Pegasus facilitate collaboration among different healthcare disciplines. Students from various fields, such as medicine, nursing, pharmacy, and allied health professions, can work together in a virtual healthcare setting, enhancing their understanding of interdisciplinary care and teamwork.

Research and Analysis

Pegasus can be used as platform for conducting research and analyzing healthcare data. Students and researchers can explore trends, conduct data analysis, and generate reports to gain insights into patient outcomes, quality improvement, and population health.

Continuous Learning and Professional Development

Pegasus serves as a lifelong learning tool for healthcare professionals. It allows them to stay updated with the latest medical knowledge, guidelines, and best practices.

Ethical and Legal Consideration

Pegasus provide an opportunity to introduce learners to the ethical and legal aspects of health information management. They can explore topics such as patient privacy, data security, informed consent, and compliance with regulations like HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act).

Challenges

While an educational electronic health record (EHR) offers numerous benefits, there are also several challenges that need to be addressed. Some common challenges of implementing and utilizing an educational EHR include

Technical Infrastructure

Setting up and maintaining the technical infrastructure required for an educational EHR is complex and resource-intensive. It involves acquiring and maintaining hardware, software, databases, and networking capabilities that can support the EHR system and handle the data volume generated by learners.

Cost

Implementation of Pegasus was involve significant costs, including software licensing, hardware acquisition, system maintenance, data storage, and ongoing technical support. Educational institutions or healthcare organizations may need to allocate adequate financial resources to ensure the successful implementation and sustainability of the EHR.

Training & Support

Team designed the program for Proper training and support for faculty, staff, and learners are crucial for the effective use of an educational EHR. Faculty members need training on how to incorporate the EHR into the curriculum, create relevant learning activities, and guide learners in using the system. Learners also require comprehensive training to navigate the EHR interface and understand its functionalities.

Data Integration & Standardization

Integrating pegasus with other systems was complex, integrations such as electronic medical records or laboratory systems, was challenging. Data standardization, interoperability, and ensuring accurate and timely data exchange between systems were important but complex task. Lack of standardization was lead to data inconsistencies and hinder the seamless integration of patient information into the educational EHR.

Privacy & Security

Pegasus involved handling and accessing sensitive patient data, which must be protected to ensure patient privacy and comply with legal and ethical requirements. Implementing robust security measures, such as encryption, access controls, and user authentication, is crucial to safeguarding patient information and preventing unauthorized access or data breaches.

Solution

Below are some potential solutions team took care while developing and utilizing Pegasus as an educational EHR:

Faculty Support

It covers systems functionalities, case development.

Evaluate & Improve

Regularly evaluate the effectiveness of educational EHR.

User-Friendly Interface

Design User-friendly interface that is easy to navigate.

Teamwork

This allows learners to work together on patient cases and so on.

The Techbit team spent a good time implementing an EHR because it requires careful consideration and planning. Team Techbit designed a systematic approach to achieve the goal to develop the application for the best results

The team ensure that learners can quickly access patient information, input data, and interact with the system seamlessly. Consider incorporating features like customizable templates and clinical decision support tools to aid learners in documentation and decision-making.

Team align the educational EHR with the existing curriculum or learning objectives of the educational institution. Integrate patient cases, clinical scenarios, and learning modules that correspond to the topics being taught. This helps reinforce classroom learning and allows students to apply their knowledge in a practical setting.

Techbit team Build analytical capabilities into the educational EHR to generate reports and provide feedback to learners and instructors. Analytics can help track learner progress, identify areas for improvement, and assess competency development. Reporting features can provide insights on performance, clinical outcomes, and quality improvement measures.

Team-built collaborated and communicational features within the educational EHR. This allows learners to work together on patient cases, share information, discuss treatment plans, and engage in inter-professional communication. Features like messaging, discussion.

New feature provided to faculty members and instructors with comprehensive training on how to use and effectively utilize the educational EHR. Pegasus offer ongoing support and resources to address any technical or instructional challenges they may encounter. Faculty training covers system functionalities, case development, assessment tools, and best practices for incorporating the EHR into the curriculum.

The team ensured Pegasus will be under strict data privacy and security measures to protect patient information and comply with relevant regulations (e.g., HIPAA). Implement robust authentication, access controls, and data encryption protocols to safeguard sensitive data within the educational EHR.

Team build the pegasus in a way to keep the regular evaluation the educational EHR through feedback from learners, faculty, and other stakeholders. Use this feedback to make iterative improvements to the system, address any usability issues, and enhance the overall learning experience.

Business Benefits

Pegasus combined with electronic health records (EHR) was built with intended to offer several benefits to healthcare providers, student nurses, and patients.

  • Help nursing students become proficient in patient documentation.
  • Enhance classroom learning and provide ways to introduce more patient centered or case-based activities.

  • Help nursing students fulfil their graduation requirements for EHR practice
  • Add another level of realism to patient simulation scenarios as students learn to care for patients.
  • Offer the ability to customize scenarios to allow students to recognize important indicators within a patient chart that will affect patient outcomes.
  • Teach students how to evaluate and document patient care within an electronic health record and prepare students for any EHR that they may encounter in practice.
Efficient Documentation
Streamlined Flow
Enhanced Patient Engagement
Data-Driven Decision Making
Research & Population Health Management
Improved Care Coordination
Enhanced Patient Safety

Firstly, Pegasus enhances patient safety by providing nurses with instant access to accurate and up-to-date patient information, allowing them to make informed decisions and reduce the risk of medication errors.

Additionally, EHR systems streamline the documentation process, saving time and minimizing errors associated with manual charting. Through improved care coordination, nurses can easily communicate and collaborate with other healthcare professionals,  ensuring seamless and efficient patient care.

Furthermore, nursing education on EHR equips nurses with the skills to access evidence-based guidelines and best practices, promoting high-quality care and improved patient outcomes. EHRs also enable data-driven decision-making by collecting and analyzing patient data, empowering nurses to assess outcomes and contribute to quality improvement initiatives.

Pegasus also streamlines workflow processes, reduces paperwork, and increases overall productivity. Lastly, nursing education on EHRs opens up opportunities for research and population health management, allowing nurses to contribute to studies, analyze data, and inform public health strategies.

Moreover, the integration of EHR systems in nursing education enhances patient engagement by providing portals for patients to access their health information and actively participate in their care.
