The use of simulation to test ieMR clinical workflows and clinician change readiness for rollout

Recognising the role of simulation in testing workplace transition (Adler et al 2009) and the recommendation for the use of simulation to improve electronic medical record use (Mohan et al 2017), simulated scenarios were used to prepare for the change to integrated electronic medical records (ieMR) at the Sunshine Coast University Hospital. Fifteen inter-professional and inter-departmental ieMR simulation exercises were conducted as part of the health service's preparation for digital transition.
