Changes to Telehealth Visit Documentation

A few changes are coming to the look and workflow requirements for clinical information entered into the Telehealth Visit Documentation Tab. 

  1. When Yes is marked that a patient consented to the Telehealth Visit and Visit Method: Audio Only is selected, a new close encounter point will display. 

2. This hard stop will require time be entered within the LOS and will link to the LOS section in the wrap up activity when selected. 

3. If No is marked for patient consented to Telehealth Visit, all requirements are removed. 

4. There is no longer hard stops within the form, however completing all Telehealth Clinical Information will be a requirement to close the visit. 

5. There are new close encounter points that will populate as hard stops, requiring Telehealth Clinical Information be entered prior to closing the visit. Once the required Telehealth Clinical Information has been entered, the visit can be signed and closed successfully. 

 



Efficiency Hours - October 2022

Efficiency Hours are designed to help physicians be more effective and efficient using Epic to take great care of their patients. The tips and tricks we review are focused on tools that are available to any physician using Epic, and the sessions are free to attend. We are currently offering four sessions focused on outpatient workflows and one inpatient workflow focused session

Each session will be offered multiple times. Physicians attending live can earn up to 1.0 AMA PRA Category 1 credit and 0.1 CEUs from UPCEA through the University of Wisconsin. If you aren't already registered with UW-Madison, you can create your account by going to ce.icep.wisc.edu. We will send more information out about obtaining CME credits a couple of days before the session. 

If you're a physician builder or power user, you're still welcome to join us even if you are already an expert at efficiently using Epic...but what we really hope you can do is invite your colleagues and help them get signed up! 

***NOTE: All times listed below are US Central Time - THIS MAY BE DIFFERENT THAN YOUR TIME ZONE***
