Mapping MRI Scheduling Questions to the Electronic MRI Screening Form • Providence, Kadlec & Swedish MRI Screening questions were evaluated to identify the standardized scheduling questions • Standardized Scheduling questions were mapped to the Electronic MRI Screening Form
Real-Time Schedule Updates Now Appear for Appointments on the Snapboard • An appointment that didn't start on time shows a red bar that represents the delay, and the appointment appears at its projected start time instead of the original, planned start time. • A real time projection conflict warning from the Snapboard or Change Appointment activity
Interventional Managers – IR Radar Dashboards & MetricsDashboards – melded into one great board (2 slides) • On time and late start metrics • Room turnover metrics • Procedure length accuracy metrics Top Half of Report
Quickly Follow Up on Studies From the Breast Coordinator Dashboard • Breast imaging coordinators can easily see what follow-up is needed for each study • Click a link to quickly access the appropriate activity to perform the follow-up • In the Follow-up Details report there is a new section called Required Follow Up that lists all of the items requiring follow up for the selected patient. Clicking the hyperlink will take you to the correction location in Epic to complete the follow up.
Get to the Link Orders Activity from the Appointments Without Orders Report • In the Link Requests or Link Orders activity, select the Show all available requests or Show all available orders check box to manually link requests or orders to multiple visits in a panel or other sequentially linked appointments. • Epic has replaced the Verify Orders button in the Appointments Without Orders report with the Link Appt to Orders button so that HOV appointments can be linked to orders. Now, users can link appointments to orders for HOV, inpatient and outpatient visits.
Improved Imaging Audit Trail • The audit trail now matches the aesthetics of Hyperspace with print groups that show order, appointment, exam, results, pathology, and billing information. • Schedulers, clinical users, and managers see information about existing charges, printout history, and patient events. *Locate from Epic Button
External Imaging Results Report Redesign • A more visually pleasing, external result report to send to external referring providers • External report can now include important information about the patient, exam, providers, result, and recommendations for follow-up. * Pictures will not be included
Ambulatory Stored Image Workflow • A Store Image workflow allows the ordering provider to perform imaging that can be stored in PACS. The exam is given an accession number in order to facilitate storage. The exams auto finalize without any involvement from Radiology staff. The images are available in Epic Chart Review under the Imaging tab. • Three Providence sites are piloting this workflow starting in April, 2019 • PMG Bridgeport Sports Medicine 4000068000 • PMG Bridgeport Family Medicine 405507000 • PMG Stewart Meadows Sports Medicine 4000058000

Sexual Orientation/Gender Identity (SOGI) Overview • SOGI Phase 3 focuses on improving the patient experience and on better supporting patient-centered care. You can already capture nuances in patients' sex and gender, that goes beyond their legal sex, in Epic today. • There are new updates throughout the system to use and show patient’s gender or sex assigned at birth instead of legal sex when appropriate. The Sex field in Demographics now displays areas to capture Gender identity, Sex assigned at birth, and Sexual orientation. • There are also updates throughout the system that make it easier for users to see a patient's preferred name, such as in Patient Lists, Headers, Chart Review , Reports or InBasket. This is especially important for transgender or non-binary patients, but also helps improve the patient experience for any patient with a preferred name that differs from their legal name. • SmartLinks have been updated to retrieve a patient's titles and pronouns based on the patient's gender identity. • MyChart Patients can now view and edit more on the new Personal Information page, including: preferred name legal sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, and sex assigned at birth. • Baby Names now display the mothers preferred name as part of the baby naming convention.
