One very recent means of informing healthcare professional disciplines is through online education programs from any site with Internet access. This capability has the potential of organizing information needed by each healthcare specialty discipline into instructional units that yield defined skills components for building a professional discipline skills profile. This portion of the EHR Web site will list the site identifiers for topics cataloged in a fashion consistent with the HIBOK/SWEBOK classification of knowledge subject areas so that the viewer can access each site to assess its value of relative to the viewer’s educational objectives. The viewer can then conduct each instructional unit individually and independently. As these online instructional sites are able to measure mastery of the concepts and document achievement of competence, these course grades can be forwarded online to professional discipline registers of continuing professional education.
