Level I Scavenger Hunt: EHR Orientation
Faculty Instructions and Answer Key
The chart for this initial student activity has already been placed in your EHR for you. Have the students access
the chart ORIENTATION,MYLES LANE0002 (0721). The activity you will give to your students has identified this
patient and is a separate document titled: Neehr Perfect EHR Level 1 Scavenger Hunt – EHR Orientation.
Faculty instructions
1. Review the Orientation Activity document prior to assigning it to students.
2. Build the required chart in your EHR (see Section C below) or request Neehr Perfect to add it. We suggest making a “Master” copy in
your school’s Secured division for safe keeping and future use. Then make a copy into your school’s Common division for student use.
Insert the name of the created chart copy into the Orientation Activity document.
3. Complete the activity yourself prior to assigning it to students. Skip the step where the answers are submitted via a note.
4. Assign the activity to your students by distributing the activity document to them. They will submit their answers to you within the EHR
(see Section A below). Reference the Answer Key (see Section B below).
Section A: Receiving students’ answers
To assign this activity, distribute the Scavenger Hunt activity document to the students. This can be sent via email, through your learning
management system, or printed and distributed in class. Students will complete the questions on the Orientation Activity document while
referencing the specific chart in the EHR. Near the end of the activity, the students are instructed to submit their answers to their instructor
(cosigner) as a note in the patient chart. Please note: All students will be working in the same chart, but will not be able to see each other’s work
as long as you do not cosign their notes.
