Demonstrating the use of electronic medical records (EMR) playgrounds in lab and simulation setting to administer blood products in prelicensure nursing programs

Abstract : Using an electronic medical records (EMRs) to administer blood is an essential skills that nurses utilize in practice. Thus, prelicensure nursing students need to be trained on how to use it safely and effectively. This school of nursing collaborated with an academic medical center to use their EMR playground to simulate administering blood products safely without the risk of harming real patients. This 10-minute rapid demonstration will demonstrate how to use EMR playgrounds in a lab and simulation setting to teach prelicensure nursing students how to administer blood products.

The presentation will provide a demonstration of how to administer blood products using the EMR playground version that students use in clinical practice. The presenter will also discuss common challenges that instructors and students may face when using EMR playgrounds, and how to overcome them.

Finally, the presentation will provide tips for integrating blood product administration using EMR playground in simulation and lab. The presenter will discuss how to design scenarios that are realistic and challenging, and how to use scenarios to teach students about different aspects of blood product administration.
