PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: With increasing documentation demands and decreasing reimbursements, we as physicians are trying to balance our computer screens and our patients. Many the electronic medical records (EMRs), and including Epic, have made great strides to both streamlining function and improving the ability to customize their standard foundational products. That being said, standard physician orientation is short and often in a large classroom format that too often fails to show physicians the innovative tools they can use to customize their own interactions with EPIC. Furthermore, otolaryngologists have a unique blend of procedural oriented clinics, inpatient admissions and surgical cases that each have a different interface within EPIC.

This Mini Expert Series is designed to get you home sooner, by demonstrating high yield tips for improved Epic efficiency. All recommendations and shortcuts will be specific to the Epic EMR and thus the program is designed for providers with Epic at their institution. Bring your laptop and remote connection, because after a short review of the top universal efficiency tips we will spend the remainder of the session working with the audience. Limiting attendance to 25 attendees will allow us to troubleshoot specific questions and provide some custom assistance. Following questions, general resources for further self-directed customization, learning and custom building, will be provided.

OUTCOME OBJECTIVE 1: Improve your efficiency in data extraction from the EPIC medical record environment.

OUTCOME OBJECTIVE 2: Streamline documentation with customizable templates and SmartTools.

OUTCOME OBJECTIVE 3: Reduce clicks for common ordering and billing tasks.

BACKGROUND STATEMENT: We are both members of the National Epic Steering Committee & certified Epic Physician Builders. JPG is from an academic setting the JRR from a community hospital setting.
