25–30 Hours | 12 Months of Access | Self-Paced Online Learning | Certificate Included

Whether you’re a healthcare student, Unit Clerk, healthcare administrator, career changer, or simply interested in learning hospital Electronic Health Record (EHR) workflows, this course provides hands-on training in a realistic hospital EHR simulation environment.

Designed to mirror administrative workflows commonly performed in hospital and acute-care settings, you’ll learn how patient information is managed, communicated, and documented throughout the patient journey.

Trusted by colleges, workforce development programs, healthcare educators, and learners across Canada.

Experience Real Hospital Workflow

Unlike video-only hospital administration courses, learners work directly inside a simulated Electronic Health Record (EHR) and complete realistic patient workflow activities from admission through discharge.

Using hands-on scenarios, learners gain experience with the administrative responsibilities commonly performed by Unit Clerks, Ward Clerks, Admitting Clerks, Health Unit Coordinators, and Patient Registration staff.

Learn By Doing

This is not a theory-only course.

Learners complete realistic hospital workflow activities inside a simulated Electronic Health Record (EHR), gaining practical experience with admissions, transfers, orders, patient tracking, documentation, and discharge planning.

Every module includes practical activities designed to help you apply what you’ve learned inside the EHR environment.

Sample Hospital Workflow Scenario
