Law, M, Kirby, J and Evans, R (2013) Clinical Information System (CIS) teaching is ESSENTIAL for Primary Care. In: RCGP Annual Conference 2013, Harrogate International Centre.
Abstract
Supported by the local SHA and PCTs and with live access to a clinical information system (CIS), Leeds University Academic Unit of Primary Care and the Yorkshire Centre for Health Informatics together developed teaching tools to meet this outcome and prepare undergraduate medical students for clinical placements and future practice. Tomorrow’s Doctors Outcome 19 (TD 19) states that doctors should make effective use of computers and information systems, understand confidentiality and data protection and apply the principle of health informatics to medical practice. The aim of the project is to ensure health care professionals are better able to use clinical information system (CIS) for patient care (4PC), and that CIS use is maximised in supporting teaching of undergraduates, postgraduates and in continuing professional development. The main objectives of CIS4PC include enabling students’ to explore the CIS and understanding how CISs support clinical care (e.g.: decision aids, prompts,); quality monitoring and patient safety (e.g.: read coding, audit, e-Prescribing); and communication (e.g.: Choose and Book, GP2GP record transfer). The live system (TPPs SystmOne) is used to deliver ‘hands on’ interactive teaching sessions covering topics on information governance, patient record keeping, the consultation, chronic disease management and soon prescribing and public health. The poster provided an overview of the project, what has been developed, delivered and student feedback on the benefits of received the teaching.
