Changes coming on January 9th

As many of you know, changes to EPIC are now coming in a more scheduled fashion. The next date that these changes will be put into production will be January 9th. Here is a preview of some medical imaging related changes.

• New visit labels--We have taken your suggestions and requests and developed a more informative label.
• New information on your Control Sheets--We will be adding any "unscheduled orders" to the control sheet so you can better coordinate a patients visit to your unit with other modalities.

Another enhancement on the way, that will not likely be ready by January 9th is an updated approach to the Medical Imaging Order Set. Currently work is being done to reorganize the order set to make it more specific for your individual modality. Once that work is done, the order set will be built and ready for use. This will make ordering of contrast and medication more convienent for you as well as make the procedure more safe for the patient.
