Objectives: Nursing has embraced online education to increase its workforce while providing flexible advanced education tonurse professionals. Faculty use virtual simulation and other adaptive learning technologies to enhance learning efficiencyand student outcomes in online courses. The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of simulated Electronic HealthRecords (EHRs) on informatics competency in a graduate online informatics course. Methods: A two-group independentmeasures study design was adopted to assess students’ perception of a simulated EHR while comparing differences in informaticscompetencies between an intervention group and a control group. A simulated EHR assignment was provided tostudents in the intervention group, and a paper assignment was provided to those in the control group. The informatics competencyof the students was measured using the Self-Assessment of Informatics Competency Scale for Health Professionals(SICS). Results: Students who were enrolled in a family nurse practitioner program in fall of 2019 participated in this study(n = 39). The students expressed positive perceptions of a simulated EHR experience. The SICS results indicated that studentsin the intervention (simulated EHR) group showed higher informatics competency than those in the control group. Conclusions:The positive results of this study support incorporating simulated EHR exercises in online courses. Higher informaticscompetency in the intervention group implies that the use of simulated EHR facilitated learning of complicated informaticsconcepts.
