Follow on Google News | EMR Preparedness Clinical Training Tool for the Long Term Care (LTC) Market LaunchedBy: Competitive Solutions, Inc. March 19, 2013 - Yorktown Heights, New York: Competitive Solutions Incorporated, a leading advisory firm in healthcare technology, announced the launch of Ready4EMRTM, a new online training tool for long term care (LTC) facilities. Ready4EMRTM is designed to prepare clinical users (nurses, doctors, certified nurse assistants, and other caregivers) for electronic medical record (EMR) technology and smooth the transition from a paper documentation system. Ready4EMRTM, offered on a subscription basis, is intended to improve LTC facility adoption rates of EMR technology. Management of facilities now have a tool to confirm and enforce user competency before using an EMR. Ready4EMRTM will allow LTC facilities to prepare their workforce for EMR technology by offering a menu of educational lessons for their clinical and support staff in a step-wise certification process. Coursework is tailored to the specific skill level of the user and includes basic computer skill education for those who need it. The Ready4EMRTM dashboard prompts users through the process and allows management to monitor their progress as well as user population statistics. Additional training modules can be uploaded and customized based on LTC facility need. “Competitive Solutions is delighted to deliver this first-of-its- Ready4EMRTM certifies users before and after EMR software training and is equipped with key lessons and corresponding tests which can be managed by LTC facility managers. First, the user is prompted to take a skills assessment followed by Pre- EMR Certification educational and testing modules. These include topics such as Why EMRs and EMR basics where the user is given a first glance of their EMR software screens and basic information about the new system. Following EMR software training, but before setting out in front of patients, users are prompted through Post-EMR Certification testing modules to prove competency. “Confirming competency before the caregiver uses an EMR is critically important for a successful shift from paper records to a computerized system of documentation.” “Maintaining the quality of the medical record while transitioning to an EMR is paramount. Caregivers rely on the data in the EMR to make critical care decisions just like with paper charts, so missing or inaccurate information can have an adverse impact on patient care.
