Integrating the Electronic Health Record Into Patient Encounters: An Introductory Standardized Patient Exercise for Preclinical Medical Students.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Increasingly, use of the electronic health record (EHR) is interwoven into even the most basic patient care tasks. Accordingly, learning how to utilize the EHR during patient encounters is important for medical students as they develop their clinical skills. Existing EHR curricula have focused primarily on doctor-patient relationship skills. We developed a session for our preclinical students on EHR-related doctor-patient relationship skills as well as on using the EHR to verify data and focus one's history taking.

Methods
