As part of our commitment to accessibility, we’re developing tools to reduce cognitive processing for clinicians. That means understanding each clinician’s use of Epic, prioritizing the tools they use most, and tucking away the rest. We call the project Simplify. Recognizing that one size will never fit all, we’re empowering clinicians to further personalize their Epic experience to their unique needs. Clinicians can select parts of the software to hide or collapse and rearrange screen elements to streamline their workflows according to how they work best. This helps them focus on essential functions—enhancing their overall experience and efficiency. Look for more from Simplify in the coming year.

Advances in tech have made it possible to care for patients in the comfort of their home—from low-acuity monitoring all the way to hospital-level care. Last year alone, patients in the Epic community avoided 15,000 inpatient days through hospital-at-home programs. We talked with Mass General Brigham, Baptist Health System KY & IN, and NYU Langone Health to learn how their at-home programs have reduced hospital stays and readmission rates while improving outcomes.

“The future of AI in healthcare is bright, especially with clinicians leading the way.” UMCG in the Netherlands is helping lead the use of generative AI in the Epic community. Stephanie Klein Nagelvoort Schuit, Vice President, Board of Directors and Professor of Health Care Innovation at UMCG, sat down with us to discuss how the organization jumped into AI, balancing risk and opportunity, and identifying “game changers.” Check it out: https://lnkd.in/gcPjkBMW

Congrats to Jillian F. Rork, MD, a dermatologist from Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center and Clinics and the first researcher to receive funding from The National Institutes of Health (NIH) for a study using Cosmos data. Jillian is interested in learning how skin conditions affect people with Down syndrome. Using Cosmos, her team found that people with Down syndrome have a higher prevalence of alopecia areata and thyroid disease than the general population, and that the risk of thyroid disease is even greater in people with Down syndrome who have alopecia areata.

Clinicians spend their days on their feet and on the move. When given the choice, many prefer to use Epic on their phones rather than at stationary workstations. We sat down with Virtua Health, Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, and Inova Health to learn how they’ve benefitted from a mobile mindset. A couple of highlights: a 91% reduction in the average time to finish documentation for a patient assessment and—believe it or not—the joy of hosting on-site “dog parks” to promote nurse wellbeing and mobile device adoption. Thanks for the nod to Rover, our mobile app 😉 Read more: https://lnkd.in/enfUZmh8

“I love data — understanding it and using it.” Us too, doc. Us too. Our friends at Hamilton Health Sciences in Ontario, Canada recently created a new role focused on how Epic can advance their research. “Using Epic data for research is a logical next step to supporting research excellence in Hamilton,” said Darryl Leong, MD, cardiologist and newly minted associate chief medical information officer for research at HHS. “There has always been this awareness within HHS that the Epic system has enormous research potential, and that’s being crystalized in this new role.” HHS joined the Epic community in 2022, when they replaced dozens of electronic and paper systems and unified patient health information in one comprehensive system.

Happy National Read a Book Day! We love books around here—so much so that we have our own library, called Alexandria. (Oh, and we themed an entire conference around children’s books. 😊) Our staff can peruse Alexandria’s shelves and check out books on a variety of topics to help with career growth—time management, communication skills, leadership, medical topics, coding, writing…there are even cookbooks for our culinary team. What are your favorite books to read?

More and more organizations are coming together to support each other’s Epic implementations, sometimes traveling around the world to learn and lend a hand. Folks from Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust and Advocate Health (pictured below at the Apollo go-live in London), Woman's Hospital, and Memorial Hermann Health System recently spoke to us about how they collaborated with others to help make their go-lives a success.

An estimated 6.2 million Americans live with Alzheimer’s and other dementias in the US today. Among people 65 and older, one in every nine have Alzheimer’s. To help clinicians care for these patients across care settings, our friends at UCLA Health created a dementia program managed in Epic. Families are assigned a designated point person who’s trained in dementia care, and information about patients’ dementia progression, care needs, and future plans is made available to clinicians in the program and to primary care doctors—helping ensure that care is cohesive. Patients in the program have seen a 12% reduction in hospitalization, a 20% reduction in ED visits, and a 21% reduction in ICU stays.

The sun rose on a quiet campus this week. Far fewer smiling faces, horses and carriages, and storybook characters. Congrats to every customer and Epic employee who helped make UGM 2024 such a treat. Until next year, Your friends at Epic #healthcare #healthIT #UGM24
