Summary
This curriculum trains emergency medicine residents in clinical informatics, focusing on improving patient care through data utilization and leadership. Residents found the program valuable and effective for achieving learning objectives in informatics.
Area of Science:
- Medical Informatics
- Emergency Medicine Education
Background:
- The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) mandates informatics training for Emergency Medicine (EM) residents.
- A standardized clinical informatics curriculum for EM residents was previously unavailable.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and evaluate a foundational clinical informatics curriculum for EM residents.
- To equip emergency physicians with informatics skills to enhance patient care, optimize data use, and lead quality improvement initiatives.
Main Methods:
- A four-week rotation incorporating asynchronous learning (readings, videos), administrative sessions, project proposal development, and small group discussions.
- The curriculum covers core informatics concepts: health information systems, data analytics, clinical decision support, privacy, security, and change management.
- Initial implementation involved resident feedback to refine educational content and strategies.
Main Results:
- Participants rated the curriculum highly, with a mean score of 5/5 for value and 4.75/5 for achieving learning objectives and understanding clinical informatics.
- Learner feedback indicated the content was effective, leading to adjustments in the asynchronous learning component to increase educational volume.
Conclusions:
- This model curriculum offers a structured, reproducible educational experience for EM residents in clinical informatics.
- The curriculum aligns with core competencies set by informatics governing bodies and the ACGME, preparing residents for leadership roles in health IT.

Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) primarily center around electronically documenting patients' health information within a single healthcare organization or practice. They contain essential clinical data related to a patient's medical history, diagnoses, medications, treatment plans, lab results, and other pertinent information relevant to the specific encounter or episode of care. EMRs are designed to streamline documentation and workflow processes within individual healthcare...

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is...
