Clinical Transformation Initiative
Web Based Training Modules


CTI web based training logo
Children’s National Medical Center is currently in the process of aligning clinical processes, organizational behavior, and emerging technologies through our Clinical Transformation Initiative (CTI). CTI is an exciting process that is transforming how Children’s delivers health care. This transition to complete electronic medical records (EMR) will enable us to enhance our world-class care and quality outcomes through the use of best practices in quality, safety, and work flow. A small percentage of hospitals across the country are fully electronic, so the implementation of the EMR is an exciting time for Children’s as we lead the way in implementing new technologies that are designed to ensure that quality care in the safest environment is provided to each patient.

Training is required on Children’s clinical systems to obtain system access. The web-based training will require 2-4 hours to complete.

You will need a user id and password to access these modules. If you have not been given the user id and password to access this training, please call our Medical Staff Office between 8 am and 5 pm Monday through Friday at 301-572-1327. Our staff will ask you for your name, social security number and your e-mail address, to provide your security access to the modules and assessments.

When you complete the training, you will need to successfully pass a competency test (CHEX), for your system security access to be granted. A link to access the competency test is included below.

To launch the training, identify the module(s) applicable to your role and click on the module name.
