In the News: Regenstrief Institute + American Medical Association Announce Collaboration on Regenstrief EHR Clinical Learning Platform

“It is ironic as electronic health records have proliferated in the past decade, significant medical student exposure to these systems has decreased. EHRs are a tool most physicians will use every day in their practice, and data from EHRs will impact all physicians,” said Regenstrief research scientist and assistant professor of clinical medicine at IU School of Medicine Blaine Y. Takesue, M.D. “This new collaboration between Regenstrief and the AMA reflects two realities. First, health professions schools regard EHR and informatics training as necessary for their students. Second, the Indiana University School of Medicine, the Regenstrief Institute, Eskenazi Health and the AMA believe that investment in the Regenstrief Electronic Health Record Clinical Learning Platform will improve healthcare by improving the informatics ‘IQ’ of medical students and other healthcare profession students.”
