Design a process for electronic medical records that clinical staff can follow without obstructing care.
Managing Electronic Medical Record Systems
Practical training in electronic medical records, grounded in real cases and applied to your own operation.
Course Overview
Accreditation bodies assess electronic medical records on documented evidence of consistent practice. Cost pressure and quality expectations on this strand of health and pharmaceutical services are rising at the same time. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for the wider health and pharmaceutical services agenda. Every module pairs a short input on electronic medical records with structured practice on the participant's own material. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in the health and pharmaceutical services capability that were visible long before the incident. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting this strand of health and pharmaceutical services and under-invest in testing it. Participants finish able to explain electronic medical records to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. The programme converts this part of health and pharmaceutical services from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on this strand of health and pharmaceutical services ready to put in front of a decision maker.
