Purpose:The electronic health record (EHR) is an important advancement in health care. It facilitates improvement of health care delivery and coordination of care, but it creates special challenges for student education. This article represents a collaborative effort of the Alliance for Clinical Education (ACE), a multidisciplinary group formed in 1992. ACE recognizes the importance of medical student participation in patient care including the ability of documentation. This article proposes guidelines that can be used by educators to establish expectations on medical student documentation in EHRs. Summary: To provide the best education for medical students in the electronic era, ACE proposes to use the Correspondence may be sent to Maya M. Hammoud, 1500E. Medical Center Drive, L4000 Von Voigtlander Women's Hospital, Ann Arbor, MI 48109, USA. E-mail: immaya@umich.edu following as practice guidelines for medical student documentation in the EHR: (a) Students must document in the patient's chart and their notes should be reviewed for content and format, (b) students must have the opportunity to practice order entry in an EHR-in actual or simulated patient cases-prior to graduation, (c) students should be exposed to the utilization of the decision aids that typically accompany EHRs, and (d) schools must develop a set of medical student competencies related to charting in the EHR and state how they would evaluate it. This should include specific competencies to be documented at each stage, and by time of graduation. In addition, ACE recommends that accreditation bodies such as the Liaison Committee for Medical Education utilize stronger language in their educational directives standards to ensure compliance with educational principles. This will guarantee that the necessary training and resources are available to ensure that medical students have the fundamental skills for lifelong clinical practice. Conclusions: ACE recommends that medical schools develop a clear set of competencies related to student documentation in the 257 258 M. HAMMOUD ET AL.

“…Students identified a number of benefits of using the educational EHRs over the traditional procedure of recording patient data. The results of this study stressed the importance of integrating EHR training from Hammoud et al [16]conducted a study to describe the earlier clinical encounters and integrating EHR-related learning objectives into the program curriculum. The study noted that further research is required to empirically evaluate the impact of educational EHR systems.…”

Abstract-In the last few years, the use of information technology to improve the quality of healthcare services has challenged healthcare organizations to adjust to these new developments. Consequently, there is an increasing demand to prepare health informatics professionals to be a driving force in the adoption and implementation of health information technology projects. This paper presents the results of an exploratory study conducted to gain insight into the potential benefits and challenges related to the integration of an educational health information system into an introductory course on health informatics. The study aims to achieve an effective framework for embedding educational software into undergraduate health informatics courses. The students who participated in this study used the system to gain practical experience with how a health informatics system performs its core functions and to discover the importance of integration between different parts of the system. The results of the study revealed that integrating health informatics software into undergraduate courses has positive impacts on the learning process. However, the study identified various barriers that should be taken into consideration to achieve educationally effective integration of health informatics software into the teaching environment.Index Terms-Health informatics education, virtual training, educational software.
