Choice EMR Learning FAQ's

We are a mock training provider.

We offer a managed EMR with program-specific templates and a learning platform that can be used in most college healthcare programs.

EMR is an acronym for Electronic Medical Record. It is a compilation of patient health information in a digital format.

More providers having access to a patient’s health history allows for more efficiency in healthcare. With EMRs, there is a greater likelihood for patients to receive the medical care they need and for a correct diagnosis to be made.

We help college students and instructors as well as individuals looking to update their EMR knowledge with hands-on training.

We offer an EMR simulation, with patients and scenarios students can practice on.

We provide a classroom solution for faculty with unlimited onboarding and training, with a workbook, training guides, videos, technical support and answer keys.

The simulation training is an exact replication of a doctor’s office while allowing a shared, centralized database to be used for graded work.

The key features of the simulation are:

  • Audio files of dictated chart notes
  • Employee-level access to industry versions of electronic medical record systems
  • Database can be shared by multiple program areas
  • Medical simulation tasks for patients to be used with provided EMR software and workbook
  • Ongoing instructor training related to the workbook materials
  • Training guides and videos to support the provided workbook
  • Patient lists for various demographic areas that are unique to each student
  • Test bank and answer keys
  • Instructors are set-up with audit trail capabilities for teaching and marking
  • Real-time FDB and provincial coding updates
  • Technical support

Learning an EMR can be overwhelming so I enjoy giving students the confidence they need with employable skills.

Also, being a former instructor myself I think the biggest problem instructors have is needing to learn multiple software platforms, often with little time for prep. So Choice EMR Learning helps save instructors time by focusing on providing quality onboarding, and teaching the instructors what they need to know to teach their students on what’s covered in the workbook.

I’m really passionate about making a difference in students’ lives and finding ways to give back to our healthcare system.

Our user-friendly training gives students the confidence and experience they need to work in a medical environment and a competitive edge in job interviews.

We choose to use highly recognizable certified EMR software vendors, which benefits students when listed on their resumes.

When students use the EMR software, they can make mistakes they can learn from, in a simulated environment, and their work can be graded. This will increase their chances of success when they go out into the workplace.

The EMR simulation helps colleges seamlessly offer training to their students without worrying about developing student-specific training materials and assignments. We look after updating curriculum materials and answer keys, saving faculty a huge amount of work.

I saw an opportunity to use my background as a college instructor, and an EMR systems analyst, to develop an EMR simulation that would help students get quality EMR training.

We help to alleviate the healthcare staffing crisis, increase efficiency in healthcare, and improve students’ lives by increasing their employment options.

The biggest misconception is that Choice EMR is a software company.

We are not a software company, but you could use the EMR software on your own but we believe you get a far better training experience for your students if you use our training package.

When you go to the doctor, you see them entering all the stuff they see about you and all the stuff you tell them about you, into the computer. The people at the doctor’s office didn’t always know how to use the computer for this. So we show people how to use it by letting them pretend they work in the doctor’s office to learn how it all works in a real to life way.

We offer a managed EMR with program-specific templates and a learning platform that can be used in most college healthcare programs.

Most EMR products come with similar features and functions, but where we differ is in our technical support and full learning simulation for colleges.

Choice EMR Learning’s curriculum meets or exceeds many health program standards set out by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities and our full-service package is the only customizable and markable solution on the market today.

We have many success stories. We have had students let us know:

  • It’s user-friendly, easy to use, fun, and enjoyable to work with
  • It gave them confidence
  • It gave them an idea what the real job would be like
  • It gave them a competitive edge in a job interview and helped them find employment with a good salary
  • They received great technical support, highly rated

We have also heard from instructors that:

  • The resources and support were amazing!
  • It’s a five-star, user-friendly program.
  • Things were set up very well, and our team was very supportive.
  • It was so helpful to the students, and that they loved simulating real life scenarios for their students

Skill Assessment

Our grading system is revolutionary and 15-years strong allowing industry EMR to be used in a classroom setting.  Having students set up as providers with specific permissions allows them to utilize our copywritten patient lists to do our specialized assignments for grading. Their assignment view is guarded from other student’s view, but not from instructors. The assignments are created the same, with unique modifiers for doing assignments in a shared database. Ask us how or for a demo. Find all answer keys and how to mark instructional documents and videos on Moodle and get assisted by our instructional team as well as access other instructors for key performance outcome assurance.
