Question

Resources in Healthcare Simulations on What main resources would you need to integrate an academic electronic health record in healthcare simulations (with and without human patient simulators)? Include staff in the discussion.

Answer 1

Integrating EHR in an academic curriculum improves the students in many aspects. It develops the critical thinking skills of a student nurse and improve patient safety. Clinical simulation empowers the student to document patient information more specifically. The resources need to integrate medical simulation are patient-related scenarios, HIT laboratories, software, COPE and soap format. Spreadsheet development, treatment documentation, lab results retrieval, admission protocol, discharge planning, increase student involvement and participation in EHR. Students trained with this chart improve their workflow efficiency when entering into clinical practice. Patient-based simulation scenarios make the students in easy handling of EHR documentation. Thus the health care simulation improve the student literacy over EHR, reduces additional training cost and thereby improves the patient care, minimizes the overall health care cost. It increases student clinical opportunities.
