Guided Learning
Step-by-step tasks teach learners where to look, what to verify, what to document and why the workflow matters.
Clinical Practice Lab
Real workflows. Fictional patients. Practical EHR experience.
The planned Umoja Afya EHR Clinical Practice Lab will give medical, nursing, pharmacy, allied-health and informatics students a safe way to practice realistic EHR workflows using synthetic patient records.
Free individual student accessSynthetic patients onlyGuided scenariosFaculty toolsCompetency feedback
Students can graduate with strong clinical knowledge yet have limited exposure to the practical digital workflows they encounter on their first hospital shift. The Practice Lab is designed to close that readiness gap without exposing real patient information.
Learning model
Three ways to learn the EHR.
Scenario Mode
Students receive a clinical situation and must complete the required workflow with scoring, feedback and safety checks.
Open Sandbox
Explore fictional patient charts and workflows independently without formal scoring or risk to real patient data.
Nursing track
Practice the documentation and coordination nurses use every shift.
- Patient assignment and unit lists
- Admission assessment and head-to-toe documentation
- Vital signs, intake/output and clinical flowsheets
- Medication administration and eMAR workflows
- Pain assessment and reassessment
- Fall-risk and pressure-injury documentation
- Care plans, education and shift handoff
- Transfer and discharge workflows
Medical track
Build transferable physician EHR habits.
- Pre-charting and chart review
- History and physical / SOAP documentation
- Problem-list and diagnosis management
- Medication reconciliation
- Computerized provider order entry
- Results review and follow-up
- Consults, admission and rounding workflows
- Discharge summary and outpatient follow-up
Scenario library
Start with polished scenarios—not hundreds of empty cases.
Hypertension follow-up
Review vitals, medications, allergies and document the encounter.
Diabetes visit
Reconcile medications, review labs and complete the care workflow.
Pneumonia admission
Assessment, orders, results, medication and inpatient transition.
Chest pain / ED
Triage, diagnostic workup, results review and disposition.
Medication allergy conflict
Recognize and resolve an unsafe medication-order scenario.
Hypoglycemia response
Nursing recognition, treatment documentation and reassessment.
Fall-risk patient
Assessment, prevention plan and shift handoff.
Discharge readiness
Medication review, education, follow-up and discharge workflow.
Faculty portal
Free student access. Institutional tools for educators.
The commercialization model keeps core individual practice free while universities can pay for private cohorts, assignment controls, faculty dashboards, analytics, custom scenarios, SSO and support.
1
Students
Practice free using synthetic patient records.
2
Faculty
Assign cases, review progress and provide feedback.
3
Universities
Purchase cohorts, analytics, custom scenarios, branding and support.
4
Hospitals
Benefit from graduates with practical workflow familiarity.
Safety by design
Never practice on real patient information.
The public student environment should be isolated from production and contain only fictional/synthetic patients, simulated orders, mock integrations and clear training-only labeling.
- TRAINING ENVIRONMENT — NOT FOR CLINICAL USE watermarks
- No real pharmacy, laboratory, imaging or insurance interfaces
- No real prescriptions or patient notifications
- Separate database, storage and authentication from production
- Warnings and safeguards against entering real patient information
- Scenario reset and periodic cleanup of student-created content
