#269Introduction to CRIS for Nursing
 
Description:
CRIS is the Clinical Research Information System used by the NIH Clinical Center and Institute staff for entering orders, viewing results, and documenting patient care.

This class is the first of three sessions that nursing staff must attend. The CRIS Introduction course provides hands-on experience and an overview of the CRIS functionality for Nursing Staff only. Users will learn how to locate patients, create patient lists, view results, orders and clinical documentation, and how to retrieve and print reports. Registered Nurses who attend this session should also attend CRIS Non-Prescriber Order Entry and the Clinical Documentation with Medication Charting sessions.

Review of the appropriate computer based training module is recommended. All CRIS Web Based Training modules are located on the CRIS website.

It is recommended that before attending class, students complete and return a CRIS Access Form, which is required for assignment of privileges to access the CRIS.
