Course Overview
To lead the maintenance of an electronic health record, clinical informaticists need to understand key workflows, the language to support key tools, and how to manage the health of a patient population through reports. The clinical informaticists make key decisions during the EHR implementation and maintenance process, and they need to understand the implications of those decisions on nurses and patient safety.
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.
