Abstract

This study synthesized the available evidence of simulation-based electronic health records (EHRs) training in educational and clinical environments for healthcare providers in the literature. The Arksey and O'Malley methodological framework was employed. A systematic search was carried out in relevant databases from inception to January 2020, identifying 24 studies for inclusion. Three themes emerged: (a) role of simulation-based EHR training in evaluating improvement interventions, (b) debriefing and feedback methods used, and (c) challenges of evaluating simulation-based EHR training. The majority of the studies aimed to emphasize the practical skills of individual medical trainees and employed post-simulation feedback as the feedback method. Future research should focus on (a) using simulation-based EHR training to achieve specific learning goals, (b) investigating aspects of clinical performance that are susceptible to skill decay, and (c) examining the influence of simulation-based EHR training on team dynamics.
