Training Logistics • Half-day and full-day sessions • Lafayette City Center
Capacity Planning • Ambulatory Practices: Epic recommends the following reduction in capacity for each full day (i.e., 2 sessions) after go-live: • Day 1: 50% • Day 2: 35% • Day 3: 25% • Day 4: 20% • Day 5: 20% • Day 6: 20% • One solution will not fit all needs – you know your practice and clinicians best!
Support Post Go-live • After each go-live, there will be three weeks of significant at-the-elbow support • Most through Super Users; some contract employees • Schedule staff to take advantage of post Go-Live support • Plan time away next Spring and Summer with training in mind

Epic-Induced Insomnia? • Epic seems more rigid • In-basket anxiety • This is going to be hard However… • Prior to Go-Live think hard about the way you document • Epic can make it easier to generate better notes • Epic already does lots of things our system can’t do • This is the right move • We have work to do between here and there Questions?
