ForwardEpic Clinical Informatics CLN102 (Jul 1 - Dec 31, 2020)
Statement of Need and Purpose
Healthcare is changing quickly with the electronic health record (EHR) matching this rapid pace. Clinical Informaticists need to continually increase their competence and skills to build, modify, and create efficiencies within the EHR, as well as understand the implications of their decisions on clinicians and patient safety. They also need the ability to work effectively among the interprofessional team and be liaisons between information technology and clinical operations.
To be effective in in this role and increase clinician satisfaction, Clinical Informaticists need to promote excellent communication among the healthcare team and improve clinical workflows within the EHR.
Elements of Competence
This CE activity has been designed to change learner competence and focuses on the American Board of Medical Specialities area of systems-based practice, Institute of Medicine areas of patient-centered care, working in interdisciplinary teams, and using information technology, and the Interprofessional and Nursing areas of roles/responsibilities and interprofessional communication.
