Description
This activity will help practicing pathologists gain fundamental knowledge of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) in their everyday practice. This activity is divided into five modules and will address the need pathologists have to understand fundamental EHR concepts such as federal program requirements, EHR roles and functions, standards, protocols, and implementation challenges, patient safety issues in the handling of laboratory test orders and results, and correct formatting of reports. The participants do not need to have prior knowledge of EHRs as this activity will provide fundamental EHR concepts relevant to their roles as pathologists.

After completing the five modules, you will be presented with a 10-question post-test. These questions relate to the content presented in each of the five modules.

Objectives
After completing this SAM eligible activity and post-test, you should be able to:

  1. Cite examples of the fundamental roles and functions of EHRs and where they fit in the health care environment.
  2. Explain different standards and protocols applicable to EHRs and discuss potential challenges in implementing them in the laboratory.
  3. Identify patient safety issues and challenges in EHR handling of laboratory test orders.
  4. Identify patient safety issues and challenges in EHR handling of laboratory test results.
  5. Provide appropriate input to information systems personnel to ensure that reports are formatted correctly.
