When it comes to EHR Training, making the most of these resource-intensive sessions is key to ensuring the payoff is worth the effort. A lot of planning by training leads goes into delivering classroom or virtual instruction on an EHR (such as Cerner, which we’ll highlight today) to ensure the time spent by clinical resources -- including busy physicians and RNs -- is valuable and effective for supporting Go-Live efforts and encouraging adoption. (After all, those expected ROIs won’t manifest themselves!) Well-developed training materials and modules are clutch for delivering Cerner Training during EHR implementation projects, but today we’re going to touch on a few simple “housekeeping” items that will help set the stage for effective sessions and maximum absorption of vital information. These aren’t earth-shattering in complexity, but we’ve seen clients overlook the simple value of a few preparation steps that can really impact how effective (or not) is a training session.

The year 2016 was one of growth for us here at The HCI Group. From the inception of our Healthcare IT Blog in August of 2013, up to the end of 2015, we had published nearly 100 different articles on Healthcare IT. In just 2016 alone, we reached that same number — including the launch of our Healthcare IT Podcast Series IT Podcast Series.

We would like to say thank you to all who have subscribed to our blog and our podcast, and that we can't wait to keep providing you with the best content that the Healthcare IT industry has to offer.

Before moving forward to 2017, however, we pause to take a look back at the posts that you, our subscribers, found the most value in during the year that was.

Being one of the most popular EHRs in the world, it is no surprise that the posts we created having to deal with Cerner were some of our most viewed in 2016. Here were three of our best:

A Cerner Implementation marks a transitionary time for your organization. You are making a huge IT investment that should lead to both time and money saved, as well as improved care for your patients. In order to reap these rewards, however, it is vital that your Cerner Training project incorporate real-life simulations, the proper equipment and hardware, and productive classroom time for your end users.

Cerner is a huge IT investment rivaling that of brick and mortar investments. Once you're live, you don't want to reduce your IT support to the least common denominator, often a helpdesk or service desk. If you're considering investing in a Cerner Clinical Service Desk, you need to leverage its capabilites to maximize the investment you've made in your new Cerner EHR system.

Cerner training isn’t a single event.

The HCI Group identifies 9 Cerner training strategies that will increase the return on your EHR. The first 3 strategies are covered in this post.
