Academic EHR integration in family NP education: Student experiences and perceived benefits
Background:
Electronic health record (EHR) competency is essential for family nurse practitioner (FNP) students entering clinical practice.
Purpose:
This pilot study evaluated FNP students' experiences with academic EHR (aEHR) integration.
Methods:
Students completed patient case studies using an aEHR platform and anonymously rated their experience on a 5-point Likert scale.
Results:
Students (N = 121) reported moderate satisfaction (M = 3.7, SD = 0.94). Qualitative feedback indicated increased confidence in EHR navigation, though concerns about instructional guidance emerged.
Conclusion:
Integration of an aEHR shows promise for enhancing student preparedness with moderate satisfaction levels. Larger studies are needed to establish effectiveness more definitively.
