3 Academic EHR System Began as a five-year ( ) project funded by a U.S. Department of Education grant at The College of St. Scholastica Partnership with Cerner Corporation Real, live Cerner Millennium Suite EHR; inpatient and out-patient record. By Faculty for Faculty Faculty, student, and teaching-learning focused Subscription service began in 2005 as a means to share and sustain this teaching-learning innovation

4 The Academic EHR: an electronic record system enhanced for health education Develop proficiency with an EHR and other health information technologies Develop informatics skills at the point-ofcare for real world clinical decision making Interdisciplinary communications around actual clinical patients in the EHR Prepares healthcare students for critical thinking using real clinical situations through case-based learning

23 Using Academic EHR System in the Classroom Utilizing an EHR Critical Thinking using actual patient cases Making Abstract Ideas Concrete

24 Status Report Training Sessions held throughout summer and fall 80+ faculty trained 12 campuses utilizing Academic EHR 1,600+ students in nursing, HIT, and MA programs Early reviews are positive

25 Student Feedback 100% of respondents in Clinical Synthesis II (graduating RNs) agreed or strongly agreed with the following statement I feel I will be able to work with electronic medical records comfortably after my experience in Sim Lab. 80% agreed strongly with the following statement: My skills in data collection were enhanced through simulation experiences with the Academic Electronic Medical Record Exercises.

26 Student Feedback 100% of first semester PN students that responded to their survey agreed or strongly agreed to the following statement: The Academic Electronic Medical Record exercises made me feel comfortable with electronic charting.

27 Student Feedback From LPN student: I like the electronic charting that we are practicing on, and I feel that it will help us in the long run with getting a job. From RN student: I spent half of the time learning the new electronic charting system that was both challenging and informative. It was nice to see how an actual electronic chart looks rather than just hearing about them.

28 Faculty Feedback For the first time, yesterday I had a group of students who were back for more. I had them gather data and prioritize needs for Pristine 53, the leukemia patient. I found this was a great learning, thinking, prioritizing exercise for PN first semester students. As expected, they felt their first priority was to address the high wbc count and the patient's pain. I was able to help them see that most likely, the RN on their team will take care of the IV needs of this patient. They were able to see the emotional needs of this patient and how they can make referrals to SWS and pastoral care. As LPN's, they can really do some great listening and support, and direct them to services that are needed.
