title: Lessons learned: developing education for a system-wide documentation project.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  As Summa Health System implemented an integrated interdisciplinary documentation system, educational sessions for staff had to be developed and presented.
  
  
  METHODS
  Structure of classes, scheduling of sessions, ongoing revisions and refinements, and key elements of success are shared.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Staff members incorporated the documentation changes into practice.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Other organizations may benefit and learn from the experiences of our two-hospital system in developing and scheduling education for a system-wide change project.
