Editor's Notes
- Hi, I’m Phil! This is me inside a Cray supercomputer. I live in Ferndale, WA I’m an IT trainer, Certified by Epic for your rollout Before this … I built tracking system for neonatal/perinatal transfers for Kaiser Permanente in Oakland I Designed small apps at Health 2.0 hackathons And I volunteer for open data, data portability, and data privacy
- Before we dive in to this workshop, let’s make the case for spending our time on this.
- Folks look at their iphones and androids 150 times a day You’re going to be using Epic like that. Frequently, continuously, every day.
- Depending on your role, you may touch Epic more than 3000 times a year. Small improvements in your knowledge and skill can make a big difference.
- Epic is pervasive
- Half of all Americans have their data in Epic
- More than 2 out of 3 Stage 7 US hospitals, children’s hospitals, and clinics use Epic
- So your time today should be useful here and everywhere you’re likely to work
- So, if you’re going to make Epic a second nature, skill, this is one of the best ways to start
- We’ll get you up to speed faster than just learning on the job
- See? Our nifty chart proves it. More knowledge, sooner.
- But it’s also about covering all the important bits and focusing on just the parts you’ll use on your service
- So this takes us to your curriculum for the next two days
- If 20% of the product offers 80% of the value, which 20% should we focus on? We did our homework.
- We’ve been with your counterparts in wards, surgeries, clinics, and the hospital cafeteria. We studied Epic’s support-line logs. We compared how Epic is used differently by different departments.
- We recorded the common uses, the frequent mistakes, and the gotchas. We also captured how our users troubleshot problems and discovered shortcuts We saw how they became good enough that they don’t see Epic, they see the clinical data.
- We compiled them and we’re sharing those findings with you. We’ll also follow up with you “at your elbow” support for weeks after training.
- Along the way you’ll find something else: Epic has its own way of doing things.
- Like any system, Epic reflects the people who designed and build it (see Conway’s Law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway's_law). So Epic brings its own culture, its world view of your work and your patients’ information. This shows up in how they organize information and the software. This also shows up in Epic’s own language, terms, and jargon. We’re going to cover this so you become resilient, with enough insight to troubleshoot on your own what we don’t cover in class.
- Like your phones and computers and your cars, Epic is always being updated.
- Epic is a moving target Today’s Epic isn’t Yesterday’s Epic Ongoing change (1000s/year) Mostly improvements Experienced? This is your refresher
- Just one last reason why this training is worth your time.
- Quality matters to your service, to your patients We’ll work together on preventing charting mistakes. This is a safe space to fail while you learn. And we’ll train for speed and accuracy when you use Epic, so you can focus on your work, not the system.
