Learners benefit from attending an instructor led session that focuses on day one readiness, review of key concepts, and personalization
A emphasis is placed on ensuring you can access outpatient schedules, inpatient lists, and know how to find information in the chart to complete documentation and perform key workflows.
Personalizing features in Connect Care empowers users to make the system their own, so that it reflects their favourites, preferences, and shortcuts. Tailoring Connect Care to the individual needs enables users to save time and clicks, and shows them that they can tailor the system to their individual practices.
We have worked with the UAlberta UME office to schedule instructor led sessions for the incoming cohort of clinical clerks.
