MEDITECH Training Approaches:

HCI has had success with training by utilizing the following approaches:

Nursing/Clinical/Process Role Based Training

Training is most effective when it is organized according to function.  Similarly, trainees are most attentive when the training is directly related to their work.

Workflow Based Training

Our trainers realize that End Users must adopt the MEDITECH application into their care and daily services, which means designing workflows to be as functional and effecient as possible. Learning how to use a new system and new workflows, while incorporating it into their practice during the training, will enhance End User adoption and the ability to continually provide the highest-quality care. Process based training provides the opportunity to assess standardized policies and procedures, to ensure that End Users integrate the EHR more deeply into daily operations.

Mock Clinical Script Training – Simulations

Conducting a “Day in the Life” or “end-to-end” simulation to integrate process scenarios as part of the training strategy has proven to enhance and promote a smooth and less stressful Go-Live. Higher levels of adoption, sustainment, and satisfaction with the system come as a result of these efforts. Our team can assist in selection of these simulations for each role and area.
