Epic Users Group Meetings – UGM 2022 -- August 22-24, 2022

Verona, WI US
August 22, 2022 to August 24, 2022

Course Overview

UGM facilitates networking and the sharing of practical informatics knowledge for physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and other Epic users in order to improve patient outcomes, patient safety, and patient care. This event features user presentations from clinicians across the United States and overseas, deep-dive breakout discussions and previews of upcoming functionality aimed at addressing issues raised by healthcare organizations.

This conference is organized for physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and other Epic users to network and share practical knowledge unique to their experience with Epic software. The conference features user presentations, breakout discussions and upcoming functionality previews of particular interest to our physician, nursing and pharmacist communities. The content of these sessions reflects identified educational needs from the experiences of established users, both in the user presentations and the Epic-led discussions and previews.

A key feature in the success of Epic conferences is the presentation of experiences from the user community. Organizations around the country have independently identified areas of need, and leveraged EHR technology to address these areas in innovative fashion. The shared wisdom of the user community, supplemented by Epic-led breakout discussions and new functionality previews, create a learning experience for the audience which incorporates deeper understanding of health care delivery, EHR technology, and the interaction between the two.

In order to provide structure and context to the diverse content offerings, educational material can be broadly categorized into four areas: 1) clinical care (decision support, cost-effectiveness, patient safety, optimizing workflows), 2) Healthcare provider efficiency (documentation, orders management, clinical data review), 3) Patient experience (healthcare provider and patient communication, patient engagement), and 4) Analytics (disease management and population health).
