Background

Electronic Health Record (EHR) training can affect EHR usability and provider willingness. This article evaluates the effect of post-implementation training on specific EHR activities. [1]

Methods

The study was conducted at Kaiser Permanente, Mid-Atlantic States (KPMAS), using a mixed methods approach (1:4 match case-control), where the usage rate of problem list and medication list management components of EHR were measured 6 months pre-training and 6 months post-training. A comparative analysis was done using the Wilcoxon sign rank test.

Training included two classes with 20–40 minutes lecture/demonstration format, specific hands-on exercises, and supplemental materials for post-class learning (refer to the appendix section). The first class focused on problem list management, medication list management, patient history, and efficient chart review. While the second class focused on documentation, efficiency tool, order entry, and preference list.
