There have been logistical challenges related to regulations as well as ensuring that the quality of at-home-training is high enough to maintain provider and patient safety standards.
After further testing and several dry-run Training Sessions, the Epic Together Training Team is recommending that all trainees (including providers, managers and physicians) come on-site to a Training Facility to maximize your learning experience. Once at our facility, you will be equipped with all the necessary tools and resources to be successful. This includes all technical equipment, headsets, live tech support and additional trainers to leverage if need be. Feel free to bring your own headset if you would like to do so.
It is always a good idea to refresh your knowledge of the system prior to training. Your work has not gone to waste and will serve you well when you complete your full training with your new Wave.
Training is specific to roles and responsibilities within the organization. The training schedule will provide further detail.
LMS is the Learning Management System/ a.k.a. Symplr (formerly NetLearning), and it is the central hub that End Users, Managers, and Physicians will use to register for training, complete their prerequisites, attend their VILTs (Virtual Instructor-Led Trainings), and take their EUPAs (End User Proficiency Assessments). All End Users will have access to Symplr post go live and will use it for continued education.
The User’s Symplr dashboard will reflect prerequisites and any post-go-live classes required. After the User registers for their VILT, it will populate to the top of the User’s To-Do List. Users will also receive a VILT confirmation email and a VILT reminder email before the day-of-class.

A Super User is an End User who is an Epic Specialist in their occupational area. Super users are critical to both the organization and their particular occupational area.
