In order to increase proficiency on advanced EHR features, we designed and evaluated two advanced EHR classes focused on effectively managing patient-level data, efficient chart review, documentation, and entering orders.
However, it should be emphasized that subjects in the MM group did not score significantly less than those in the SNT group even though they were only given a single, brief overview of the mind map learning strategy without a practice period to increase proficiency in creating mind maps.
As one gains greater control over a language, both performance and the underlying neural substrates change to reflect increased proficiency, and presumably, more automatic processing [2], [4], [8], [10], [32] [34].
