Epic is here at last!
Overall, we are able to care for patients in a safe environment. Our physicians and staff have done a great job of identifying issues that need attention by the technical team. Most are annoying repairs that are ongoing and tomorrow will be easier than today. Our superusers group has been supplemented by consultants from Encore who have been helping.
We have identified a bunch of technical issues that the Epic team will be working on tonight. This evening is better than the morning and tomorrow will be even better. I am so pleased with our physicians' level of preparedness and how great they rolled with the punches.
The one learning item that I would like to pass to the docs is that the correct order when a patient is admitted should be "bed request." We should not write an order with the word "admit" in it. That word is for hospitalists.
See you all tomorrow in the ED for Epic, day 2.
