Detaljerad beskrivning
This study was a randomized, parallel , non- blinded controlled trial of real-time, focused educational interventions in an intervention arm compared with usual training and support in the control arm.
Improvement in performance, defined as the time between opening and closing a progress note, and number of notes completed after shift , were the primary outcomes.
Physician satisfaction was a secondary outcome.
Participants from one 550-bed Academic Independent Medical Center were invited to participate if they were full-time hospitalists or residents in internal medicine with no prior experience with the EPIC electronic health record.

Experimentell: One-on-one physician training
One-on-one physician training Physicians in the experimental arm were visited by a instructing physician at a computer while performing clinical duties who had observed others to identify best practices.
Instructors watched subjects' work, looking for a specific tip that could be applied to the current work, then demonstrated the tip, and answered any questions the subject had about using or applying this new technique .

Usual training.
This group will get the usual specified training for learning to use our electronic health record.
Both groups received 12 hours of EPIC classroom training, exposure to the EPIC e-learning modules, user acceptability testing classes, and unlimited time on the EPIC 'playground', a site to practice on virtual patients.
All had 90 days of elbow support with an EPIC-training non-physician technician, who were visible and available on all inpatient wards, as well as access to a physician-only support line available at all hours.
