Electronic Health Record Training in Undergraduate Medical Education: Bridging Theory to Practice With Curricula for Empowering Patient- and Relationship-Centered Care in the Computerized Setting
The following Perspective in Academic Medicine notes that while electronic health record (EHR) use is becoming state-of-the-art, deliberate teaching of health care information technology (HCIT) competencies is not keeping pace with increased use of EHR. How can medical educators best meet the needs of learners while integrating EHRs into medical education, and how can they help learners preserve and foster effective communication skills within the computerized setting? The authors build on recent publications that set the stage for next steps—bridging theory into practice with systematic longitudinal curriculum development for EHR training, informed by curriculum development frameworks, narrative medicine, and reflective practice.
