TRAINING | MethodsWhat training options are available? As with any medical device, competency is vital for safe use. All users of Epic need to be proficient in order to provide safe care. The few hours of training prior to Go-Live will save you hundreds of hours of inefficiency later. Every effort will be made to optimize training, but your commitment is vital as well. Training Specialty-tailored training will be provided for physicians in advance of the Go-Live, so you will be able to familiarize yourself with Epic and establish your personal Charting Tools. All physicians and mid-level providers are required to complete the training appropriate to their specialty and level of proficiency with Epic. Training is a blended approach using both online courses and instructor-led courses. The course catalog can be viewed by clicking here. During training, we mentioned the "play" environment which allows you to use the "tent card" and workbook you received in class to practice in the system. The Epic PLY icon is available on each computer within the hospital system, but we would like to extend those capabilities outside of the facility.Use the link below to access PLY from home. Remember to use your full domain account name (i.e. MYSRHS\username). Please contact the SRHS Help Desk for further assistance @ 809-1777 Timing & Locations Online courses will be available May 2012 which can be accessed remotely from any computer with Internet access. The online courses are a prerequisite for the instructor-led courses. To access online course goto www.educode.com/srhs Instructor-Led Courses These courses will be held on site at both SRH and OSH. Physician Training begins May 2012 and continue through June 2012. However, tracks are based on physician specialty, and all tracks may not begin and end on the same date. Will training be ongoing? Yes. The majority of training will be 6-8 weeks prior to Go-Live but additional training will be provided on an ongoing basis (for new users as well as for significant updates).

What happens if I don’t pass the Training Assessment? All physicians will be allowed 3 separate opportunities to complete the training assessment. Please refer to the SRHS Epic Training Policy for further explanation. What if I forget everything I learned between the time I take my classes and when the Epic system goes live?
