As healthcare facilities (including hospitals and private practices)continue to migrate from paper charts to electronic health records (EHR), the benefits have become obvious to both practitioners and patients. EHR data is accessible on-demand and can save the facility time and money while increasing the ability to provide quality and timely care.
EHR training for your employees, however, can be an expensive undertaking. At the same time, it can stress your users and create a significant burden on your organization’s available resources. Given this, eLearning has emerged as a cornerstone for training on all types of EHR systems, including NextGen.
