It is no secret that electronic medical records systems have been a challenge for medical providers nation-wide, and in 2016 Stanford Health Care began its aggressive journey to counterbalance this.
Epic Concierge. Get efficient. Your time. Your way is as a 1:1 voluntary physician training intended for every provider. Participation in a personalized needs assessment, professional observation, and individualized training is promoted through a physician champion-driven model. Structured but individualized curricula are provided with pre/post analysis.
Committed to professional fulfillment and efficiency in practice, UHA Leadership resourced the program in 2019 to be available to the providers at a more regular and recurring cadence. The program thrives at building on existing competencies for Epic efficiency through regular cyclic process twice a year across all UHA clinics. The approach has also become more comprehensive by partnering with teams to integrate training of additional competencies (e.g. Quality) and by coordinating group training sessions for clinical staff with provider training.
