Thank you, Geoff, for this summary.
One part of digital transformation is Electronic Patient Records (EPRs).
I believe mandatory undergraduate educational outcomes about EPRs are necessary for all health and social care undergraduates worldwide. I am meeting my very helpful MP (Member of Parliament) today to discus this idea within the UK context.
Here are the six domains of educational undergraduate outcomes suggested by Sarah Pontefract and Kurt Wilson:
Using electronic patient records: defining learning outcomes for undergraduate education - PubMed (nih.gov)
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30670000/
Six key domains of competence and associated learning outcomes were identified and defined. External expert review provided iterative refinement and amendment. The agreed domains were:
1) Digital Health: work as a practitioner in the digital healthcare environment;
2) Accessing Data: access and interpret patient data to inform clinical decision-making;
3) Communication: communicate effectively with healthcare professionals and patients in the digital environment;
4) Generating data: generate data for and about patients within the EPR;
5) Multidisciplinary working: work with healthcare professionals with and alongside EPRs; and
6) Monitoring and audit: monitor and improve the quality and safety of healthcare.
We may be discussing these as well as Open Notes and the European Data sharing platform at the Open Notes Journalen conference in Uppsala next month (10th anniversary of patient access to records in Sweden) and perhaps at the UN World data Forum in Hangzhou, China from April 23rd to 25th 2023.
