eClinicalWorks Training Agenda

Introduction
Welcome to eClinicalWorks training. This four-day training is targeted toward our new clients to train them on how to use the eClinicalWorks (eCW) electronic medical record (EMR) system. The goal of this training program is to optimize your practice's workflow by mapping it to the capabilities of the eCW software and impart a working knowledge of all eCW functionality that applies to your practice's needs and to facilitate the integration of the eCW EMR system. Opportunities are provided to work hands-on with the program, allowing participants a chance to experiment with what they have learned in fictitious scenarios. Workflow-related scenarios are discussed throughout the training to identify the best possible integration of the eCW software for your practice. In order to best utilize the trainer's time with your practice, it is recommended that you not have a full load of patients scheduled during training. Some patients are recommended after a few days of training, but patients should be scheduled for double the time typically allocated for each visit type. Training hours are either 8:00 AM 5:00 PM, 8:30 AM 5:30 PM or 9:00 AM 6:00 PM with a one-hour lunch break, unless otherwise arranged with your Project Manager. Additional hours on-site are billed at $105/hr.

Providers

In addition to the hours allocated above, it is recommended that each staff member spend additional time on their own during the week getting familiar with the software. Each provider session with the trainer must consist of at least four consecutive hours uninterrupted by seeing patients. Work with the Project Manager to discuss the best scenario for your practice. Providers need to spend time getting familiar with their tablet PCs prior to training. It is strongly advised that staff have basic computer training prior to training. Any practice letters, forms, or other documents should be given to the trainer on Day 1 of the training so that they can be entered or duplicated in the eClinicalWorks system. The Office Manager should separate staff into the groups outlined in the schedule and identify which staff members will attend each session.
