When MidMichigan Health turned on its new electronic health record in April, 23 Michigan Medicine faculty and trainers were standing beside them.\u00a0<\/span>Preston Kelly, HITS training and support manager, said 10 of his training staff were on-site for eight days as they supported providers and mid-level clinicians.<\/p>\n \u201cMost of our trainers have been through several Epic go-lives so they were able to recognize a lot of similar issues and quickly offer solutions,\u201d Kelly said. \u201cIt was also great to see providers from both organizations making connections and building relationships. There is so much potential within Epic \u2013 learning from one another is a wonderful way for providers to better understand those possibilities.\u201d<\/p>\n The Michigan Medicine affiliate launched Epic, the software behind MiChart, to connect its Medical Centers in Alma, Clare, Gladwin, Midland, and Mt. Pleasant. Well-versed in MiChart go-lives, U-M clinicians and staff traveled from Ann Arbor to Midland to help their counterparts through the transition. <\/span><\/p>\n Jeff Terrell, MD, professor of otolaryngology, was one of the faculty members who helped during the go-live. He said his involvement at MidMichigan\u2019s Surgery Center was mutually beneficial. <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI am confident we helped expedite the identification of issues and kept OR cases flowing. Most importantly, we helped the MidMichigan Epic team give the surgical providers and staff a positive first experience, which no doubt translates to a happier house staff, a more efficient clinical team, and better patient care,\u201d Terrell said. \u201cFor my part, I truly enjoy helping providers become proficient in Epic.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n MidMichigan Health\u2019s clinicians and staff shared their appreciation and gratitude for the time and efforts of the U-M team.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI was very impressed to have a cadre of highly skilled and compassionate folks from Michigan Medicine help us during the go-live,\u201d said Pankaj Jandwani, MD, chief medical information officer at MidMichigan Health. \u201cThey were very professional and composed and helped us set a calm and supportive environment. Our providers even started to request their help by name!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A team from the HITS training staff headed north last month to help with MidMichigan Health\u2019s launch of its electronic health record.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":28,"featured_media":3317,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","_umich_oidc_access":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[228,176,281],"class_list":["post-3293","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-features","tag-ehr","tag-hits","tag-michart"],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/michigan.it.umich.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/MMH.jpg",300,166,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/michigan.it.umich.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/MMH-125x69.jpg",125,69,true],"medium":["https:\/\/michigan.it.umich.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/MMH-300x166.jpg",300,166,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/michigan.it.umich.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/MMH.jpg",300,166,false],"large":["https:\/\/michigan.it.umich.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/MMH.jpg",300,166,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/michigan.it.umich.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/MMH.jpg",300,166,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/michigan.it.umich.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/MMH.jpg",300,166,false],"excerpt-thumbnail":["https:\/\/michigan.it.umich.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/MMH-200x140.jpg",200,140,true],"themonic-thumbnail":["https:\/\/michigan.it.umich.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/MMH-60x42.jpg",60,42,true],"ioslider-thumbnail":["https:\/\/michigan.it.umich.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/MMH.jpg",300,166,false],"post-thumbnail":["https:\/\/michigan.it.umich.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/MMH.jpg",300,166,false],"400x250-crop":["https:\/\/michigan.it.umich.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/MMH.jpg",300,166,false]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"Heather Kipp, HITS Communications","author_link":"https:\/\/michigan.it.umich.edu\/news\/author\/hengeshl\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"A team from the HITS training staff headed north last month to help with MidMichigan Health\u2019s launch of its electronic health record.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigan.it.umich.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3293","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigan.it.umich.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigan.it.umich.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigan.it.umich.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/28"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigan.it.umich.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3293"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/michigan.it.umich.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3293\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3360,"href":"https:\/\/michigan.it.umich.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3293\/revisions\/3360"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigan.it.umich.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3317"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigan.it.umich.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3293"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigan.it.umich.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3293"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigan.it.umich.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3293"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
