Abstract

The University of Saint Francis (USF) has partnered with Parkview Health System, an acute care facility, to integrate an electronic medical record (EMR) system into the undergraduate nursing curriculum at USF. Through an Internet connect account designed by Parkview Health, students and faculty have access to Parkview's EMR training system anywhere they have an Internet connection. Parkview Health has agreed to allow USF nursing students and faculty access to its EMR training system at no cost. This project is an effort to enhance nursing students' competence and confidence in using EMR systems while providing nurse educators with the technology to facilitate hands-on, interactive teaching methods that will prepare the next generation of nurses for the technologically rich environment of health care.
