In a previous study, the same research group reported medical residents had deviating approaches to finding data in the intensive care unit, resulting in errors in recognizing issues in patient safety.
Seventy-two internal medicine interns across the 2018 and 2019 academic years had a dedicated EHR training session early in their training. Researchers compared previous experiences in EHR and ICU subjects.
The researchers found that participants who underwent the training used the 10 most common screens more than reference residents (75 percent of the time versus 45 percent).
Participants were surveyed immediately after the training and then again six months later. Participants reported finding the activity useful and enjoyable immediately after and six months later.
