Nurses transitioning from Cerner to EPIC EHR are anxious and lack a clear, organized workflow in EPIC, having relied on paper worksheets that may not have an obvious equivalent in the new system.
Training provided (EpicU) is insufficient for nurses to feel confident and adapt their existing organized workflows, especially without clear guidance on which EPIC activities (like Rooming or Flowsheets) are most relevant or how to replace paper worksheets.
Workarounds Described
- Uses a paper worksheet for each patient to stay organized during workflow
Implied Software Gaps
- Digital worksheet customization tool within EHR for role-specific patient tracking
