Just-in-Time Electronic Health Record Retraining to Support Clinician Redeployment during the COVID-19 Surge.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In response to surges in demand for intensive care unit (ICU) care related to the COVID-19 pandemic, health care systems have had to increase hospital capacity. One institution redeployed certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) as ICU clinicians, which necessitated training in ICU-specific electronic health record (EHR) workflows prior to redeployment. Under time- and resource-constrained settings, clinical informatics (CI) fellows could effectively be lead instructors for such training.

Objective

This study aimed to deploy CI fellows as lead EHR instructional trainers for clinician redeployment as part of an organization's response to disaster management.

Methods

CI fellows led a multidisciplinary team alongside subject matter experts to develop an
