The Academic EHR System The Academic EHR Subscription System was developed at the College of St. Scholastica in Duluth, MN as the ATHENS Project with funding by a grant from the U.S. Department of Education, Title III Program (2002-2007). Details about the project can be obtained at http://www.css.edu/x1314.xml. In October 2004, the ATHENS Project received national recognition when Dr. David Brailer, at that time the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology, described it to an audience in Washington, DC as a groundbreaking effort to bring computer-based information systems to classes for healthcare students. Details about the event are available by going directly to http://news.css.edu/events/2004/athens/. Health professions students and faculty access the Academic EHR Subscription System via a secured Internet connection to a remote-hosted environment located in Kansas City, MO at Cerner Managed Services. The Academic EHR Subscription System involves several applications from Cerner s HNA Millennium suite:, Knowledge and Content, Open Management Foundations, PowerVision and ProFile. In combination, these applications provide health professional students with a very robust, integrated electronic medical record and health information system that supports their professional education and ensures their readiness for practice in a healthcare industry that is rapidly being transformed by health information technology. The Academic EHR Subscription, was initiated in Spring, 2006 by the Center for Healthcare Innovation at The College of St. Scholastica to provide schools across the nation with an economical way to share in the system and benefit from the educational advantages it provides. As the transition to an electronic health record gains momentum, healthcare delivery will need to dramatically reinvent the way it collects, processes and uses health information. A workforce capable of innovating, implanting and using health communications and information technology will be critical to healthcare s success.
