The Johns Hopkins Medicine Epic 2018 Upgrade

The Johns Hopkins Medicine Epic 2018 Upgrade will occur on February 10, 2019. All enhancement requests that have not already been completed will be postponed until at least February 18th, and personal editing of smart phrases and preferences will be locked between February 5th and 10th to allow the upgrade to gather a stable copy of your preferences.

We will have at-the-elbow support from Epic Credentialed Trainers/Epic Super Users for
Epic users at Sibley Memorial Hospital starting at 5am on the day of the upgrade as well as the following days in the Physicians' Lounge and throughout the hospital to ensure a smooth roll- out.

We want to provide you with helpful links to resources that will allow you to prepare for the upcoming changes.
