Please note: EHR Tutor works best on Google Chrome, Apple Safari, or Microsoft Edge. 

We do not support Internet Explorer.

Logging Inwww.ehrtutor.com and log in with your school provided email address. If you haven’t registered before follow the on-screen instructions to choose your school and create a password. If you think you’ve purchased a license that should still be active you may have registered with a different email address.

CoursesOnce you have logged in, you will see all of the courses in which your teachers have added you as a student on the left side. If you do not see a course you believe you should be enrolled in, contact your instructor. Or, if your instructor gave you a course identifier, use the Add a Course button to enroll yourself.

ActivitiesOnce your courses have been added, you will find Activities for each course. These are weekly or daily assignments from your teachers that must be completed. Just click on your course, then activity, review your teachers' instructions, and open the chart by clicking on your patient’s name. You may even be asked to create your own patient from scratch if you’re using EHR Tutor for clinical rotations. You will be reminded not to use any HIPAA identifiers.

Patient SummaryOnce you’ve opened or created your chart you will find the Patient Summary. At the top, you will find your patient’s name, DOB, attending physician, MRN#, height, and weight. The body of the Patient Summary also includes vital signs, orders, allergies, and lab results if present.

Left-side Navigation: The left-side navigation is going to get you through the whole chart. To become successful with EHR Tutor, you must familiarize yourself with every part of this left-side navigation. This is where we will find our Patient Summary Tab, Patient Info, Results like Labs and Images/Diagnostics, Provider info like Chief Complaint and History, Allergies & Home Medications, Immunizations, Notes, and your Flowsheets including Vital Signs, Assessments, Daily Care, IO, Blood Administration, Behavioral Health, and more. Along with this left-side navigation is also where we will find our MAR, Orders, Patient Education, SBARS, Care Plans, Discharge, and Barcodes.

Chart TypeYou can even change the type of chart by clicking on the blue box at the top left-hand corner. This can change your chart to Outpatient, EMS Run, Home Health Care, or Sports Medicine. Some students think they’ve lost work when they’ve just changed the type of chart.

Doing Work: Most pages of the chart work the same way. Look for a New Entry button or an Add button. Once you’ve used these to open up the chart you can begin to do work. Enter your work or values, and submit your work. You can edit work you’ve saved, scroll from left to right if you have lots of values on one page, or even delete work if you feel you need to try again. You can only edit or delete your own work.

LabsUnder Results / Labs please note that you can enter numbers or words in as values. Your instructors may request to know if lab results are high or low.

AdmissionThe Admission Flowsheet is a long flowsheet that covers a lot of information in different parts of the chart. If you review an allergy on the admission flowsheet that work will also appear under your allergies page or vice versa. The Admission Flowsheet is also where you will find the principal diagnosis or the Admission Diagnosis.

Vital Signs GraphsUnder Vital Signs, if you upload more than one set of data you will be able to see vital signs graphs and trends.

Additional ChartingAdditional charting for OB and Pediatric patients will appear on your chart as long as your patient is the appropriate Age and Sex. If you’re stuck because you can only find pediatric charting for a clinical patient, you may need to edit their birthdate to a more appropriate date. Go to Patient Information on the left side navigation to fix it.

OrdersYou can also sign orders in EHR Tutor! Just go to the Orders page, choose your approving provider, and add your order. If you can’t find the medication you’re looking for, use the word “Other” and describe the medication in your comments below. Once your orders have been added, you can use barcode scanning in the Sim Lab. Scan your manikin’s barcode to go straight to the MAR and scan the patient’s medication to mark it as given, held, refused, etc.

Patient Education LibraryThere’s a great resource on the Patient Education flowsheet where you can find learning materials to print. Take a look at what your patient should know about their medications!

    Hi Nina - your instructor will need to create a new activity for you to create a new patient.  This is nothing something you are able to do yourself.  Please reach out directly to your instructor.

    For clinical activities you can only allow students to create one patient per activity. If you're using individual / shared patients then you can add as many pre-built patients as you want. Send us an email at support@ehrtutor.com if there's anything else we can help with.

    Is there a submit activity button or do our changes automatically save and are graded?

    Gicelle - just submitting each page will allow your instructor to grade your work.  There is no final "submit activity" button.  Just make sure to properly submit each page by pressing the blue "submit" or "sign" button.

    I put in meds under the order tab and clicked "sign" I want to change some of the meds I put in, but I cannot figure out how to delete or edit what I have. I don't want to edit with student notes, I want to start it over. Is there a way?

    Hali - as a student you are not able to edit orders.  You can only edit with student notes, as you mentioned, or discontinue the order and create a new one.  This is done to mimic real EHR systems as closely as possible.

    Gicelle - There is no Submit Activity button.  Just save each individual page using the blue button (Submit, Sign, etc) and your instructor will be able to grade & review your work.

    Hi there, is there a way to print from the various sections in EHR tutor once you have documented? My clinical Instructor wants us to print off behavioral health assessments and care plans but I cannot seem to figure out how.

    Thank you

    Hanna - Please use your web-browser's print function.  Usually CTRL+P will bring it up on Windows machines.

    What can I do if my clinical instructor gave me the code to add the course but it did not work? I can not add a course and do my home work. Please help

    Is there a way to print up the forms from EHR so we can make sure we are getting the information we need while doing an assessment on a patient?  We are not allowed to bring our computers in during the assessment and having a hard copy to take notes on would be very, very helpful.

    Nicholas - you can print any page from EHR Tutor using your web browser's print functionality.  Just File > Print while you are looking at a flowsheet.

    There is no way to include all the choices in the dropdowns.  Just the sections and the form itself.

    I created a "New Inpatient Chart" and it automatically generated a patient Name. It is My Name. It will not let me edit the name. My instructor said that I should be able to edit. Can you help me?
