r/EpicEMR

I am currently certified in radiant, and I have worked in it for about 1.5 years. I have the opportunity to move to ambulatory- which would you rather work in or which is best for me long term?

I am starting to pick up on radiant but I’m not great at the workflows- I’ve never worked in the hospital and don’t feel very knowledgeable about imaging and especially about PACS.

I worked as a nurse in outpatient clinics prior to radiant and did a bit of EMR builds but using a different EMR, mostly optimizing clinical workflow and EPCS/prescriptions, kiosks/ipads, consents, that sort of stuff but with a different EMR.

Will I enjoy ambulatory? Should I make the switch?!

Also, I despise being on call for radiology.

Advice. Input. Help!?

Can you all tell me how your tracking sample meds within Epic?

I’m a medical student and sometimes when I enter a patients chart it will automatically create a new note. If I’m not careful and exit without noticing I’ll get a doctor pissed off at me because I have an incomplete note in the chart and they can’t sign the chart.

Weirdly, it seems to happen with not every patient. This has been extremely frustrating. And getting a call from an annoyed doctor when I’m at home watching Netflix cause they think I’m in the chart is anxiety inducing. Anyone know what could be going on?

Does anyone know how I can use more than 4 tabs at a time? Epic needs to allow more than this especially for analysts.

Our EPIC went down unexpectedly around 7:20pm (Eastern). It’s been hours and it doesn’t seem like it’s coming back anytime soon. Is anyone else experiencing this?
