Welcome to Clinical Connections!
Dear MUSC Medical Staff,
The Epic ambulatory project is underway and picking up steam as we head toward the May 17 go live. I have just completed my training in the past week and the best tip I can give you at the moment is to plan ahead and don't leave the training to the last moment. The Epic interface is very powerful with a lot of options. You will need to set aside time to attend training, practice, build customization, and most importantly work with your clinic staff on workflow. Plan on 15-20 hours of time. It will be well worth it at go live!
Thank you.
Patrick J. Cawley, MD
