This study was a randomized, parallel , non- blinded controlled trial of real-time, focused educational interventions in an intervention arm compared with usual training and support in the control arm. Improvement in performance, defined as the time between opening and closing a progress note, and number of notes completed after shift , were the primary outcomes. Physician satisfaction was a secondary outcome. Participants from one 550-bed Academic Independent Medical Center were invited to participate if they were full-time hospitalists or residents in internal medicine with no prior experience with the EPIC electronic health record.
