Abstract

Background & Objective: Understanding the theoretical concepts of Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) alone is insufficient to prepare students for the professional world. Through Field Study Practices (FSPs), students gain a direct understanding of EMR implementation. The aim of the study was to analyze the role of FSPs in enhancing the skills of Medical Record and Health Information (MRHI) students in using EMR.
Materials & Methods: The study used a cross-sectional method conducted on students of the MRHI Department. The samples were taken using a simple random sampling technique totaling 259 students. Data were analyzed descriptively, a Chi-square test and binary logistic regression. Those methods were performed to determine the association in students' understanding and skills of EMR with a significance level of p-value < 0.05 and Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR) with 95% Confidence Interval (CI).
Results: The study found that, the students who had performed FSP in the hospital were 56.4% and Community Health Center (CHC) was 43.6%. There was a significant association between students who participated in the FSP at a Health Care Facility (HCF) and various improvements in their understanding and skills related to Electronic Medical Records (EMR). Specifically, the students showed increased understanding of the concepts and basic functions of EMR (p = 0.001), as well as technical skills for using EMR (p = 0.001). They also demonstrated enhanced knowledge of data security and privacy (p = 0.002), and a better understanding of workflows and procedures for using EMR (p = 0.041). Additionally, students improved their understanding of EMR system integration and interoperability (p = 0.008) and showed compliance with EMR ethics and regulations (p = 0.001). They developed soft skills in the practice environment (p = 0.018) and were better able to analyze and make decisions based on EMR data (p = 0.025).
Conclusion: The surdents who participated in FSP can improve their understanding of concepts, technical skills, Data security, workflows, system integrations, regulatory compliances, soft skills developments, and analytical skills.
