This list of competencies came from the Direct Care components of the HL7 EHR System Functional Model. In some cases functional statements were not changed as they can also serve as competencies. For example, the HL7 EHR System Functional Model statement of “Access Healthcare Guidance” was unchanged, except for the preamble that applies to all Clinical Information Management Competencies, as “Using an EHR, the nurse can: Access Healthcare Guidance.” The HL7 EHR System Functional Model statement of Communication with Medical Devices was changed from “Communication with Medical Devices” to “Facilitate Communication with Medical Devices” to make it a Clinical Information Management Competency.
