EKHR Training Information

Orientation and training for the eKHR application is recommended for Unit Clerks and Clinical Resource Nurses/Charge Nurses who are required to work in the system. Allied Health and other health professionals may choose to attend an orientation session providing “view and print only” access in eKHR.

Unit Clerks: Within their scope of practice, unit clerks enter critical information into the eKHR including patient demographics, dialysis status and patient location, lab results pertaining to infections status (for Cognos board) and medication orders. Patients are entered into the eKHR schedule so that treatment stations display on the Cognos boards located in the hemodialysis units. Unit clerks receive training over two days:

• Day 1: Demographics and Medications – a comprehensive orientation to entering a patient’s demographics, dialysis status, infectious status, medications and printing medication reports. Day 1 is required before attending Day 2.
• Day 2: Scheduling and Transfers – orientation to scheduling including the permanent and actual schedules and transferring of patients between sites.

Clinical Resource Nurses/Charge Nurses: CRNs/CNs require an understanding of navigation through all modules of the eKHR to access information about patients. As primary support for patient transfers, a clear understanding of the scheduling module and Cognos boards is needed. CRNs/CNs receive an orientation over one day:

• CRN and CN Orientation – provides an overview of all eKHR modules and specific training for scheduling.

Allied Health/Other Health Professionals: view and print only access is provided to Allied Health Professionals for the purpose of finding patient-specific information and to print reports.

• View Only – this 2-hour orientation to eKHR demonstrates navigation through the modules to view information required. Printing reports is also reviewed.

Update: eKHR Trainings are facilitated by the Provincial Renal Educators. If you have any questions regarding eKHR education or to book training dates, please email the Renal Educators at mrp.ed@sharedhealthmb.ca.  Training dates are subject to change as we are currently working through an increase in training requests. We thank you for your patience.
