As we prepare for the transition to Epic, employees will gain access to several AI tools that can help reduce their everyday administrative burden. One of these tools is native to the EHR, and all others are compatible with our new workflows alongside Epic.

In the context of implementing a new electronic health record (EHR), “change management” refers to the structured approach to transitioning health care organizations, teams, and individual users from current clinical workflows and/or legacy systems to a new platform.

Epic will bring many everyday clinical practices closer to the EHR. For example, scope-based image capture will be simplified with an Epic app called Lumens. Lumens facilitates procedural documentation with image integration via a third-party solution, Hyland.

Research is an essential part of our DNA as an academic health system. However, good research depends on good data, strict compliance to ensure patient safety and data integrity, and the ability to collaborate. Epic weaves research capabilities into system design, to minimize barriers to using applications that support clinical research.
