Who says you can’t play at work?
You can start preparing for Epic even before classroom training begins on March 20. The Epic Playground includes interactive exercises to guide practice with simulated patients and data. Practice often to gain proficiency before Go-Live on May 14.
Here are a few quick tips for getting the most out of pre-classroom practice:
- Review instructions for accessing the Playground, along with generic training user IDs and passwords, available at epic.houstonmethodist.org/training (you can’t use your own network ID and password to log in)
- Complete your e-learnings
- Use the two guided activities available at epic.houstonmethodist.org/training > Quick Links section
- “Chart Review” for clinical staff
- “Patient Access” for patient access/revenue cycle staff
