accreditation Council (ANMAC) has identified that "it is essential that the management of information and use of digital technology should be a priority in entry-to-practice higher education nursing programs" (p.19) 16 .…”

Structural Model of a Training Computer Program for Improving Professional Skills of a Student in a Role of a District Polyclinic Physician

“…A number of short pilot projects of using a demo version of EMRs by BARS.MIS in the educational process in numerous cities of Russia was reported [9]. An example for using an educational EMR in a sub-internship was reported by Indiana University School of Medicine, USA [7]. It involved 16,602 graduated medical students in the period from 2012 to 2016.…”

“…In turn, medical universities are interested in preparing students for the future active work with MIS in the outpatient. In literature sources, the authors had found only isolated reports about special training of students to work with EMRs and MIS [7]. In this paper, we present an architecture and an interface of a training program, which repeats the main elements of an EMR.…”
