EPIC special upgrades coming Tuesday the 14th

EPIC special upgrades have been undergoing testing by each application over the past 2 weeks. We have identified a few problem areas in Radiant, but have hopefully corrected them. Given the complexity of our workflows in medical imaging and the overall number of SU's that are going to be installed there is always potential for strange things to occur.

As end users you should be aware that if you notice anything functioning in an odd maner on Tuesday the 14th, we encourage you to proactively document the issue and report it to the help desk.

One item that will change with the SU package is that when one tech begins an exam and another attempts to end it, a warning displays but can be overridden. Many of the other upgrades involve things that are not automatically installed but allow us to later use the function. An example of this is, soon we will be able to display the "unscheduled orders" of the patient on the HTML field in much the same way we currently display "other appointments".

If there is ever functionality that you think would be cool, let us know. It might be part of this package and we can use it, or it might be something we can request for future packages.

If there are problems that occur or you feel the system is not as user friendly as it was prior to the SU's, please let us know by contacting the radiant on-call person.

Thanks......
