Abstrakt:	Introduction The benefits of Electronic Health Records (EHR) use in clinical care are well documented. However, without proper education and training on EHR systems, clinicians may face challenges in utilizing these technological tools effectively. Suboptimal usage of EHR systems can affect productivity. This study assesses the effectiveness of an end-user-designed education bundle as a supplement to existing training in EHR training for house officers. Additionally, it evaluates the effectiveness of using non-conventional teaching modalities (i.e., short TikTok-style videos) to see how effective and accepted it was in comparison to traditional educational material. Methods A single-armed pre-post-study design consisting of 36 house officers was employed to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention bundle. The bundle consists of a series of EHR tips and tricks as identified by experienced senior medical officers. The three components of the bundle are a handbook with consolidated tips and tricks, a long-form lecture video, and a series of TikTok-style videos. Distribution was done through healthcare collaborative platforms such as TigerConnect™ (Los Angeles, USA) and email. Results Participants found that the inclusion of our supplementary education bundle results in more effective training for EHR usage, with mean effectiveness with and without the educational bundle being 7.77 and 6.44, respectively (p < 0.001). There were also significant improvements in ease of finding information (7.67 vs 7.14, p = 0.016), performing general functions (7.50 vs 6.89, p = 0.0050), and overall efficiency (7.39 vs 6.92, p = 0.022). We also found TikTok-style videos were non-inferior to more traditional forms of education such as a handbook and traditional long-form lecture videos (p = 0.250). Conclusion An end-user-driven education bundle focusing on high-yield, advanced functions may be useful in enhancing the overall EHR system experience for junior doctors. Of note, TikTok-style videos may be no less effective than traditional methods of EHR teaching. Competing Interests: Human subjects: Consent was obtained or waived by all participants in this study.
