Popis: Objectives: To determine if a simulated medical information system can improve the level of understanding of healthcare information technology students. Methods: The study involved 40 healthcare information technology students. All the students took the healthcare information technology course using the simulated medical information system. The primary outcome was a measure of their level of understanding assessed with a questionnaire using a five-point Likert-type scale. The questions were all included in the required knowledge for the Specific Behavioral Objectives for Healthcare Information Technologists (2016) and Senior Healthcare Information Technologists (ver. 1.1, 2017). To measure the level of understanding, median with 10th–90th percentile CI values for both sets of questionnaires were calculated for all the students. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to compare level of understanding before and after the training. Results: Some students were excluded because they failed to complete the questionnaires. For both Healthcare Information Technologists (n=37) and Senior Health Information Technologists (n=34), the level of understanding was significantly different before (median [10th–90th percentile]: 1175 [935–1271], 416 [302–513]) and after (1200 [1016–1472], 469.5 [351–527]) the training (p
