[2008-7-28]
Tag : AES implementation
The University of the West of England has agreed a partnership withCerner to use its Academic Education Solution to train nursing andother healthcare staff on how to use its electronic patient recordsystem, Millennium.
Students at the university will be given lessons on how to useMillennium as part of a non-assessed module from September thisyear. Nurses will be taught the system first, with other healthprofessionals following next year.
Rod Ward, senior lecturer at the school of health and social careat UWE, told E-Health Insider: “We see this as an idealopportunity to get nurses to learn about the electronic patientrecord environment they will be going into once they qualify.
“Entrants from 2008 will graduate in 2011, by which time theEPR should be mainstream. Partnering with Cerner means we can helpto ensure that they are able to use an EPR system in whichever NHStrust they work for.”
Cerner Millennium is being implemented by most acute trusts inLondon, and is in eight hospitals in the South. Cerner says AESwill enable UWE students to benefit from the full clinicalinformation system being introduced into the NHS, adapted tosupport healthcare curricula and classroom instruction.
Cerner’s vice president, Alan Fowles, told EHI: “It isvitally important that as healthcare embraces the digital age theincoming workforce has a high degree of knowledge and understandingof how healthcare technologies work.
“With a significant number of NHS trusts using, or being inthe process of implementing, Millennium, UWE students will be moreprepared for the work they will experience once they graduate,allowing them to focus on the best patient care possible.”
Ward said the course would look at the “basicprinciples” of Millennium, with the partnership with Cerneron an initial two year basis. University staff are currently beingsupported by Cerner staff on intensive courses to ensure they areready for September.
Ward added: “We will be evaluating the implementation of AESto ensure it reflects the needs of our students. The great thing isit underpins a lot of the material they are already studying andcan easily be embedded into their nursing essentials module. Wehope this will put them in good stead for their futurecareers.”
UWE are the first in England to use AES, though it used globally byover 7,000 students at 40 campuses around the world.
Professor John Duffield, pro vice-chancellor and executive dean ofthe faculty of health and life sciences at UWE, said: “Thispartnership is a great opportunity to keep nursing education at UWEat the forefront of current healthcare practice, ensuring that ourstudents are fully prepared for the environments in which they aregoing to be caring for patients and clients.”
“The use of Cerner AES solution will form a key part of ourcurriculum as a foundation for evidence-based clinical practice,supporting development of critical-thinking skills and enhancingunidisciplinary and interdisciplinary education. It is capable ofbeing used with human patient simulators and will be availableonline anywhere anytime.”
