The YouTube video titled “EMR vs EHR: What is the difference?” offers an insightful comparison between Electronic Medical Records (EMR) and Electronic Health Records (EHR) (YouTube, 2018). While the video effectively distinguishes the two concepts, it does not inherently require interaction from students. It is designed as a passive learning resource without built-in prompts for engagement or response. Students engaging with the video are likely to respond in several ways. They might take notes on the key differences between EMRs and EHRs, which would help solidify their understanding of the material. Additionally, students might reflect on the practical implications of each system for healthcare providers and patients, fostering a deeper comprehension of how these technologies impact the healthcare industry.

To reinforce the concepts presented in the video, I propose an activity where students create a detailed comparison chart of EMRs and EHRs. This task encourages students to actively process the information and organize it in a way that highlights the distinct characteristics and uses of each type of record. The activity would develop students’ understanding of healthcare technology and enhance their critical thinking skills. Students can utilize digital tools such as Google Docs or Microsoft Word to create their comparison charts. The flexibility in the medium ensures that students can choose the method that best suits their learning preferences and technological resources.

For the comparison chart activity, students can submit their work through online platforms like Google Classroom or via email. This allows the instructor to review the charts and provide constructive feedback efficiently. The use of digital platforms facilitates timely communication and ensures that students receive the feedback they need to improve their understanding.

By implementing these strategies, educators can effectively utilize the “EMR vs EHR” video to enhance student engagement and learning outcomes. Encouraging students to take notes and reflect on the content, followed by a structured activity with a clear feedback mechanism, helps deepen their comprehension of the differences between EMRs and EHRs. This approach not only reinforces key concepts but also promotes active learning and critical thinking. The suggested activities are manageable and scalable, making them suitable for classes of various sizes and learning environments.
