Quick Access to the:
- Q: Where can I chart and record newborn screens, ASQ's, MCHAT's, PHQ-2's, and post-partum depression screens?
- A: Right now there are specific tabs for this under the "rooming" left-hand tab, but I am working to get these all moved to the more intuitive "screening" left-hand tab. Once completed, they should pull automatically into your note if you use the note templates.
- Q: Where do I record developmental milestones?
- A: Age-specific questions can be found on the "screening" left-hand tab and will automatically be pulled in with the created note templates.
- Q: Where do I record histories?
- A: All of these are located in the "rooming" left-hand tab. When you complete them they will automatically pull into the note template. I am working to get "free text" spaces added in these sections for easier charting.
- Q: Where do I commit diagnoses and write assessments/plans?
- A: All of this can be done in the "Plan" left-hand tab section. You have to remember to hit the little "paper with an arrow" button to pull into the note.
- Q: Do my in-clinic orders for meds and vaccines need co-signed?
- A: Right now there is not a hard-stop but we are working on it. In the meantime, your precepting attending should review your orders before you hit submit.
- Q: Are we still doing paper orders?
- A: No. Everything is ordered to the nurses electronically which will automatically change your "patient status circle" to blue.
- Q: Do we still use the flags in the hallway?
- A: Yes. Just the same as before with one exception, please now use the BLUE flag instead of white to denote when a patient order is placed. This corresponds with the EPIC-mandated blue "patient-status circle" when an order is placed. Please also updated the "patient status circle" throughout your visit. The only changes a physician is responsible for is turning it from green to yellow when you start an ecounter, and to red if you are done with the patient and do not need any nursing orders. If you place nursing orders, they will change the "patient status circle" to white when they are working on it and "black" when they are done.
- Q: Do we still print out Clinic Visit Summaries?
- A: Yes, except now they are called "After Visit Summaries". They should still say who the patient needs to follow up with, when, and for what reason.
- Q: Should we make ourselves the PCP (Primary Care Provider)?
- A: Yes!! If you want more continuity! Right click on your patient if they are going to be yours, and click "add to care team." If it is a complicated patient, you should add your resident family on the care team as well.
- Q: How do I reset my Epic password?
- A: EPIC requires that you change your password regularly. You cannot reset your password through a Clinic computer Epic link. You must use the UMC remote access link first. See this document for instructions
- Q: Can I put EPIC on my mobile devices (Android, IOS)
- A: Yes! Here are the instructions for the EPIC mobile app (instructions); Download the Haiku App on IPhone or Android FIRST, then go here: Mobile App Setup. There are other IOS r Device Apps: IPad (Canto), IWatch (Limerick)
