For students

Designed so learners focus on the patient, not the software

A clean, consistent screen layout and a task list that walks them through each lab mean students spend their time on judgement: is this the same patient, is this value abnormal, can this record be released?

One window, two panes

The patient chart on one side, the lab’s numbered tasks on the other. Students never lose their place.

Work that saves itself

Entries are stored on the server as students go, so work continues on any computer, in class or at home.

Charts in tabs

Open several patients at once and switch between them, just as staff do on a busy shift.

A report to keep

Every submission produces a Word report of exactly what the student entered, ready for a portfolio.

For faculty

Run the whole practical course from one place

Everything an instructor needs to plan, deliver and assess EHR work, without spreadsheets or e-mail attachments.

Activity builder

Write instructions, add tasks and attach lab sheets and answer keys. Start from a built-in lab or a blank page.

Chart editor

Edit any patient: demographics, allergies, problems, medications, vitals, results, notes and scanned documents.

Assignments

Choose an activity and a chart, then set a due date, points, a section or student groups.

Grading

Review each student’s entries next to the task, add formatted feedback, attach a marked file and record the score.

Submissions at a glance

See who has started, who has submitted and who is late for every assignment.

Practice tools

Switch on SOAP note writing or user access administration for any chart, and review the practice work.

Realistic by design

Content that feels like a real health system

Fictional, but never generic. Every record is built around facilities, departments, providers and documents that behave the way real ones do.

2

Facilities

General Hospital, a 220-bed acute care hospital with a 24-hour emergency department, and Central Clinic, an outpatient multispecialty clinic with laboratory, X-ray and pharmacy.

194

ICD-10-CM codes

A coding reference built for the cases, plus 46 CPT procedure codes for charge capture and claims.

22

Records & data sets

Patients with complete histories, look-alike patients for duplicate checks, and data sets for registration and quality reporting.

Data & analytics

A real SQL console for quality reporting

Health data analysis is now a core HIM skill. In ChartLab, students query a clinical registry with real SQL, calculate quality indicators, compare them with targets and write up the results.

  • Read-only queries on a private, in-memory copy of the data
  • Results in a table, ready to use in a report
  • Answers checked against the faculty key
