Acquiring Holistic Health Assessment Skills 

With limitations in lab and clinical opportunities to practice health assessments — especially on clients with cultural variations and abnormal findings — students enter professional practice unprepared to provide quality care. In addition, their assessment skills may be outdated due to being based on textbook learning.

ATI’s solution? Practicing with highly responsive, virtual clients, which expands exposure and grows confidence, preparing students for greater success in clinical and professional practice.

“It’s a real challenge today for students to get realistic health assessment experience. We knew practicing with virtual physical exams would be an ideal way to provide deeper engagement and skills mastery.; — LISA BLAKELY, ATI DIRECTOR OF PRODUCT MANAGEMENT

Building an EHR  Baseline Fluency

Only 20% of new nurses say electronic health record (EHR) training was part of their nursing school curriculum.¹  Yet, a majority of employed nurses say newly hired colleagues need competency in these systems.² Complicating the situation is the variety of vendor offerings and the fact that clinical rotations often don’t allow students EHR access.

ATI’s solution? An electronic charting tool that simulates the EHR system in a clinical setting while supporting courses, activities, grading, patient-chart creation, simulation, and shared and individual student copies of activity charts.

Coming in 2019: EHR TUTOR

• Time-saving prep via 100+ prebuilt patient charts
• 330+ learning activities from mental health to newborn care
• Unfolding case studies that hone students’ clinical judgment
• Medication-dispensing experience with a bar code scanner     and cabinet management.

HOW STUDENTS BENEFIT

• Develop strong documentation habits
• Acquire a solid foundation in EHR primary  functions and features.

HOW YOU’LL BENEFIT

• Easy to use within days of purchase
• Offers a cost-effective solution.

“If hospitals and providers expect nurses to operate EHRs on day one, we’ve got to provide a tool that simulates the professional experience. It’s our responsibility to help create confident graduates who can use any EHR platform in the clinical setting.” — MARK WILLIAMS-ABRAMS, ATI VICE PRESIDENT, PRODUCT STRATEGY

Alleviating the Strain of Accreditation & Curriculum Management
