Guiding principles for using an educational registry (EdR)
• EdRs must be treated with the same privacy and security protections as the EHR.
• Students should ask patients or their surrogates for permission to track them.
• Students are permitted to track only those patients with whom they have had a meaningful clinical relationship and must have legitimate educational intent.
• Students should confine their review to the minimum information necessary, and are permitted to track patients for the minimum length of time necessary to achieve educational benefit.
• Compliance must be monitored.
