As healthcare continues going digital, it's crucial for nursing schools and nursing education programs to provide hands-on EHR experience. Adopting robust educational EHR solutions prepares the next generation of nurses for real-world demands. Read this guide on the key benefits of integrating EHR simulation into nursing curricula.
Nursing Students Can Finally Chart During Clinicals!!!
During clinical rotations, students get invaluable in-person training. However, maximizing clinical hours alone cannot provide enough hands-on learning for every student. Due to HIPPA laws and the privacy act students aren’t allowed to chart during their clinicals. State-of-the-art educational EHR solutions like ChartFlow allows students to chart during their clinicals solving a problem many nursing programs face. With Chartflow you can use the mobile version to chart wherever you are including using your camera for barcode scanning. Students use ChartFlow’s educational EHR for nursing programs for; medication administration, tracking/recording vitals, access records, and much more just as working nurses do. This builds confidence and familiarity in EHRs before entering healthcare settings.
Develop EHR Documentation Skills With Didactic Use In The Classroom
In addition to clinical rotations, didactic use of EHRs right in the classroom provides invaluable hands-on experience. Didactic EHR use refers to utilizing educational EHR systems for teaching lessons and reinforcing concepts through interactive exercises. Nursing instructors can configure EHR software like ChartFlow to allow students to practice vital documentation workflows, such as writing SOAP notes, entering mock vital signs, and recording medication administration records for pre built patient cases. Importantly, these patient profiles are completely customizable, allowing both instructors and students to modify details or create entirely new patients. These simulated cases can be assigned for individual or group work. With their own login credentials, each student can access the learning EHR system to complete realistic activities and scenarios that mimic real-world charting. This experiential learning cements proper EHR techniques and protocols. The classroom provides a lower-stakes environment for students to develop core EHR competencies didactically at their own pace. This prepares them for clinical environments where charting perfectly is crucial.
EHR Homework Assignments Develops Independent Skills
Assigning educational EHR activities as homework enables nursing students to hone documentation skills independently. With their own login, students can access the EHR platform from any device, including via user-friendly mobile view. This allows them to complete detailed charting exercises, practice entering patient histories, update mock immunization records, and research medication interactions outside of class. Importantly, EHR homework assignments aren’t just practice - instructors can grade assignments and provide feedback directly within the software. This allows students to improve skills based on evaluations of their independent EHR work. Whether enhancing medication administration records, practicing e-prescription workflows, or correcting improperly charted data, EHR homework elevates competency through instructor-led yet self-driven learning.
How Is ChartFlow The Most Affordable Educational EHR On The Market Starting At $15 Per Student?
The ChartFlow team believes in providing more for less. Our educational EHR has more features, is more customizable, and more affordable than any other system on the market. Providing a robust educational EHR optimized for nursing students does not have to strain budgets. We are able to keep our prices low with no hidden fees because we believe every student should have an affordable education, especially in an industry as critical as healthcare.
What would nursing programs do without an educational EHR like ChartFlow?
Implementing a purpose-built educational EHR delivers immense value for preparing student nurses compared to trying to teach EHR competencies without one. Without a specialized platform like ChartFlow, instructors would be unable to provide meaningful hands-on learning. Students would graduate with little experience actually using EHR workflows critical for practice. Didactic learning in the classroom would remain conceptual rather than experiential. And assessing real-world documentation skills would rely solely on limited clinical hours. Simply put, training the next generation of nurses capable of excelling in modern healthcare settings would be impossible without the customized educational EHR experience solutions like ChartFlow offer. These technologies have become indispensable tools rather than nice-to-haves, underscoring the essential role they play in shaping nursing curriculum and student outcomes.
