Using the PLAY (PLYIH) Domain to reinforce your skills
What it is:
The PLAY (PLYIH) Domain of the Electronic Health Record (EHR) is a “copy” of Island Health’s EHR, including electronic documentation and computerized provider order entry (CPOE). By accessing the PLAY (PLYIH) Domain, you will get hands-on experience to help prepare you to use the EHR. Specifically, you will:
- Get experience with the basic look and feel of the EHR.
- Develop an understanding of electronic documentation and computerized provider order entry (CPOE).
- Be able to practice basic daily EHR workflows in a safe environment.
- Be able to demo basic EHR functionality to your peers.
What it is not:
The PLAY (PLYIH) Domain is not:
- A ‘live’ view of clinical areas or patient information.
- A perfect view of the complete functions of the EHR.
- A forum to suggest changes to the EHR.
- A complete record with in-depth data specific to all specialties.
We are continually updating and making improvements within this domain.
