Just-in-Time Electronic Health Record Retraining to Support Clinician Redeployment during the COVID-19 Surge

The authors describe how the surge in ICU care during the COVID-19 pandemic required rapid electronic health record (EHR) training for clinicians retrained as ICU clinicians and redeployed during the pandemic. The study deployed clinical informatics fellows as trainers; post-training survey findings indicated increased comfort and perceived levels of preparedness to use EHRs in an ICU setting, thus “conserving physician resources.”
