“…Approximately one-third of respondents also used EHRs for medication order entry/verification, medication reconciliation, and errors and omissions activities. 7 The uses described in the Van Langen manuscript are supported by several studies describing EHRs in skills-based curricula in Table 1. [8][9][10][11][12] On an international level, recent survey findings from the International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) Digital Health Education in Pharmacy Report, discovered that 53% of responding academic institutions from around the world were covering EHRs in some form within the curriculum and 25% of respondents were interested in incorporating EHR education into their curriculum.…”

Electronic health records (EHRs) are integral to contemporary pharmacy practice. The use of EHRs and EHR skill development in curricula across pharmacy education is variable. Skills-based courses in curricula are ideal areas to develop these skills and integrate EHR use and skills with the Pharmacists' Patient Care Process. Consideration should be given by each school/college of pharmacy to have an EHR curriculum embedded within skills-based courses to help students be ready for Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences (APPEs), as well as practice. A consensus on what skills or competencies should be consistently included in schools/colleges of pharmacy should be developed across pharmacy education to increase consistency in the delivery of EHR skills education and assessment. Emphasis on EHR skills and incorporation of them in to national pharmacy education standards would help further guide development and assessment, as well as ensure new pharmacists are on the cutting edge of patient care and technology.

“…In 2020, 37 of 59 responding colleges/ schools of pharmacy reported use of a simulated EHR in their curriculum. 114 Colleges/schools of pharmacy commonly use simulated EHRs to afford learners the ability to practice and perform discrete tasks such as data collection, documentation, medication reconciliation, order entry, and order verification. [114][115][116][117][118][119][120] Respondents also commented on the simulated EHR's ability to practice and/or assess various steps of the PPCP and specific Center for the Advancement of Pharmacy Education outcomes.…”

Simulation, an educational, assessment, and research technique used to mimic real‐world situations, is increasingly used in pharmacy education. The most‐used simulation methods include high‐fidelity simulation (HFS), low‐fidelity simulation (LFS), standardized patients, and game‐based simulation. A common element of simulation is its ability to offer learners the chance to practice a skill or acquire knowledge in a safe and accessible space. Simulation methods differ in key aspects, including cost and other resource investment as well as ideal venue for use in education. HFS provides a more realistic simulation environment than LFS but is typically more expensive. Standardized patients offer learners the opportunity to engage with a live person but may elicit greater variability in responses to learners' input than HFS. Computer‐based simulation uses technology to supply a wide variety of learning opportunities; however, it may require the use of proprietary software and devices. Despite widespread use, literature describing learning outcomes of simulation in pharmacy education is limited. Some existing reports with positive findings have focused on learner satisfaction with or perceived benefit of simulation activities. The few existing publications summarizing changes in skills or knowledge demonstrate a positive impact. Simulation is a promising modality for educating pharmacy students and residents; however, more data summarizing the benefit of learning outcomes are needed.

“…In the context of the pandemic, they are supportive in numerous ways. First and foremost, the hardcopy forms containing the information is digitalized and, in the health sector for instance, the Electronic Health Record (EHR) is and will be useful in performing analysis of patient clinical data in all aspects which is highly beneficial in any decision-making process and also for other healthcare activities like diagnosis and treatment processes ( Garcelon, Burgun, Salomon, & Neuraz, 2020 ; Jedwab, Chalmers, Dobroff, & Redley, 2019 ; Kapoor, Guha, Kanti Das, Goswami, & Yadav, 2020 ; VanLangen, Elder, Young, & Sohn, 2020 ). As the lockdowns prevail, the needs of processing payment of normal day-to-day purchases have become a lot easier through digital payment methods.…”
