8 Cardinal Sins of EMR Training

Biggest Expense of EMR SoftwareThe largest cost associated with implementing EMR software is the training and change management componentStaff usually must be trained on all sorts of tasks from GUI to WindowsNeed to be trained on related devices (e.g. printers)Need to learn new software functions with repetitionClinics often need additional training after initial session

8 Sins

3Gap Between Training and LaunchOften practices are in a rush to train staff even though EMR enrollment is not finishedTraining is completed then as many as 8-10 weeks can passStaff forgets how to use software and additional training must be purchasedRevenue XL recommends starting training after the setup process is complete

Training Everyone To Do EverythingIn most clinics different staff have different jobs and specialties; therefore they do not have to be trained in everything

Instead should focus on optimizing necessary skills for staff to do their specific jobsEMR vendors should train a couple specialists and then rest of staff by discipline

Training Ends with ImplementationTraining staff for use of EMR software is a process that continues for a long period of time

Roles and responsibilities of staff change over time, new employees must be trainedUse specialists to train new employees and for refreshing memory

Having Vendor Teach Basic SkillsUsing EMR vendors to teach basic computer skills is simply a waste of money

Either have staff teach each other or hire computer science student for cheapHave hardware installed in advance so staff has experience with basic skills

Trying to Train over Video ConferenceEMR software is complicated and thus the training needs to be treated as so

Remote training is cheaper but not nearly as effective and can be more expensive in long runAlways choose on-site training and have vendor present during launch

Lack of Formal Training MaterialInsist that the Vendor provide formal training material for your staff (hopefully specialized)

If not available, turn to recording training session and creating training binder for future reference

Assuming that Training Covers Everything Often vendors use a standard lesson for all practices they provide EMR to

Look for vendors that provide specialized training and softwareThis will make most use of training session and avoid wastes of time

Failing to Ensure that Vendor is Validated for your PracticeYou should confirm trainers credentials before they come on-site

When trainers are familiar with your specific practice they can help your staff more and provide specialized tips

By avoiding the 8 Cardinal Sins of EMR Training you'll

significantly slash your training costs

improve your return on investment
