J Nurses Prof Dev. 2020 May/Jun;36(3):134-140. doi: 10.1097/NND.0000000000000631.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop and disseminate evidence-based interprofessional strategies to enhance provider-patient interactions, including ethical issues, that arise during electronic documentation. An interprofessional simulation scenario was implemented with students, and strategies developed were then used to train hospital staff. Nurses reported being significantly more likely to use the interprofessional strategies after completing the program. Interprofessional simulation and training is an effective method to address challenges that arise during electronic health record use.
