Epic Clinical Informatics-Focused CLN102-Focused (April 1 - October 31, 2021)
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 healthcare team and improve clinical workflows within the EHR.
This course includes the same general content as CLN102, but at a faster pace and focuses more on specific knowledge and skills that are needed for certain settings (e.g., ambulatory settings) and different organizations. The intent of the course is consistent across individual sessions. Agenda topics may be modified slightly for each session and general session start/stop times may vary. However, the amount of time learning content does not change, learning objectives are addressed in each session, and learners receive training to prepare for certification.
Elements of Competence

This program is designed to meet the needs of physicians, nurses and advance practice nurses, as well as other Clinical Builders who have interest in acquiring advanced competence in Epic's EHR.
