[MCOH-EH] [External] EPIC

[Sampson, Deborah]

Thanks Melanie
This is great news and I have sent it to our IT people.
Epic is being considered in our facility since it is what our clinical affiliate (Mass General) uses and it would be helpful to have similar systems.
The expense is a bit daunting for smaller health systems.
I will be interested in knowing what your continued experience is!

We are in the build phase but have not implemented yet. So far we have learned some useful functionality:

*         You can designate "sensitive encounters" when the appointment is made, which places everything associated with that visit (appointment information, notes, vitals, labs, orders) visible to only your access group.

*         You can designate "sensitive notes" which would keep a specific note hidden but not the entire encounter.

*         Some chart elements are tied to the patient rather than the encounter and cannot be hidden from certain users. This includes medications, problem list, demographics.

*         Employees can be designated with a patient type that will trigger a pop-up box before anyone - inside emp/occ health or outside it - can access that record. The viewer must give their reason for accessing ("break the glass" feature.) This can be configured by dept/area to some degree and can be easily audited.

When we investigated last year there was no employee health or occ health module, no means to track OSHA logs or lost work time or do sharps logs. No way to segregate the records so that the hospital employees could not see the workers comp records.
Perhaps there is progress now

Be aware: [This message came from outside of Spartanburg Regional Network]

I am told they do have something to build but we are not allowed to use it because its connected to patients.

They do not when I spoke to them 3 months ago they said they were working on it and they 'could build it'. But that is what they said a year ago too and no word on cost.

Hi,

Does anyone know if EPIC has an occupational health component?
