Medical Center policy requires everyone who uses the hospital's clinical information system to be certified and have a personal password. The information system is used to access patient information and lab results as well as to write orders. There are severe penalties for using a password other than your own to access information. The certification process includes training of 1 1/2 hours in a large group, plus a 20-30 minute hands-on session. The deadline for students to complete the CIS training is September 1.
