Abstract:
MedAffinity’s leadership team has over 35 years’ experience in designing and implementing EHRs in live environments. Their educational EHR was spawned from a meaningful use certified version, which can be used across all health sciences including MD, DO, Nursing, and more. MedAffinity’s EHR is one of the only educational EHRs that can be used to chart full visits using point and click structured data and charting by exception just like in live environments. With Medaffinity, your faculty aren’t limited to static scenarios. MedAffinity’s powerful scenario editor allows instructors to dynamically modify scenarios in real-time during class. And with our “Back to Start” feature, instructors can quickly and efficiently reset a scenario for the next class, no manual deletion required. A barcode-enabled electronic Medical Administration Record (eMAR) is built right into the Patient Chart.
The eMAR can use the sim drugs you already have, including Demo-Dose, Practi-Meds, or your own. There’s no need for specialized readers; standard, inexpensive barcode readers work with our system. There’s no need to start from scratch; MedAffinity’s flexible template builder lets you use the simulation scenarios you already have. We’ll teach you to use straightforward tools for importing your scenarios into the MedAffinity system and customize the progress notes and other elements as your instructors prefer. With MedAffinity, instructors can adapt wording and modify templates, rearrange the chart summary to emphasize specific aspects of the patient chart, and more.
MedAffinity, instructors can make scenario adjustments themselves, eliminating the need to spend time and money on custom programming or support calls. Educational simulation environments have different needs than live hospitals, which is why this company designed MedAffinity EHR for education to solve problems unique to the simulation environment, without compromising the student experience of using a real-world EHR. MedAffinity EHR for education was adapted from a, federally certified EHR that we’ve tailored to the unique demands of the educational environment. The MedAffinity team thinks your faculty and administrators, not your EHR, should decide what and how your students learn!
