To test the EHR-savvy of nearly 190 fourth-year medical students who haven't participated in a formal class, the school set up a mock patient encounter in the summer and fall of 2009.

In addition to grading individual students' performances, the results provide baseline data on how well students, on average, handle the EHR during a patient encounter

Not surprising conclusion considering the state of healthcare informatics education in medical, pharmacy or nursing curriculum. The study will be interesting to review once it is published in a peer-reviewed journal.
