SP-24 Educator Forum: The Use of Electronic Health Records for Retrospective Research
CE: 0
Electronic health records (EHR) are a reality to most endodontic educators whether their program is in an academic health center or is hospital/community based. Many educators lament the increased workload, both clinical and administrative, that has resulted from the adoption of EHR. This presentation focuses on a positive benefit - the wealth of data contained within the EHR and its utilization in interesting research projects for students, faculty and residents.
At the conclusion, participants should be able to:
- Identify opportunities for retrospective research forum in their institution's EHR application.
- Anticipate and manage compliance related issues that are likely to be encountered.
- Utilize studies to strengthen their programs.
