About the Courseware
Using electronic health records effectively and efficiently is critical to patient care and safety. Yet many students are missing these skills when they enter health professions due to inadequate training and a lack of hands-on learning experiences.
Exploring Electronic Health Records has been updated and enhanced to provide the instruction and practice students need to build in-demand EHR skills. The courseware includes access to the EHR Navigator application which replicates professional practice and prepares students to use EHRs within inpatient, outpatient, and long-term care settings.
Providing realistic learning experiences and unlimited practice, the EHR Navigator equips students with the skills and confidence needed to hit the ground running.

See What Educators Are Saying
"The EHR Navigator is the best option on the market for teaching EHR. I have reviewed the other options that are available and EHR Navigator and the accompanying text by Paradigm is the only one that meets my needs. EHR Navigator covers the various ways in which the EHR is used in a work setting. Updating the demographic information is covered. Scheduling and patient management is covered. Handling clinical documentation is covered. Everything I need for my students is there. Also, the Tutorials are thorough and easy to follow. They can be paused and also rewatched as often as needed. The Tutorials are at a good pace. The practice assessments allow students to practice what they learned in the tutorial until they are comfortable and able to take the assessments. I cannot recommend this product highly enough."
