Shands is now using an electronic medical record for order management and clinical documentation called EPIC .  All four steps listed below are required before July 1st – in order to receive access to Epic.

We are planning on opening EPIC online training by 5/15/2013.  The step we are currently monitoring is ensuring that all new incoming residents have created their GatorLink.

3. All new residents must complete this Epic E-learning training module and take the online assessment (max 2 attempts).

  • You must make 80% or better to pass.
  • You may log into the Epic Playground during your assessment to assist you with answering questions.
  • You have a maximum of 2 attempts to successfully complete this assessment. If you fail both attempts, you will be required to meet one-on-one with an Epic trainer in addition and before the scheduled in-person training.
  • You will not be able to meet with patients until all your Epic required training is complete.

4. During the week of orientation, residents will attend a required in-person training (approximately 4 hours) that will review material and talk about specific Epic functions for each specialty. These will be registered by the program coordinators by specialty and will be posted once they are scheduled on this site.

     ** Residents must take the e-learning training, pass the assessment online and attend 1 (one) in-person training before getting full access to Epic and the ability to see patients.
