Epic Physician Build - Analytics (CLN171) -- May 9-11, 2018
Course Overview
The purpose of this training is to help physician builders understand the terminology and possibilities of creating reports in Epic. This course will give an overview of some of the different reporting options in Epic including Reporting Workbench and Clarity. The course will get into detail on configuring reporting workbench reports and some of the build the reports depend upon such as columns and groupers. The course will also spend a significant amount of time on registries – both how to determine which patients are included in the registry as well as what patient data should be stored in the registry tables. Once all of these building blocks are created, the class will get in to Dashboard setup. The final day will focus on some of the other Epic reporting tools such as an overview of Slicer/Dicer, Clarity and Ad-hoc Chronicles reporting.
