SimChart is an Electronic Health Record (EHR) platform designed specifically as a learning tool for nursing students, modeled after the actual EHR software used in hospitals. It gives students hands-on practice with electronic charting and clinical documentation — including vital signs, admission histories, assessments, care plans, patient teaching plans, SBAR reports, and medication administration records — within a web-based educational environment that closely mirrors real clinical workflows.
SimChart translates classroom learning into practical EHR documentation tasks using a library of pre-built, diverse patient profiles and charting scenarios that reflect the range of documentation situations students will encounter in real clinical settings. By practicing documentation in a simulated environment that matches the interface and workflow logic of actual hospital EHR systems, students graduate with familiarity and confidence in electronic charting rather than encountering it for the first time on their first clinical shift.
SimChart gives instructors the flexibility to modify pre-built case studies and patient profiles, or create entirely new simulated patients and documentation scenarios to match specific course objectives and real-world clinical contexts. Evaluation and reporting tools make it easy to assess and grade student documentation directly within the platform, while implementation guides and training videos provide step-by-step support to help faculty get the most from the system.
Course-Based SimChart is a web-based simulated EHR system specifically designed with a course-based approach, with case studies and activities mapped directly to corresponding Elsevier nursing textbooks across six course areas: Fundamentals of Nursing, Health Assessment, Maternal Newborn and Women's Health Nursing, Medical-Surgical Nursing, Pediatric Nursing, and Psychiatric Nursing. Course-Based SimChart integrates with Sherpath and Sherpath Vantage for greater ease of use, making it the preferred choice for programs using Elsevier's integrated course solutions.
