I was an analyst 10 years ago. I want to get back into that role or very similar role. I’ve gained my certifications back but I’m having a hard time finding employment as an EPIC analyst. I understand the hesitancy for not choosing me compared to someone with recent build experience but I’ve been studying and practicing and I’m confident that I can do it again. I’m certified in Epic Cadence, Grand Central, and Prelude. What areas should I focus on to employed as an analyst? Are there any hospitals or companies with entry-level openings?

Do we need to make up Temp OOO time?

What if we hit 40 hours (or whatever your TL wants) despite taking the Temp OOO time?

What if we don’t hit 40 hours if we don’t make up the Temp OOO time?

I have a doctor’s appointment coming up in late May and it’ll take a few hours out of my work day.

Thanks!

The MAR Is a Clinical Tool, Not a Billing SheetThe MAR exists to support patient safety and clinical workflow, not billing convenience. Epic’s medication workflows especially those integrated with IV smart pumps are designed to reduce medication errors, improve clinical outcomes, and streamline nursing documentation.

The presence of medication safety integration nurses and clinical informatics teams proves that the MAR is built by clinicians for clinicians, prioritizing patient safety over billing convenience.
This means that the people who design and manage the MAR. specialized nurses and clinical IT experts are focused on preventing medication errors and streamlining nursing workflows. Not on making sure a bill is generated.

Because the MAR is a clinical "safety net" created by healthcare providers rather than the finance department, medical coders must treat it as a clinical record that requires careful translation into billing codes, rather than a simple automated receipt. Billing is a secondary downstream function, not the MAR’s primary purpose. This disconnect is the root cause of many potential billing issues seen when the MAR is treated as a standalone charge document. The key mindset shift for coders is this:

The MAR supports billing, but it does not replace critical documentation review and analysis.

This becomes especially important when automated documentation is involved.

What’s the closest you can get to the non-compete without breaking it? Is it only UserWeb or environment logins?

I have aspirations to maybe be analyst after this place, or at least stay in healthcare. obviously I know working at a competitor or as an analyst is a No. But say I became a medical assistant at a local hospital in those 2 years and need access to system, would I be blocked even if I’m really just an end user and not a emr admin? What about in business support function not in direct clinical/emr space?

How skiddish are customers on hiring during the non-compete even in non direct EMR roles?

Edit just for clarification, it’s not that im purposefully trying to sneak around the non-compete. Just want to see what options are open.

Does Epic Systems drug test new hires for any positions at all? I've searched past posts, and the general consensus seems to be that they do not test new hires. However, the last post I could find on this was 10 months ago. If they generally don't, are there exceptions for any higher liability risk positions like Cybersecurity or Systems Administration? Maybe even System Support roles of any kind? Asking for a friend who currently has a medical cannabis card/prescription in her the state where she currently lives.

I hope this post can be reassuring for those who truly believe Epic isn't a good fit for them, but have doubts about leaving.

I left Epic at 6 months knowing I was struggling mentally and it wouldn't set me for success for my desired long term career path.

I had a lot of doubts the weeks leading up to when I left, but with determination to find a job that would fit my career goals, I was able to land 15 interviews from 100 applications in 3 months, and receive 3 offers before settling on a role at a Fortune 10 company.

Some caveats:

- I was very fortunate and grateful to have the full support, emotionally and financially, of my parents who knew that I was struggling mentally at Epic

- I had internship experience during college, which gave me an edge in applications

When I left and moved back home, I treated recruiting like it was a full time job, and spent lots of time recovering by spending time with friends and family. In the process, I regained my confidence, and was able to land 3 offers.

For some people Epic is a great fit, but for my career goals, it personally wasn't. I want to provide this perspective to anyone who wants to take the leap of faith for their long-term happiness. Open to questions!

Can an analyst tell me if tracking sample medication in epic for an outpatient cardiac clinic is possible?

Second question is there a way to build a time efficient way for the nurses and medial assistance to document the sample meds? Right now I’m getting feedback the current way is too cumbersome. Is there a way to get the documentation to auto populate when the provider puts in the order?

Hi guys! Can anyone share any info on AMB 400 project ? I tried to start on it and I felt so completely lost. On the project request, is asking certain things we didn’t go over in the class. Is it just me or did anyone else felt the same way? Lol any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi. I have 2 years of labor and delivery and post partum RN experience. I’m looking for fully remote epic analyst, clinical informatics role, or a role in technology. I’m trying to step away from “hands-on” patient care. I don’t know if I’ll qualify for intermediate role or just junior role, but I have great experience and have transferrable skills. I’ve got a good resume. Any tips? What companies are hiring? I’m learning sql and basics online.
